Battles with Mother Nature


It snowed the day the packing crew came to box up our things for the move.
It snowed the day the movers came to load our stuff.
It iced the day we got here.  
It snowed on our first day of work.

Mother Nature has it out for us.  I'm not sure what we did to tick her off, but she definitely seems to be inconveniencing us on the key dates that we could really use good weather.  Today was our first day of work and we were both sent home early due to a winter storm.  I swung by Josh's office to pick him up on my way home.  It took 2 hours to drive a total of 10 miles.  Crazy!  Now I understand why the entire D.C. Metro area has to shut down when it snows...it's impossible to clear the streets efficiently with this many cars on the road.  We've been watching the snow from our living room window and it's been white out conditions for the last hour.  The weatherman said that by midnight we should have 7-10 inches.  I'm not gonna lie...I'm pretty excited at the possibility of a snow day tomorrow!

My first day of work was a bit strange and overwhelming to say the least.  Josh's first day went well except for a situation regarding where his temporary office is located.  Not the ideal first day of work either of us had wished for but we survived.
