OMgoodness everyone.

What a week!

We survived the snowmageddon (bug) of a lifetime.

No lie it was some of the coldest temperatures that Texas has ever seen. Not only that, the freezing cold and snow covered the entire state!

Many people went without power for days at a time. Water pipes freezing and leaking in people homes became a problem. Some cities even ended up with boil notices because of water sanitation issues.

But here’s the thing. We never lost power during the entire ordeal! Sure it was drafty here and there, but overall we stayed snug and warm.

Our struggle came because – I kid you not – we all passed around an awful stomach bug during the entire ordeal.

H got pale and feverish. K started throwing up. Mom started throwing up. T got pale and sick. I gloated that I was going to survive it unscathed. And then I got sick right along with everyone else.

I wished we had spent more time playing in the snow and building fires and being silly, but I’m just glad we all survived.

Valentine’s Day 2021 was for the birds.

But I’m glad I got to spend it with you.

I love you.
