“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”(Carl Reiner)

Best school week ever!

…well, besides Spring Break and Christmas break! We had a massive storm hit this week with a blizzard. We had an early dismissal on Tuesday, no school on Wednesday, and a delayed start Thursday. It was heaven! I have a new appreciation for snow storms and the joys they bring (more sleep, cancellations, etc). However, driving the next day as well as the shoveling can be a nightmare. I think we helped about 4 cars who were stuck in the snow.

Secret Service

A big family secretly came (they didn’t know we were peeking out of our window) and shoveled our driveway! It was such a sweet and wonderful surprise. I will include a picture of what they left on our doorstep.

Bob

Work for Bob was cancelled on Wednesday because of the storm. He also had a bad cold and ended up staying home the next 2 days really sick. Saturday he went in to the walk-in clinic for a sinus infection. Man- we just can’t get a break!

Building an igloo

Alayna got to go over to the Alands yesterday to help them build their snowfort/igloo. Chad was so sweet to go out with all the kids and spend the afternoon building a kick-butt snow fort! Alayna had so much fun! When they were done, all 7 kids and Chad had hot chocolate in their fort. Pretty cool!

Odds and ends

I finished my 2010 blog book! It was huge. I will take a picture as soon as it arrives.

Marisa is asking someone to WPA today- I will let you know how it goes.

Can you believe Thursday will be the 18th anniversary of the day Bob asked me to marry him? Best decision I ever made!

One of our ward members had a heart attack during church today. Ambulance and fire trucks arrived. Made for an eventful testimony meeting.

So glad you finally got a break. Sorry Bob, that you've been sick.
No matter how "cool" an igloo looks, I really don't see how anyone ever survives living in one. That's ALOT of snow.
