self-imposed snow day

Today I stayed home, as the roads still weren't really clear and I was quite shaken up from yesterday. I'm glad I did. I was able to get alot of housework completed, in addition to getting the office organized (which will have to be a story for tomorrow).

The stories emerging are very interesting - a 7hour commute home is fairly normal, while many had up to 13 hours home. I'm very grateful for God's protection! Even in little ways - like a full gas tank, a day where I drank very little water, so bladder issues weren't in the fore-front of my mind, and a cell phone that never lost reception and had power the whole drive home! Jon would call every half hour or so, and that kept me very very sane. So all in all, all is well. We have power, so feel very blessed just in that aspect.

For giggles, here are some pictures of around our apartment!

This is the view outside our back window. Quite picturesque actually!



And here is Jon's car covered in snow! He VERY KINDLY shoveled out a spot for me to come home too! He also inadvertently shoveled another spot out as well, and it turns out a mom with a few kids, who had also been in the car for 7+ hours, turned up a few minutes later, very grateful for the spot! God works in interesting ways....


One of my favorite views, Jon, hard at work, who gracefully put up with my chatter all day :o)
That's all! Thanks for reading!
