This past weekend we finally had some snow at our house!  I know you folks up north or out west are probably thinking 'who cares?'.  On average the Raleigh area receives about 6 inches of snow a year and the last few years we haven't received but maybe 2-3 inches.  So when we get snow, us North Carolinian's get all giddy!  and then everyone freaks out and pretty much the entire city shuts down.  over dramatic, yes.

Another one of our entertaining conversations:

Joe: Are you going duck hunting?
Amanda: No, why?
Joe: You are wearing duck hunting boots.
Amanda: No, these are wellies and they are fashionable.
Joe: No, they are duck hunting boots.
Amanda: No, they are awesome.

later the next day...

Amanda:  I know what I want to do.  I want to be a National Geographic Photographer.
Joe: Really?
Amanda: Yea, so I can do this (showed images below)...  okay, just kidding that's pretty scary.
Joe: Well you have the boots for it.  hahahaha

  3. If it makes Joe feel any better, Jason saw your boots and said "When did chicken factory-worker boots become in fashion?"

  15. Love this!!! Your outfit is so cute and I love your wellie socks!! I've been looking for some but can't seem to make a decision on color. I want them ALL!

    (Everyone makes fun of me for wearing my Hunters too... you're not alone. Just yesterday, when rain was in the forecast, my guy friends asked me if I was planning to go mudding. Boys.)

  16. Concentrating on your hunt can be difficult when you can't stop thinking about how hot, wet, cold, or sore your feet are. Unlike with your hunting .. Sylvester Miller
