Let It Snow!

We tried to take a few pictures of ourselves for our Christmas cards out in the snow. I switched the picture because certain people made fun of me for putting the previous picture on here.

Here is our lovely car all covered in snow!

Last night it started snowing and we ended up with about 2 inches of snow on the ground the next morning. We are loving it! Corvallis does not get too much snow, but she sure looked good dressed in it. I love it when it snows because it makes a dark, drab landscape suddenly look bright and beautiful. Besides playing around in the snow, Tyler and I have a lot more serious matters to take care of (packing, finding housing, etc.)---So, I better stop blogging...

Have fun in the snow everyone who has it!!!

Finals Week...

It is that most wonderful time of the term....Finals! I don't think it will be too bad, though. I get done on Wednesday and so does Tyler. I had my first final today (modern dance). I just danced, so it was pretty easy. I have ballet and biology tomorrow and U.S. History on Wednesday morning at eight. Tyler feels a bit like this...

Oh, Christmas Tree...

Tyler and I were really excited to get our own Christmas tree this year! We do not have that many ornaments, but it still looked pretty good. The picture does not do the tree justice... The flash from our camera lit it up in a weird way, so you can't really see the lights on the tree. Oh, well... Our mantle was decorated with all of my nutcrackers (save my really large one), holly and fir, and our stockings. Tyler came up with an ingenious way to hang them by using a metal hanger to make hooks and he stuck them into two gaps beteewn the brick and the wood on the mantle. I was impressed. Again with this picture, the flash takes out the warmth from the picture, but it was lit with candles, not such bright, unyeilding lights as the flash seems to show. We are quite pleased with how the decorations all turned out and the wreath we made looks so lovely on the front door!

We are really ready to make to move to Virginia! We are so excited and hopefully we will be able to get into Treemont Apts. They seem to think that we cannot fill anyhting out until we actually move to Virginia. However, I am not sure how we can move there if we don't have a place to live!! Hopefully it will all work out.... Besides that we are really excited to start school at SVU and Tyler and I get to take some classes together! I also ge to take Theatre History with my sister, whom I absolutely adore! (It Takes Two...anyone??)

Sorry!!

I make some very silly mistakes sometimes and one of those was accidently deleting my blog... The real mistake was getting a new email. I had had my twinkletoes11_33 email since 7th grade and I thought to myself that it would be a good idea to get a new more mature email. So, I went to gmail and signed up for a new email. However, I somehow misspelled my middle name, which was part of my email and did not realize it. I told all of my contacts my new email and spelled my middle name right. Then, I went to use my blog and it automatically used my gmail address since google owns "Blogger". When I realized that I had misspelled my own middle name, I had to create a new email (I could not have it misspelled my whole life!) and I had already given everyone my email with my name spelled correctly. So, I made a new email and deleted my other one. By deleting my missspelled email address, that in turn deleted my blog. I am so sorry. I could not even use the same web address, because "Blogger" said that that account had been deleted and no one could use that address. So, I was pretty bummed about that and had to come up with a new web address. It is the "the soleph connection" because 'sol' is the first part of my middle name and 'eph' is the last part of Tyler's middle name. Plus, I think it is a pretty cool little word. So, that is the story, morning glory! Pretty pathetic...

So, I will start posting pictures as soon as I can. Thats all from me. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!!
