It snowed here! It never snows here! (esp when they say it’s gonna)
Poe’s looking awfully dapper out there against the white background. He wasn’t totally sure what to think about the snow- he pretty much just wanted to eat it.

this is straight up adorable.  Background info: My friend Hannah, who is currently living in Africa as a missionary, met a wonderful man serving in the same field…the catch is that they’ve never met, but have formed an amazing relationship online and through their like experiences.

Hannah, being her determined self, was dead set on sending him something for his bday, but he was in (Vienna) Austria. As fate would have it, she had a friend living near where he was going to be…So she had her pick up a cake from a local bakery and deliver it to his hostel, along with a handwritten letter (via fax).

This is him trying to figure out how in the heck Hannah got a cake to him in Austria from Africa. So stinkin cute. I just love his response to how he knows her too.

  • me: *dreaming* let's buy some land and a cabin in Montana
  • Hubs: ok, we will have to go visit it often bc of squatters.
  • me: what?
  • Hubs: squatters. There's some law that if you live on land for X amount of years, you can claim it as yours.
  • me: what?
  • Hubs: yea it's for real.
  • me: Ok, I now have Plan B for our life. If Plan A doesn't work out, we will find some land to live on in Montana, and in a few years, it's ours! Can we have an RV on the land or something to live in?
  • Hubs: Yea I think so.
  • me: I think I could live in an RV.
  • Hubs: We already do, babe.

I finally got around to utilizing this idea. It looks better in person, and the glasses I chose are really pretty, but you can’t see the details in the pic. (I superglued the glasses to the charger to avoid them getting knocked over. Downside is that the fumes from the glue made some white residue on the glasses, but it’s not terrible.)
Doesn’t the window unit in the background add a lil something extra?  Yeah, I thought so too.
