Winter's end is in sight

Hey everybody, K here. 
While winter has been fun, we're about done with it... These snow storms are getting to be a little tiresome.

 Thursday night, when we suddenly got another rain/sleet/snow storm, R and myself had to try multiple routes home, as cars were stuck on hills, or unable to make it through intersections... after a long long drive home, which at one point included getting stuck on a hill during a red light with about 12 other cars, and having throw down some trusty salt/sand mix I keep in my car. (R was not having such a good time at this point, but she held out like a champ, and we made it through the light without having an accident while others weren't so lucky) We finally made it home, but were unable to make it up our complex's huge hill they call a driveway.  So we ended up parking down by the garbage drop off, and walking home to our apartment, which was much more fun than trying to drive anyway.

Gotta have a snowball fight... right?

Saturday night I built a snowman on the roof of the TV station complete with a flower-pot hat, and ended up getting on the news a few times with a picture!

Saturday Night

Monday Night.  The rain and sunlight were not kind to him.

Needless to say the change in weather can not come soon enough for us, and that is escalated even more by the fact that we have new bicycles.  So far we've only gone on one ride, (on one of those magical 70 degree days we had a few weeks back) and it was GREAT!  So fun! Need moooree....

Thanks to Pappa Hatfield for generously donating his old ride to our cause, here it is on my test ride out in Shawnee-Mission Park.
 And here's R's brand new Trek Lexa






Here's a tiny look into R's awesome creativity!  These were a couple of Valentines she made at her craft circle from the last post.

I have the best Valentine E.V.E.R.

Here's another little example of how awesome R is to me... I came home from work, and found an entire tupperware FULL OF CUPCAKES!  Woo!  I didn't think to take a picture of it until they were almost gone though.
Also she had made a delicious BBQ meatloaf that I don't know anything about... other than it was delicious, and could have eaten it forever.  A photo was not taken of this, because it didn't last long....


WEDDING UPDATE:
If you haven't noticed yet, we have made a wedding web-site, and there's a link on the right of this page, above our "about me" section.  It's pretty fun, and I encourage you to sign the guest book over there. 
We may not be totally ready for the wedding yet, but at least there's a little flower girl we know who is now ready to dress her part!

Flower Girl Apparel

We'll post again soon and let you know how the Spring transition is going.  In the meantime everybody go wash off the winter salt, and let's do this Spring thing!
