A Flyer win...and loss

Brr. I don't know how weather can be this consistent, but every year we've been in town, there's been a snowstorm (normally a big one) the week of Valentine's Day. This year looks like it will be no exception -- we're -10 with 50 mile gusts tonight, and we're expected to get 3-6 inches on Tuesday. Great.

Wednesday night turned out to be full of unexpected fun. We each were invited to the Flyers game (unbeknownst to the other), so we ended up with more basketball tickets than we knew what to do with! The game was great, and the Flyers pulled out a win in the last 2 minutes. Phew. Unfortunately, they weren't as lucky on Saturday when they lost on the road to a team who had been 1-7. Ugh.

While the work week had its stressful moments, it ended on a high note as Kim's office went bowling after work on Friday. It was a lot of fun to chat and relax with everyone -- plus eat pizza and bowl two games!

Our weekend was a hodgepodge of activity. We waited around all morning for a contractor to stop by and measure for our new carpet. Of course, he was scheduled to be here between 8-1...and, you guessed it, he showed up at 12:45. After he left, we hopped in the car to try to make it to cousin Kyle's regional basketball tournament game. As we pulled in the parking lot, we saw Aunt Sue running out to get their van -- Kyle chipped his thumb during the tip off! So, we followed them to Urgent Care and chatted while Kyle got fixed up.
