snow in san antonio?

It's a fact. On February 4th, San Antonio actually got "enough" snow to close down major highways, schools, and best of all- WORK! 

The night it snowed, Katy and Billy stayed at the house because of all the ice on the roads (and the few beverages we consumed). At 6 a.m. I woke up and checked my phone to see the time. I noticed a text from my mom at 3 a.m. that read "snow everywhere!" Immediately, I peeked outside our bedroom window and there it was! I woke up Neal (not a happy camper) and whispered "look babe! It really did snow!" only to have him answer "I know. Go back to sleep, we'll see it later." 

Later? It's San Antonio. LATER it's going to be melted and people will be walking around in shorts! I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about the snow. After about an hour and a half I couldn't take it any longer. I ran upstairs and woke Katy up. She didn't believe me... I open the blinds as quickly as I could and we both threw on as many layers possible.

After about 20 minutes of playing around, we all went back inside and fell asleep. I got a nice phone call that work had been cancelled and to enjoy the day off! Needless to say, the snow started melting and Neal and I made our way out of the house for some lunch at Freebirds. 

25 years since it has snowed (and stuck!) 

Glad I got to spend it with my bestie and bby.

xo, ash.

in case you didn't know...

1. I've finally come to the conclusion that I prefer Chips Ahoy over Oreos when it comes to cookies and milk.

2. I think Almay Triple Effect in Blackest Black is the BEST mascara I have ever used. And it's not expensive. I have gotten more compliments on my lengthy lashes than ever before. 

3. I love reading. If there is a movie coming out based on a book, I read the book first. Example: Running with Scissors. The book was WAY better than the movie. 

4. I use Clorox Bleach Wipes for everything. (thanks to Shannon, my over-compulsive-cleaning friend)

5. I still sleep with FAO. My stuffed turtle I got on my first trip to NYC when I was 8. I washed him for the first time 2 weeks ago. 

6. I love my nephew, my boyfriends nephews, my friends kids, and even kids I don't know. Creepy? Nahh.

7. I wish I had this wardrobe. 

8. I don't watch Jersey Shore. In fact, my friend Katy was in Las Vegas last year and called me from the pool... the conversation went something like this:

Katy: Pauly D is at the pool with us!!

Me: Paula Deen!!!

Katy: PAULY D!

Me: I love Paula Deen! Paula Deen Y'ALL! 

Katy: No dude. PAULY DEEEEEEE. From Jersey Shore!!!!

Me: Oh the one with all the abs??

9. I do love RHOBH. 

10. I love my boyfriend. He makes me smile just thinking about him.

11. I don't understand exactly what this means #iamwaybehind (did I do that right??)

12. I am obsessed with my boyfriend's mom's dog Gracie. I try and kidnap her every chance I get. 

13. My mom and I text each other "LYMMIC" every single day. (It stands for "Love You More Most Infinity Cubed")

14. I love watching scary movies. Especially with Katy. 

15. I really love cooking. I wish I had the money and the utensils to cook delicious vegetarian meals EVERY DAY! 

16. I am Team Aniston. (still.)

17. Yellow is my favorite color. 

18. Spurs > any other sports team. 

19. Things you will always find in our refrigerator/pantry: Claussen Pickles. Ruffles. Homemade Ranch Dip. Celery. Tomatoes. Parmesan Cheese. Rigatoni Pasta. Vigo Peppers. Milk. and Haribo Gummy Bears.

20. I thank God every day for all the imperfections that make my life perfect.

Until next time... xo, ash.
