Up To Our Armpits In...

So, it's been a minute since we've been on here and wrote anything so I felt that it was high time for it. Originally wanted to get an update on here at least once a week, but with the craziness of last week and now this week with Jack Frost coming at us with an ax and slaughtering Portland with snow...that leads to WHY we should be writing...what else are we gonna be doing??

So if you haven't gotten the word, we're snowed in and Amanda's car is now stuck in the snow as of 2 days ago. I mean, seriously, some snow needs to start melting :)
Amanda's work place has been closed the past 2 days and I don't have work at the moment. I am only allowed to work while I'm in school and last week was fall finals for me and my next semester starts up January 12th. So until the 12th, I'm the stay-at-home dog mom. Not like I have a choice at the moment or not though. But, no worries about my car cause I only take public trans. Paying all that $$ for parking isn't that fun, really.
But yesterday, due to some cabin fever and extreme boredom, we did venture out into Portland, via public trans and some foot action, to meet up with a friend, but boy! are we sore from it all today. Walking through 1-2 feet of snow (depending on the area) is truly a work-out. It took us 3, yes, 3 hours to get just across the bridge to the East side of Portland, but only about 1 and a half to get back across and back home. Not sure why, but I'm sure it has something to do with more people being on the streets earlier on. 
So here's some pics and videoes from the past couple days for your enjoyment :)
