Abby’s Saturday // Twenty-Six

D&K adventures: It snowed this week. Like – Derrick & I were talking about it this morning – it’s the most snow we have ever had at one time since we’ve been married! The official reading after it was all said & done Wednesday was 15″! FUN – yes & no. If I was a kid & didn’t have to drive in the stuff or go to work through it all – I would be overjoyed! But since the bank never closes & Derrick won’t let me walk to work – it kinda turns my attitude towards it a little sour [that & the fact that Derrick had Wednesday off because his job closed for the day]. I was just a little jealous/upset/enraged on Wednesday morning when he got the call that he didn’t have to go to work & I found out that they still wanted the bank to open. BUTTTT – I digress..

Abby’s antics: Abby LOVES the snow! She has a hard time coming in after we take her out and play with her in the yard on normal occasions – but when it snows it’s like trying to catch a penguin at the zoo to give it a hug or something! She’ll be covered in snow, shivering because she’s so cold, but she still refuses to come in. I followed her around with my camera yesterday & have a post scheduled next week of her jumping around – but if you can’t wait – Derrick posted a video on his Facebook page he took of her playing this afternoon!

Radiating thankfulness: We got a new bed & new couch last week and we are SO in love! 3 years ago when we moved into our house we bought a Tempurpedic mattress – it was so so wonderful. We loved it! But lately [like the last 6 months] Derrick has been having back troubles & we’ve began narrowing down causes & ultimately realized it was our bed. UGH. We called Tempurpedic [because they have this crazy lifetime warranty] and explained what was going on & long story short – we got it replaced as it was determined that it was defective! We went back up to the store we originally bought it from & literally laid on every mattress they had. Talk about a hard decision! We ultimately decided to leave Tempurpedic in the dust & get a Seally Hybrid [it’s a traditional spring foundation with a memory foam top] – so far it is heaven! AND the best part! We had a credit for the original amount we paid for the mattress left over – and we used that credit to buy a new [and much needed] couch!! Our house is now the coolest place ever & we are so pumped!!
