Snow and Ice was just so nice...

God always knows just what we need, after a kinda crazy week last week I got to enjoy two snow days to relax and replinish. My work was cancelled yesterday because of the roads and today because of no electricity, we will head to Tulsa this afternoon to celebrate Pop's life and comfort my mema and mom. It was so much fun to have my little neices over, burn holiday candles and listen to Christmas music since the satellite was out. We've had electricity this whole time which I am very thankful for since alot of people do not. Hope you are staying warm and safe too! Here are some pics of our iced in fun!


S'mores!!


ICE!

Dance Party!


of course there was lots of time for snuggling

Our new tree!

saying goodbye...


My pop died today, This week I've felt like a ping pong ball between OKC and Tulsa. We came to realize he was in his final days here with us. I saw things this week that will forever be in my heart and precious memories that I will be able to cherish always. The hardest thing this week was to watch my mema say good bye, How do you say good-bye to someone you've been married to for 66 years? I rejoice and I hurt all the same time. About a year ago after Ryan's grandmother's funeral I heard his grandfather say these words, I wrote them down as soon as I got home because I knew I would want to always remember them just as they were spoken, so simple and so meaningful, "Goodbye is always hard rather its just down the road or forever". Here is one of the most recent pictures my sister took of him which is just so perfect for remembering him.
