I have been here many times before

Well hello there, everyone!
I'm so sorry that it's been so long since my last update. I've been busy with family, school and my car blowing up. Yes, that's right, I said blew up. I don't remember if I've mentioned it, but about two weeks ago, Andrew, Kyle, Lauren and I were supposed to go to the New England Aquarium, well on that drive my car broke down not two minutes after we crossed the border into Massachusetts.
It finally snowed here. Today's storm is actually going to leave a good amount of snow on the ground, so it will finally look like winter here. It's only the second storm this winter. I honestly hope it stays that way. I'm a horribly nervous driving in a two wheel drive car during the winter, especially when it's snowing. I've spun out many times in two wheel drive cars during the winter and I just don't trust them anymore to drive during a snow storm.
I've started school again. I had my first class on thursday, and my second class was supposed to be today, but because of the storm, campus was closed. I'm happy about that because I really didn't want to miss my first class of the semester for that class.
I had a difficult time photographing the snow, since everything around where I live is a lighter color, so the snow doesn't really pop out at out. I had to use a leafless tree as a background so you could somewhat see the snow fall. It's the same background in every photo, I apologize for that. I didn't want to move too far out into the snow fall for fear of ruining my camera.

Halloween was canceled.

For real. It was really canceled in the state of Connecticut.
Because of all the damage the snow storm brought.
Yes indeed, I did say (write) snow storm.
We had a severe snow storm pass through CT over the weekend. Andy and I drove through it on our way to Salem MA on Saturday. I managed to snap a few shots. And I do mean few, the lighting was terrible and the snow made everything blurry and get dark. It was a rainy snow too that we got in Salem, it was terribly windy. I almost got blown out into the street at one point, but I didn't Andy and I were holding hands and so he kept me from getting blown out into traffic. I didn't get any photos in Salem, all it was doing was raining and snowing at the same time and you know that the wind was terrible. So because of all that I didn't want to chance taking my camera out and ruining it because of all the water that was being blown around by the wind.





Now for the very first time I am introducing you to Sadie. Andy's cat that we're taking home with us when we get our apartment in the Spring. She's an absolute doll! She's gorgeous! And such a sweet heart...well when she wants to be. She gets a bit cranky when you try to pick her up when she doesn't want to be.
