So once again we have snow in Portland. Was a complete surprise to me! I never turned on the news when I was getting ready for work and it was raining at our place when I left. No sign of ice or any cold weather really.....I was wearing shorts of course because it really wasn't that cold out. I headed up the hill on the way to work and I called Emma to tell her it was snowing. All of a sudden around the corner there was SNOW and lots of it. I guess everyone else had seen the news and was NOT driving on the over pass that I take every morning. I only slipped off the road once but of course I was taking it easy.

It's usually the other drivers I am looking out for!!

I did not take this pic....forgot my camera this morning.

So this past weekend Emma and I and the pup decided to head on out to the coast to relax a bit. It was really what we both needed. I had planned it a while ago to go but it was a Valentines Day surprise for Emma. I told her a while ago that I had surprise but wasn't going to give her any idea when or where it was going to happen. I decided to give her a few clues on Valantines day in the card I gave her. She was pressing me to tell her what I was up to but the clues were easy and of course she figured it out.

We ended up leaving for the coast right after I got off work and stayed until Sunday afternoon.
