{spring break 2010}

we started off with a bang. or, i guess i should say a blizzard.

the last few days were a blur anyway. and, i didn't watch garrett. when they were mentioning the weather at a wedding on saturday, i didn't pay too much attention. they talked about a dusting to possibly two inches which typically equates to zilch for us.

for months, i had been looking forward to hearing a speaker that would be at church sunday morning. i hoped out of bed and put my eggo into the toaster. about 45 seconds later, no power. hmmmm.....i looked outside the window. UNBELIEVABLE! we called my in-laws as i was still determined to make it to church (they did have electricity) but, no cars were out on the highway in front of their house. scott grounded me. i have a history with driving and snow. not a good one.

i was soooooooo disappointed! but, when i opened my front door and saw this....it didn't last too incredibly long. amazing. hadn't it just been 70 degrees two days prior?






























the boys barely survived the approximate 13 hours without electricity. they would have never made it in the frontier days. ever. we bundled up, sat by our fire, played lots of games and cards. it was perfect for me. scott had a horrendous headache - likely from the weather.
and, today, we woke up to sunshine! it's a muddy, muddy mess out there. and, thankfully the boys are wanting to do a little of nothing this week - they actually want to be home. we will see how long that lasts! :)
think i'm ready to look at condos for vacation!
