Snow Snow Snow and more Snow

After a VERY snowy Friday, Matt and I decided to take a trip up to a small mountain in NH and try some sking. Well, he skied, I sat in the lodge, read a book, and enjoyed the snow with my Hot Chocolate. :) Here are some pics from the outing, just to give you an idea of how much snow we got on Friday.

And all of this, was just on Friday. We got even more snow on Sunday. I went out to clean my car and had almost 6 inches on there just from Sunday alone. I think all and all we got about a foot and a half of snow here! CRAZY!




This is me in the lounge. :) :)

Oh...and the best part of the day?!?!?! I got to see Santa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slightly Irritated

So, I have this friend...he got engaged. And I am little bit hurt by the drop in our friendship. I should say, its not like we went from talking everyday to not talking less than that. Cause that I would understand. I mean, it is natural when you or a friend gets into a serious relationship that you would be somewhat replaced. But this is a friend that I talked to only occasionally anyways. But because of our history, and the fact that it was limited communication already...I didn't really expect a HUGE change in our communication level. HOWEVER there has been a HUGE shift. I have not only left different comments on his facebook wall, but I have sent messages as well. With nothing in response. Maybe I am over sensitive about this...but because he is an ex and we have talked about being at each others weddings, I kinda expected some kind of response when I sent him an email telling him I would be unable to attend his wedding. My reasons are justified as well. I sent him the email, because although the invitations haven't gone out yet....he and I had talked about how I was invited. Well, initially the wedding was supposed to be in August, and now it is in June. Well, my sister is getting married in July and all of her bridal showers, and bachelorette events are planned for the weekend in June. Therefore, I will have to miss his wedding. Well, when I wrote him an email to let him know this...he never responded. I don't know what I expected. If I wanted a "we will miss you" or even just a "thats too bad" but I think I just wanted some form of a response. Instead I feel I have been ignored like the plague. Now, his fiance and I were never really close...but since the engagement, well really since she and he got together, she and I have talked a couple times. While she doesn't seem to be the type that would be jealous of her fiance talking to his friend who is a girl...maybe thats all this is. I think in the end I am more irritated because I am tired of having fickle friends.

When did friendship become something people can just take or leave? I guess to me, friendship is more than that. Friendship is about loyalty. And about loving someone for who they are. Its not something that just one day stops. I only have a few people I really consider friends. But thats because to me the word friends means way more than "a person I know and might hang out with." A friend is someone I feel I can really share my life with. Someone who will be there for me no matter what. Someone who will talk to me even when they get engaged. Maybe I just over estimated my friendship with this person. Maybe I mistook history with friendship. Ultimately, maybe thats the problem...having a history with a person doesn't make you automatically friends...just means you have history. To some people history might not mean much...but to me it does. Oh well...guess I am just looking too much into this. What do you think??

Till the next one....

The first blog...this is dedicated to Jackie...

So, I am not really sure what to write about. I am sitting here at work, bored out of my mind and decided to write a blog...well really, Jackie convinced me to write a blog. I tried to tell her that no one would read about my boring life...but she insisted that she would, and that she was sure there would be others. While I am not completely convinced she is correct, at least I now have something to do at work. :) So if for no other reason, this blog has served a purpose.

Lets see....something to write about....

Well, we got our first large snow of the winter yesterday and they are expecting more tomorrow. I love living in New England...I love being so close to the ocean in the summer, and feeling what winter really in in the winter. I think the part I am most excited about right now is the prospect of a truly white Christmas. There is just something about snow on the holidays...makes you want to hibernate a little. Stay in with the people you love, and enjoy being warm and cozy while you watch the snow fall around you. I am excited too for this year...my brother will be coming to RI for the holiday! Seeing as he leaves for Afghanistan in March it will be great to get to spend some time with him. But the best part of all is probably my Birthday/Christmas gift from Matt. A plane ticket back to TN to spend time with my family. My papaw, who has been in radiation treatment for his cancer, will be there along with my grandmommy, and my Aunt Sheila. Oh, and of course my mom! I am sad I won't get to see most of my friends (April and Robin being the two biggest disappointments!) but I can't wait to see Jackie!!! It will be so nice to spend even just one night hanging out with you!

Alright...well I better get back to "work" if you can call it that. Don't worry, later posts will include pictures and all things more interesting than just my writing...but for now...take what you can get! ;)

Love you all, my loyal readers! (all two of you!)

Till then...
