(really awful pictures of us from Year 4)
Yes, I know it's hard to believe but Scott and I have made it to our 5 year anniversary! I often wonder what it is that keeps us together? Why do we get along so well? I think you might be able to tell why just by looking at the pictures above. Even at our worst we still like each other best.

However, Scott was a very good boyfriend and took me out this last weekend to buy me a new fancy dress to wear to our fancy dinner. It only took him 5 years to figure out what makes me really happy…shopping and good food.) :)
Look what I woke up to this morning! It's been snowing off and on all day now and we have about 4 inches dusting everything. People are out making snowmen and throwing snowballs. I even saw a few kids sleding down the slopes near the highway. As much we may be impressed the wildlife on the other hand seems to be.....
a bit put out by this sudden storm.
