But God Remembered...

Minnesota was dumped on with snow right before we moved here last month with one of their snowiest months on record.  I really wanted Matt to experience a good snow- even a blizzard before the winter was over.  I hoped it would come on a weekend so we could stay in and and watch it out the window, all snuggled up with hot cocoa.  A romantic snow-in so to say.  Last week we had some really nice days, with temps in the 50's even, so I was ready for spring.  But God remembered that I had wanted a blizzard...

Today my family planned to celebrate my sister Jamie's 40th birthday.  The snow started this morning while we were in church around 10 and by the time we left for Regan's house in the afternoon it had been snowing a few hours and the roads were a disaster.  We passed many cars in the ditch along the freeway on the way there and thanked God we were not one of them.  We had a wonderful time at Regan's with the family, all the while the beautiful snow was falling.   By the time we left  about a foot of snow had fallen.  We wondered if we were going to make it home the 16 miles we had to drive.  We didn't know how the Element would handle it.  We treaded slowly home.  The freeway had been plowed but all the other roads we drove on were not.  We saw many cars in the ditch again.  Amazingly we were able to make it down our road and into our driveway.  About three quarters of the way up our driveway Matt proudly proclaimed, "the Element will not be mocked!" And right then we got stuck in our driveway, about 15 feet away from being inside our garage!  We had to get out and shovel the remainder of the driveway so we could get our car in the garage.  And the snow is still falling...
