atlanta SNOW fun!

so in case you don’t follow us on twitter, it is SNOWING in ATLANTA today! and in case you can’t tell from that last sentence- this makes me VERY EXCITED!

when we walked out of church this morning i think i smiled bigger than i’ve smiled in weeks- it almost hurt- then proceeded to half hug/ half beat matt’s arm as i endlessly repeated, ‘it’s snowing, baby!’ as if he couldn’t tell by the ice-y whiteness weighing down his eyelashes and obscuring his vision. we met friends for pancakes and after a quick snowball fight (snow scraped off the hoods of cars in the parking lot, of course) we headed home to grab the camera. the flakes had gotten heavier and wetter (but had not quite turned to rain!) so we took turns juggling the umbrella as we shot everything in sight- including each other- that happened to be covered in snow. we didn’t have too much time before we were totally soaked through and it was time to enjoy the whiteness from our couch… ;)

here are a few from this rare snowy march day! first up: me realizing that my hat has a quarter inch of slushy snow on top of it:

like i said- we spent the rest of the afternoon watching the snow from our couch- this is the view from there, it’s lovely:
