Winter weather has been in full effect up here in NC (except for this week, it has been wonderful!). We even had a couple snow days recently. Not quite enough for a respectable snow man but enough to run around and yell, "It's snowing! It's snowing!"
A couple weekends ago, we went up on a ski trip to Boone with about 12 people and rented a cabin. Good times all around. The highlight must have been when I over-estimated my skills and decided to go along with the group up to a Blue slope that I had never attempted. Let me tell ya, I got off the lift and I realized that this was a huge mistake. I tried to zig-zag my way down for a little ways but after running into some frozen tumbleweed-looking things on the side of the mountain, I realized the jig was up. I ended up popping off the skis and walking down a good ways. The fun doesn't end there folks. Somehow I ended up dropping both of my skis and they go flying. I yell, "Myyyyyy skkkiiiiiii's!" in slow-motion, and luckily Marc was down there waiting for me and was able to somehow stop my skis with his snowboard. If that's not skills, I don't know what is. Here's us at the beginning of the day while we were still fresh. I think I easily win the hat contest here.

A lady at our church runs this blog and she really has some amazing design ideas. Very inexpensive ways to spruce up your home and make it cozy.

Garden Fresh Gourmet salsa
Has anybody tried this stuff yet?! I got it on sale last week at Harris Teeter and it is the BEST SALSA I have ever tried (excluding my grandma's). Seriously, it's life-changing. I feel like my North Carolina Mexican Food Tragedy is slowly turning around with this discovery. The best flavor in my opinion, is the Jack's Special- Medium. I tried the Artichoke Garlic flavor above and while extra tasty, it is a breath-killer. I tried mints, brushing my teeth twice, mouthwash, everything and it would not die.
Well, it's going back up to $4.99 full price this week but I simply must have it.
