Snow!

I don't have a lot of time to write tonight because I have lots of homework, but I wanted to share a couple pictures from our first real snow day.
This past Thursday we got 4 inches of snow! It was very exciting for us, especially being CA natives who don't get much exposure to that white stuff. We woke up to a white-blanketed wonderland and felt like little kids all over again. Nick was hoping that he didn't have to go into work-- because the city all but shuts down when it snows, due to the fact that Portland does not have the appropriate equipment to deal with it.

Unfortunately for Nick, the snow melted off the streets pretty quickly and he was able to get to work without a problem. Toby and I took a walk around the block around 8 that morning and it was so beautiful and serene. No one was in sight--barely a car on the street. And it was just white all over.
Toby was thrilled about the snow. He tried digging in in and ate plenty of it, too.

More to come soon! My dad was here helping us move into the condo this past week, and we covered a lot of Portland ground (and drank lots of good Portland beer [: ). We're almost finished unpacking, too-- woohoo!

P.S. It's such a luxury to have our furniture back... I have (at last!) upgraded from a beach chair to a big cozy couch. Never again will we take our furniture for granted!
