Snow Storm

Well......this morning was the first time I have been out of my house since Thursday afternoon. I came to work Thursday morning after it had snowed on Wednesday. When I left home, I had to travel north in order to travel back again south. During my trip to town, I was thinking that I would be lucky if I made it back home again Thursday after getting off work. After a quick "business" meeting with my partner later in the day, we decided that we should close early Thursday and all day Friday. We left the daycare at 1:00 to head home. Needless to say, I think I got home as late as I possibly could and still make it to the house. Our road was drifted full! We spent the rest of the day Thursday and all day Friday at home together. Both nights we played Phase 10. Let me just say that Marshall Farrell is probably going to be a card shark! He LOVES that game! We had so much fun playing together!

We didn't see the road grader go by until Friday during the night! On Saturday, Maggie and Marshall both had basketball practice in Gallatin. But, because it was so cold, only Greg got out to take them. Their practices were two hours apart, so they each went separately and Greg came back to pick Maggie up when he brought Marshall home. We spent the rest of the day at home! How cozy!

Sunday morning, we had planned to get out and go to church. However, the thought of braving the bitter cold (though it wasn't as bitter as it had been) just didn't sit well, so we ended up staying home again all day. Morgan had two ballgames (one makeup and one regularly scheduled) in St. Joseph and since they were in the evening, only he and Greg went. Maggie, Marshall, and I stayed at home!

This morning when I came to work, I was amazed at how much snow there is! The state highway coming to town is virtually one lane because the west lane is filled with drifts! When this snow begins to melt, we are going to have one big sloppy mess!

I do have Christmas pictures to post, but our internet connection at home is slow so I keep putting it off! I will get to it sometime!!! ;)
