The extreme amounts of snow that have recently fallen are unbelievable. I can not remember a winter with this much snow in a long time. Sunday night as Cody and I were driving home from my parents house the roads were really icy after getting off the freeway. I am a super paranoid driver in the snow. This means that if there is any (even the slightest amount) accumulated moisture on the roads which include (but are not limited to): snow, ice, or slush; then I drive very cautiously. I start slowing down for a stop sign or a light about 200 feet in front of it, and I only drive about 20 miles per hour. Sometimes I can be a little obnoxious with the driving. However this night Cody was driving and while he is cautious he is not over the top like me. So as we were approaching a red light at about 35 miles per hour, he hit the breaks and ....we didn't stop any. Luckily there were no cars coming through the intersection and the light turned green as we went under, but it was still enough to scare me!
Did anyone else see the Jazz game last night against Denver? It was a nail biter all the way to the end, and into overtime. But we won thanks to the amazing Deron Williams who hit a three in regulation to get us to over time, and Kyle Korver for being so darn clutch with free throws.
This weekend we will be celebrating Cody's 24 birthday! If anyone has any good ideas as to what I should get him feel free to post them. Last year I didn't get him a present(or a card either)...I couldn't justify spending money on anything because I didn't find anything that really excited him (He wanted a big screen tv last year, but that was a little out of our league) I did however spend the rest of the year paying for this mistake. Every few months he would find something he wanted and say, "since you didn't get me a birthday present we will count this as it." I think I ended up getting him about 5 presents for last year. I better play it safe this year and just get the guy something!
And last but not least for the past months Cody and I have been toying with idea of looking for new apartment, really we were just waiting for the right deal to come along. Well this past week we found it! We signed the lease Tuesday night (this is cool because the lease is only month-to-month, which means we aren't stuck in any kind of a contract!) This means that we will be moving out on March 1st.
The new place is just a few miles from where we currently live, and it is a single story duplex. My favorite feature about it is that there is actually tile in the kitchen!! A few of my 4-plex neighbors can probably understand my feelings there since we have carpet in the kitchen.....when you spill anything it is nearly impossible to clean up. We will also have a driveway, and a backyard! I am not really quite sure why I am so excited about the backyard but I am for some reason.

Slip 'n' slide parties at YOUR HOUSE!
I will miss you though...
WHAT!!! We got a good thing going on here! Now we are going to get some new people that wont talk to us and just look at us like we are all crazy. But congratulations! I think it is everyones dream to leave Sara cir. It's a love hate relationship. Poor McKenna will be all alone her in a few months. :(
So, when are you going to post a copy of the much better looking picture of you and Cody that I sent you? You know, the one where he is really smiling?
Rachelle...hello friend! I haven't read your blog in forever. Your story about driving in the snow cracked me up and remind me of 2 other stories about you and driving in snow. 1st you called in at work because you were trying to get back up here from Lehi and were caught in a snow storm and lets just say things weren't going well for you. 2nd, remember that time you took me home from work and we saw that guy totally slide through the intersection in front of us? Probably what you guys looked like. Hehe. I hope you are doing well. I miss talking to you. Call me sometime!
