Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow????

Mixed blessing. That is what snow is. We NEED the snow for water and to give us the Christmas Spirit but...
This morning at about 6:30 AM BJ called me...she had pulled over to clean the blades of her wipers to better see, and had gotten stuck in the snow on the way to work....
Yesterday, I was droping off some Christmas goodies to the Kirks (they live on a corner). When I do that, I usually just stop the car in front of the house so I don't have to back out to leave...but without really thinking about it, I pulled into the driveway. I had just got out of my car and there was a teenage driver who had just come around the snowpacked road corner...out of control and slid sideways into where I had just pulled in, and where I would have parked if I had opted to park on the street. So my new car missed being in an accident by about 4 seconds.
Staying inside to watch the snow fall is looking like a better option all the time!

So Buffy how late were you for work?

It was absolutely insane! It took me 2 1/2 hours to get to work this morning and I was an hour late!!!! about 45 min of that was just from getting off the 215 freeway to the 3 or 4 miles to work... I never want to do that again. I've decided that on snowy days, I'm going to take Trax up... it'll take me probably just as long and I won't have to have a heart attack every time some starts sliding towards me. I was really lucky this morning that 2 different guys decided to be saints and help me out of where I was stuck.

Ug! I don't miss the snow at all! I am not a fan of driving in the stuff....way too many bad experiences. I just hope roads are good in a week and a half

I almost got hit on Monday... The right front corner of a BYU student's car came about 6 inches from hitting me. It would have hit me, had the left front corner of their car not hit another car.

It is really pretty when you look at it from inside the warm cozy house. We got at least 9 inches down here. And it was still snowing yesterday. Gotta love snow-packed roads...

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
