They were right.

So when they said it's cold here, they really meant it. 

My iphone tells me it's only -3... it has to be a lie. 

Feels like -20 to me! 

When the first snow fall happened, which was only a couple inches (nothing compared to what everyone else back home got! 3ft I believe?), I have to admit panic kind of set in. I was really stressing out about driving to work every morning in that rush of hundreds of vehicles, buses, and yes people still riding their bikes(that's a whole other story in itself). And especially since I have to travel to downtown each day, where I swear everybody and their dog is going each morning. 

I was pleasantly surprised! My expectations of slick roads and impatient people were not met; thankfully. Though the traffic was very slow, I was actually grateful! People were being cautious; I'm not going to complain about that! 

Having experienced my first winter in Calgary, in Storm and mine's first year of marriage was a NIGHTMARE. Everyone in a car acted like they had never seen snow before! What was this white crap and why is it soo slippery?.... Yes I developed road rage that year. 

So disappointed.. I don't have a costume for Halloween. 

And you guessed it, neither does Storm. But that's to be expected of him! Not me, I LOVE Halloween. 

My excuse, I have no where to wear it. Haven't heard of any party going on and I don't think where I work they dress up(since I'm really suppose to wear slacks, buuuut I don't always). I'm hoping maybe we'll get some trick or treaters so I can sport my witches hat! Which by the way is very cute and I'd wear it all the time if I could. 

Here's a little of what we've been up to..

a few of my Halloween decorations!

my first roast.. it was a success!

I drive this cute little road called

Broadway Ave to work everyday.

I really want to go to one of the

cafes someday!

first snowfall, taken from inside as per the 

poor quality! Doesn't look like any snow, but that's because my awesome husband shovelled all the snow on the back deck before I

had a chance to take a picture. 

My new found love. 

Nail art pen.. it's so fun!

I plan on doing spider webs for halloween!

I've asked Storm to do my right hand for me.. don't worry

I'll be taking pictures. 

My cute mother sent me this in the mail! Came with a 

package of things I needed and I wasn't expecting it at all! 

Those are the best:) 

Yes he shakes and sings. 

Movie suggestion for Halloween.. besides the oh so famous Hocus Pocus and of course E.T.{a tradition started at my Grandma Audrey's when we were young}.. I would suggest this. 

I absolutely LOVE it. 

sorry this was a very long post. I need to post more often so it's less long. 

If I don't get the chance to say it and the day passes..

happy halloween!!
