Here's a picture of some light pillars I took last night. It's a little blurry because it had a 24 second shutter speed, and I was using a barstool for a tripod. I can assure you that 24 seconds seems like a much longer period of time when you're standing outside in below freezing temperatures waiting for a camera to click.
Quite the weather we're having today. We have both a "Winter Weather Advisory" and a "Blizzard Warning". Luckily Heidi and I watched the forecast last night, and knew it was coming, because we're not going anywhere today. HUGOMORE42 We got groceries last night, and rented some movies. We both really liked The Illusionist. We'll let you know about Good Night, and Good Luck and Clerks II. We've paused our movie marathon to watch the MSU game, and we're hoping they'll pick it up in the second half.
Our house is coming along pretty quickly! Since our last update, we now have a roof, shingles, soffit, heating ducts, windows, a fireplace, and the beginnings of the electricity and plumbing. We need an electrical inspection and then a building inspection. Once we pass those inspections, they will start on the drywall and insulation. I would bet that exterior doors will go in soon too.
We survived our Christmas parties...barely. Norovirus (stomach flu) spread through my family pretty quickly. I have not caught it yet, but Chase was not so lucky. We got a lot of things for our house. There were a lot of things we didn't have and have never needed until now like rakes, shovels, water hoses, the list goes on! We also got some fun things like a porch swing, a bird feeder, a flag pole, and a very cool door bell that you can download MP3s onto.
