I want to remember...
--how 3 people came to help us scoop out our driveway today (thanks Edward, Ryan & Chance!).
--how the snow was piled as high as Natalee's shoulders when she went out.
--baking all day! And sending goodies to our friends and neighbors!
--how COLD our upstairs is being shut off. Reminds me of my childhood bedroom! Be brief up there and I even brought my clothes down this morning to dress!
--being grateful for electricity that's stayed on (HEAT!).
--hearing from my mom last night that my dad's truck blew into a drift on his way home from work and he walked 1 1/2-2 miles home on our country road. SCARY.
--hearing from dad that the wind was so strong while he was walking home that it blew him across the road. SCARIER!
--the Facebook stories of people helping people. That's God's idea of a good community, I'm certain!
--the whole town being shut down...so strange. Mike broke his shovel and the Lumberyard was closed so there was no replacement to be found.
--sleeping on air mattresses at least through tonight.
--the school calling early this afternoon to tell us we were closed until Monday. Wow!
--seeing all the pictures of drifts and snowed in cars & buildings (mine are coming).
--bundling Natalee up to play out for a few minutes & go deliver cookies. Keeping Xabe in and hearing him say "ma ma ma" for the first time!
What things do YOU not want to forget?

That we are out of school until MONDAY!!!! That is 4 1/2 snow days in 1 week!
It was so weird to be snowed in at school. I'm used to having no outside contact with the world when I'm snowed in at home...here I had a houseful of friends. And when I went to the cafe to eat EVERYONE was there (probably because there was nothing else to do but eat :) ) but it kind of felt like we were all a family...a nice feeling :)
