WHAT AN ADVENTURE!!

Okay, so I did get that phone call last night... You know, the very nice one from the director of schools telling you that you don't have to go to school the next day?  Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about...

Anyway, I woke up about 5:30 this morning and looked outside and there was NOTHING!  I was kind of disappointed because there was no snow, but also kind of glad that there was no ice... I went back to sleep.

I woke up again about 10am, and looked outside and there were about 4 inches of snow and huge snowflakes were coming down. :) I immediately started trying to find people to go play in the snow with.  Some people were losers and didn't want to go play, but Casey and Kristina were all about going to play, so I drove over to their house... My very first experience with driving in the snow!  It really wasn't too bad.

So we went out and made snow angels, threw snowballs, went sledding, and all of the fun things associated with a snow day.  We came back in and while Casey was making hot chocolate, Kristina and I made snow cream! :)  Then Kristina's sister Jennifer had the brilliant idea to mix hot chocolate powder in with the snow cream... AMAZING!!! :)  We enjoyed our snacks while watching Man in the Iron Mask, and then Casey suggested that we order pizza.  I wanted to get home before the roads got slick tonight, so I decided that I'd leave to come home when they left to get their pizza.

Should've left earlier!  We waited until about 10 minutes before their pizza would be done to try to leave, and after about THIRTY FIVE MINUTES of trying to get me unstuck so that they could get out, we gave up.  I texted one of my friends whining about being stuck, but I never thought that he would volunteer to come get me so I could go get the pizza!  That in and of itself was kind of an adventure! lol  On the way there and back he was saying that he thought I'd make it home just fine if he could get my car out of the driveway... so when we got back, he tried to get my car out.  It took him maybe 3 minutes!  I was actually kind of disgusted with myself! :-/  (He is a yankee that grew up driving in this stuff though...)

Anyway, then he followed me home, and he talked me through almost the entire 30 minute drive (it usually takes about 10 minutes)...  I would just like to take this opportunity to point out that I HAVE AMAZING FRIENDS!!!

Okay, so I made it all the way to my driveway and got stuck when I pulled in! lol  So I broke out the shovel that Poppa got me forever ago that I had never used, and proceeded to shovel my driveway so that I could make it into my garage.

So yeah... I'm not leaving my house tomorrow unless someone comes to get me!  I think I'm about to make soup or something warm, clean my house, take a shower, and go to bed!  :-D

WHAT A DAY!!!
