Are you feeling my pain?

All I have to say is what is up with the gas prices? I left for work in a hurry needing gas yesterday and it was $3.09. I got home and it was $3.45!!!!!!!!! Sure wish I would have not waited. The news said to expect it to keep climbing and be at least $4 by summer. What do these people (gas price raisers) think we are made of, money? I just wish we had a better form of public transportation like a metro or subway then I wouldn't have to worry about it. For now I will just vent on my blog and suck it up and pay because I have to! Thanks a lot gas raiser people what will it be next?

SNOW DAYS!

So if you haven't already heard we had a huge snow storm. I've been told that 1978 was actually the last time a storm like this came through Ohio. It snowed for almost 24 hours straight starting on Friday until about 7pm Saturday night. It would have been no worse than any snow storm we were used to in Utah however, they don't plow the roads here so it was bad. Since they don't get snow like this here often they actually have storm warnings: Level 2 means the roads are hazardous and you shouldn't drive unless you have to. If it elevates to a Level 3, you can actually get a ticket for being on the roads! EVERYTHING closes down and nobody drives on the roads. With the winds picking up they even had it as a blizzard warning so..... you can see why people here kind of freak out. Even the plows get scared to go out I guess! Friday they completely closed one freeway because 5 semi's wrecked. They cancelled me being on call for work Saturday night because it was too dangerous to go out, they even cancelled our enrichment and church this morning!! I kept telling my family how jealous I was of all the snow in Utah - no more complaining now!

I made it home safe from work Friday night (took me 1 hour and usually only takes 15min) but then haven't left the house since. Raquel braved the weather, against the warnings (we Utahns know how to drive in the snow right!!) and came over. She barely made it, and once she got here it really wasn't safe to leave so we had a sleepover - yay so much fun!! She brought her puppy Boxer and now "the girls" have a new boyfriend to fight over :) It was nice having her here because Shayne was studying at a friends and got "stuck" there so he ended up having a sleepover too.

To pass the time we made lots of cards, chatted and sang to our hearts content, watched and laughed as the dogs played (videos to come as soon as I can get them to work) and watched some fun movies. Thanks Raquel for such a fun time while we were stuck inside!

This is how high the snow was when I woke up Saturday - it still snowed the rest of the day, you get the idea!

It's hard to tell from this pic but if you look the road is between the end of this shoveled area and the other condos - not plowed at all, just as high as the rest!

This is kind of blurry but you can see how much there was and this was still just Saturday morning!

I had to take a picture of my finished product. I shoveled this whole bad boy so Raquel could pull in. I paid for it the next morning (I could hardly move my back hurt so bad) and despite my efforts Raquel got stuck coming in anyway because of all the snow on the road (A neighbor had to help us dig her out!)

Belle and Zoey's new boyfriend - BOXER!!

Here are just a few of the cards I made over the last 2 days. What do you think am I getting any better? I sure hope so!!

What's In a Name?

Well apparently nothing considering these statistics. I thought Sherri Perry was pretty unique (I've never known anyone else with that full name) in fact I rarely ever met other people with just the first name Sherri until I moved here to Ohio, and I swear I have met so many now. I am one of three just at my work. I think at least half of those 94,00 people must live here. I wasn't surprised at all about Perry other than I thought there would actually be more than the number they said. But, 88 with the full name of Sherri Perry is quite a lot I think. Anyway, I thought this was kind of fun so now you see, how many have your name?

DENTAL WIVES GNO

One of the other dental wives (Candice) and I decided that since our husbands spend every waking hour together at school, maybe we should get to know all the other 1st year student's wives. So, we started a dental wives club. Quite a few of my friends at other schools already have these but for whatever reason we didn't, it's basically just a glorified name for a big GNO. The plan is to get together once a month and do something fun. Some of us already know each other but we know there are still many others we don't. We had our first official get together on Friday night and it was tons of fun. We went it our pj's and talked, ate mounds of yummy junk food and watched a fun movie. It was kind of short notice this month so quite a few of the girls couldn't come. It was still fun and I look forward to next month when we can hopefully meet even more people and have lots more fun! Thanks Katie for hosting at your house!!

We didn't get everyone in the pic but this is a few of us that were there!
