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:

and here i am, extremities completely frozen, conjuring up the teeniest smile despite my drenched jeans (is there anything worse?!):

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:

if matt were a superhero he would be the one with the heightened olfactory- and since i googled that and didn’t find a name i’ll just say matt IS that superhero. talent? smelling. it is quite otherworldly how he smells- like a pregnant woman mixed with a drug dog and quite as unstoppable. surely we can figure out a way for this talent to save lives, right?

for now i just appreciate him suggesting i add more nutmeg to my alfredo FROM THE COUCH. it really is a gift and he’s never been wrong but it can be really incriminating. for example, if i slightly sear anything even the teeniest bit he’s on to me and running to cover the smoke alarm- yea we do that, don’t tell our landlord please. but i wouldn’t trade his abilities for the world as it comes in so handy when i’m unsure about the lunch meat or the milk from last week. in these cases, he’s clutch.

it does, however, ruin surprises. breakfast in bed? nope! the smell of coffee or apple turnovers will literally JOLT matt from his rem cycle. mind-blowing. for the most part i appreciate it but i didn’t write this post to blabber…

really, i just wanted everyone to know i am married to a superhero, that’s all!

* over christmas my aunts wanted to take an extended family shot and matt took it upon himself to set up the camera- the resulting test images totally cracked me up!
