We couldn't be happier that winter has finally returned to the high country!! We were beginning to think it was all over with. One request though ... for those who don't feel comfortable driving in snow, we beg of you - please stay at home. Don't get us wrong ... we completely understand that some folks aren't used to driving in winter conditions, but when it takes almost six hours to drive from north Phoenix to Flagstaff with no apparent accidents along the way, that is waaaay toooo long! That is just what happened last night after leaving from a meeting. On the bright side though, we returned with two new wonderful clients!
This was the view from our front porch this morning :-)!
Wishing everyone a safe and joyous holiday season from our family to yours!!!
Just so you know - we are so SO jealous over here! No snow in sight and today is the first sunny day for - months?!? We have decided that we have to move north - or over seas - soon. Flagstaff is on our list!!
A merry christmas from Sweden, to all of you, wonderful americans! Still looking forward to visit you again...;) /Josefin & Mikael
And that it did ... for three solid days, leaving us with almost 2 feet of snow and finally making the holiday season feel a little more real to me.
I have been extremely busy over the past few months with weddings, shoots and deadlines and when I heard we were going to get this massive winter storm I was soooo excited. I have paid little attention to the holidays and though I had a tree sitting outside, I had not planned any time to actually move it inside and decorate it. It worked out perfectly though, because I cannot think of a better way to get into the holiday spirit than to settle in with a cup of hot chocolate, a roaring fire, and some Christmas tunes playing in the background and enjoy the peace of decorating the tree - all while a peaceful snow falls outside.
A photo to give scale to how much snow actually fell ... it was a lot :-).
I love the second photo. So beautiful. :)
(10.22.10 @ 08:11 PM)We had a very busy weekend down in Phoenix with three large back-to-back-to-back weddings. Blurry eyed, sore and extremely tired we headed back to Flagstaff late last night only to be welcomed by our first snow storm. Funny thing is, last year we made jokes all winter long that every time we had a wedding or a meeting in Phoenix we always seemed to have to drive home in a snowstorm ... looks like this year might hold more of the same :-)!
Sure makes us miss Flag even more! Beautiful picture!
(11.11.08 @ 12:28 PM)Happy Halloween!! We have a wedding today so we won't be able to celebrate it, but for those of you who will ... be safe and have fun!!
Don't get me wrong, but I am SO glad I don't have to drive back and forth to NAU anymore! I am one of those drivers you just mentioned who is not experienced enough with driving in the snow. It actually almost snowed down here in Tucson after reaching 80 last week!
