BLIZZARD!!!

We've hardly had a winter here in Denver this year, in fact, we've probably had more 60-70 degree days than days in the 30s, so here it is the end of March and we are on a blizzard warning until 6a Friday morning. I must say that I predicted this! We desperately need the moisture, since Jan 1 I think we've only had about 4" of precipitation. We are only expecting 8-16" but the very high winds will classify it as a blizzard.

I've had a lingering sore throat and cough since Monday night (it might have something to do with the hot/cold weather) and all symptoms kicked it up a notch in the middle of the night. I didn't sleep since I can't breathe and coughed non-stop. And since I'm technically still in my 1st trimester I get to suffer this one out since OTC medicines are out of the question. I'm taking the blizzard as a sign from above that I need to lay on the couch today and get better.

None of this is good timing though, my girlfriend, Becky, and I are throwing a baby shower for our friend, Lynda, on Saturday here at our house. Not only do I still have a long to do list, Lynda has a many out of town guests coming to town today and tomorrow. My to do list will get done (I will lay here and make my honey do list) but I pray Lynda's guests arrive without any major issues.

On a side note, our friends out here in Denver, Becky and Phil Shew, welcomed a darling baby boy on Monday evening. Becky and baby, Andrew James Shew, are doing great! We a so happy for them and can't wait to meet the little guy. Here is a pic of the beautiful new mom and baby.
