Luckily, Mitch was off the whole time with me! He had taken off this past monday sine we were suppose to go out of town. Which brings me to my next point. We did not get to go to AR/Branson. This was devastating, depressing, awful... do I need to go on. I look forward to this trip every year and I especially love it because, well y'all know I love anything Christmas and well if you have been to Branson this time of year, it is incredible!!!
So since I could talk forever about how 5 plus days off- I will just show them to you in pictures.
It started with lots and lots of snow. I think we got around 5 inches.
Bella LOVED the snow!

Not how we wanted to spend our saturday. Long story short- I have had an ear ache for about two weeks (I thought it was all this change in weather and allergies) and it got severe this weekend. We tried to go earlier in the week but bc of the bad weather everything was closed. So we went to urgent care during Bedlam... that should tell you how bad it was. I was up the past two nights, ALL night, and I had so much pressure in my ear I couldn't hear out of it and well.. it was just awful. The doctors reaction wasn't a surprise to me, but it let Mitch know how bad it was. She had to clean and drain it to even see in it. Once she did that she said both ears were extremely inflamed and I had an ear infection not only on the inside of both my ears but on the outer ear too. So 4 prescriptions later we were on our way home.
This is super random- but one night we HAD to get out of the house. We were both craving bbq so we went to Rib Crib and I had a coupon for a free appetizer. We got the chicken and bbq nachos and yes they tasted as good as they looked. Also this could feed about 6 people!
This is way dark, but we finally went to see Catching Fire. I am DYING to see Frozen, so we are planning on seeing that this week .
These next two pics were taken Monday and it was by far the best day of break! We were still going stir crazy, so Mitch thought it would be a good idea to just get out for the whole day. Now I'm going to try and make this story short... so we follow the dave ramsey envelope system (best decision ever) and so each month we put money into several envelopes. One of those envelopes is for me and one is for mitch- so we get so much money a month just for "our spending". So we can buy whatever want or save up with that money. So over the past several months we have been taking small amounts out of each of our "personal" envelopes to save up and pay for Branson without having to take money from anywhere else out of the budget. Well when out trip got cancelled, not only did we have it all saved up, but that trip was our christmas gift to each other. So since we weren't going to Branson, Mitch thought we should go get a christmas present we have been wanting. Also this is way out of the normal for us. But since we had been saving our own money we spent the day shopping for something we have really been wanting. Below is what we came up with!
Mitch got his new driver he had been wanting. This is him testing out EVERY driver in the store :) He loved every minute of it. And I got a new Michael Kors purse!! Now most of y'all know purses are my thing. Like some people love shoes, makeup, etc... well mine is purses. I do have a lot of purses, but I have never had a really really nice one. I thought it was about time to invest in a "grown up" purse as I call it. Im obsessed!
And being snowed in for a week, of course we made and decorated christmas cookies!
Overall, I had a great extra long weekend! Even though our trip was cancelled, I was so thankful Mitch was off and we got to spend lots of quality time together! I even enjoyed the snow :)
