A REAL snow day!

Yesterday I blogged about the not so snow filled "snow day" when school was cancelled but not for teachers. Well, guess what?? Last night, I got the call that today would be a FOR REAL snow day! Yay! And, today was Brian's day off so all three of us got to stay home and hang out together. Oh, guess what y'all? Last night Brian came home from work with this:














Seriously! Isn't that awesome? Haha! We had leftovers for lunch too! They had a deal: 2 pizzas with crazy bread and sauce for $10.00. Brian said apparently the greater Clemmons area must have read my blog cuz there was a 30 minute wait for pizza! Anyways, he was kind and patient to wait and bring it home to us.





Oh, and look what came in the mail yesterday too? Isabel LOVES getting packages and letters in the mail more than anything. I recently ordered this shirt for her and one for me from Erica's blog. They need to sell 100 shirts to help bring their daughter, Zahra, home. She is doing a giveaway now on her site too so go check it out. They need to sell 55 more shirts. Isn't it cute? She wanted to put it on as soon as she ripped it out of the bag and of course she wanted her squirrel to be in the picture too. :)

Also, last night we watched the movie "Black Gold" for the first time. I had heard that it was really good but wow, it opens up your eyes. It's about the coffee industry and its effect on coffee farmers in Ethiopia. I seriously want to only buy fair trade coffee now. I was all about it before but now that I've seen in the film how it can truly benefit families and villages, I want to seek it out. I'm thankful that we found out about JustLoveCoffee Roasters too. I love that they are passionate about adoption AND Ethiopia AND supporting coffee farmers. And, they are helping us with fundraising too. I know I've sent our link out before but I thought I'd share it again if you watch "Black Gold" and want to find some fair trade coffee.

Here it is: http://justlovecoffee.com/TheHunts

The movie also has some AMAZING views of Ethiopia and life there in the capital and in the southern region of Oromia. Check out the trailer. We got it through Netflix.




Alright I hope you all have a great night! We have ANOTHER snow day tomorrow. I'm not a big fan of going to school till late June but honestly, I love snow days! Tomorrow I'll post some pics of Brian and Isabel's sledding adventures.
