Winter Storm

Well as many probably heard Baltimore got bombarded by snow this weekend! 22 inches fell here as recorded at the airport. I think it's the most ever, at one time, in this area. It started late Friday night and continued consistently for 24 hours. Saturday was a great day to stay inside with hot chocolate and movies...which is what Mosley did as poor Zach tried to get home from Connecticut. He finally made it on the train around midnight. Mos and I did go outside on top of our parking garage and played for about 30 minutes. Another couple brought their dog out and Mos had a great time running around in the snow! Unfortunately I am a horrible picture taker and don't have any of the snow :( A bonus of the storm was that I didn't have to go into the ER Saturday night and work that terrible shift of 5pm-3am! And now I only have 2 days left!

Zach is gone again tonight to Buffalo for an interview, so Mos and I are hanging out.

We've decided to go to midnight mass at the Basicalla in Baltimore Christmas Eve night. Growing up Catholic, it is my favorite service of the year and I'm super excited to go to the cathedral. It's supposed to be beautiful and I can't wait to hear the music! For those of you who are Catholic, we like to sit, stand AND kneel during the service. Well given that Zach is Mormon, they don't do the whole kneel thing, so when I asked him if he minded if we went to the Catholic service he said he didn't but asked if he could bring knee pads!

Thanks for the weather update, Terry Swails. You guys got a whooper of a storm. Now it's our turn...the Midwest is in line for freezing rain, sleet, and snow starting Wednesday and going through Christmas Day...as it turns out you might have had problems getting back to Iowa afterall...I'm worried about getting to Grandma's for oyster stew and to Sally's on Christmas Day.

I've been thinking about attending the midnight Mass at the Cathedral in DBQ...the last time I was there was with you, Kendra and Danny. I too enjoy the celebration of Christ's birth during midnight Mass...it's spiritually uplifting.
