Snow Day!!!
Never in my life have I had a snow day. As a kid I remember thinking how great it would be to have a snow day, a day to stay home and play in the snow. Of course it would be with my cousin Shayna and we would for sure have made snow forts and snowmen, and had a snowball fight or two and hopefully been able to coax one of our dads into tying the sleds onto the back of their truck to take us sledding. Unfortunately that day never happened in my younger years. However, now that I'm on the teacher/mom side of things, I actually had a "Snow Day".
It all started on Monday, December 20th. It started to snow that morning and it kept snowing, and snowing, and snowing!! Now I wasn't to worried about the snow except for the fact that my dear husband was driving home from Missouri in this lovely storm. Not only was he driving in the storm he was in a semi truck without a trailer. I'm not very semi savvy but I have heard that not having a trailer in this type of weather is not a good thing. I was expecting my ove home around 10pm, but 10pm rolled around and he still wasn't home and of course his phone was dead. I stayed up late waiting for him and wrapping presents for my dear kiddos at school and getting ready for our Polar Express party the next day. When I was finally done with all of the prep work for the next day Brian still wasn't home. I was trying very hard not to be nervous about him traveling in the storm, it's now 1am and it honestly was still snowing!
Around 5am on Tuesday the 21st my Love rolled in from his long journey to visit med. schools and to drop of the semi trailer my father-in-law had sold on Ebay. When Brian came in from many hours of driving he told me of his adventurous ride home. They did end up jack-knifing and sliding off the road, in Spanish Fork!!! 5 blocks from home!!! They made it through Wyoming and Parley's Canyon and the place they slide off is Spanish Fork!?
Well, around 8 that morning I was woke by a text on my phone (yes I slept in extremely late due to going to bed at 1 and being woke up at 5 and then chatting for a bit) saying school is canceled. What? School canceled? NO!!! I rushed downstairs and got online and sure enough it was canceled!!! Yay, a Snow Day!!!
Well with a day off school and it being only a few days before Christmas what better thing to do than go to my sister's and get my hair cut, so that's what I did. I got my hair done and Bentley got to build a snowman with Kaulin and Sadie and have a snowball fight with Uncle Cory. What a day!
