There's all this white stuff on the ground

Well it's official. Montana has received it first snow storm (and it's really not even that big). The snow has been falling since yesterday afternoon and the temperatures have dropped far below 32 degrees. And with the first snow fall comes the careful driving and the snow shovels.

Most interested in the snow is Tana. Of course this is her first time seeing snow and she seems to think that the white stuff on the ground is fun to play with and jump in. I even caught her sitting in the middle of the year catching the snowflakes as they were falling.

So while everyone is carefully listening to the weather report to see how many more days they will be waking up to this sight in the morning:



I'll be feeling sorry for everyone as I'm waking up to this sight every morning:



Perfect timing? I think so. As we journey off to the islands of Hawaii, I just can't wait to spend time with my husband, being newlyweds, enjoying our time in the sun.

For the next 2 weeks, the only white stuff on the ground that we'll be worried about is the sand between our toes. : )

I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs.

Well it has been a whirlwind kind of November so far...and it's not over yet. But I have missed my blogging while all of the excitement was going on.

I have officially been married for 10 days and I have gone through the ups and downs of this wedding being over. "What am I going to do now that I don't have anymore wedding planning to do?" or "Wow. I'm so glad that stress is over." But when it all comes down it, Griff and I are now husband and wife and it's time for us to enjoy the time together.

Our wedding was honestly beautiful. Whether someone disagrees with that statement or not, we loved every minute of it. And it gave me so much joy to know that it was personalized with every little bit of "us". If I had to do it again (which I won't) I wouldn't have it any other way.

As we embark on our lifetime of happily ever after, I know that I will always look back on that moment that I walked down the aisle with my dad, that Griff and I danced our first dance, or that we cut our cake. I will never forget the people that we with us on that day or the way that the weather cleared up for us as the ceremony got closer. But most of all, I will never forget that moment that Grandpa Hofman pronounced us husband and wife.

I promise more details when we get back from our honeymoon : ) Hawaii here we come!
