Andy and I went to Iowa last weekend to visit friends. We left Saturday evening after Andy got off work and were planning on coming back Monday evening because that was all he had off from work. Well...Sunday night we began hearing of a massive winter storm that was moving through the Midwest. Major ice and snow was supposed to hit the St. Louis area and all the way up through Illinois along the highway we had to take to get home. And on top of that, a major blizzard was supposed to hit the area we were in in Iowa. Sigh..... So we made the decision to stay until we were sure it was safe to drive home.
The heavy snow started Tuesday afternoon and didn't stop!!!! We woke up Wednesday morning to two feet of snow!!! It was crazy! Growing up in the Northwest, I've never seen that much snow before! Of course we weren't going anywhere that day. Even church was canceled because no one could get out of their driveways! We decided that we needed to try to get home Thursday so Andy could get back to work. Thankfully they had the roads pretty clear by then so we made it home with no problems.
We had a great time with our friends but it was nice get home. Unfortunately I woke up Friday very sick. I've been in bed the last three days with strep throat. Ugh!!! I hate being sick. Especially when my husband has to work. He takes such good care of me when I'm sick! But he had to work so I've nursing myself back to health.
I've always like winter. I love sweaters, scarves, and boots and all the winter fashions, but at this point, I'm SO over all this snow. Just when you think it's all about to melt, it dumps another six inches! Now I'm not ready for the heat and humidity of summer, but I'm definitely ready for spring! Tshirts and flip flops! Oh yea! No more winter for me!! :)

THank you so much for commenting on my post about my relationship with Jason not being like the courtship books. YOu have no idea how much of a blessing and encouragement it was to read for me today! Also, how you said marraige is just wonderful or fun i am not sure which word. That is an encouragement too! So many people are all like it is horrid and blah blah blah which i don't believe it has to be and it is nice to have someone confirm that!
Blessings :)

Oh wow what an encouragement to hear that! :) That is so nice to hear from a "real person" you know?
Also it is so true how important it is to know someone before marraige and that is something I am so thankful that my fiancee and I have. You are so right there is nothing better then being with your best friend the rest of your life! You have definitely helped me not be quite as nervous about married life :) Not like I have been dreading it but sometimes those negative remarks just kinda stick you know?
Blessings :)
