Snow Day

Monday night we went to sleep cautiously anticipating the potential of waking up to falling snow. School had been cancelled that night so I was especially excited to get an extra day off to enjoy the day. Because of the nature of Brad's job I knew to expect an early morning phone call, but I was not prepared to be awoken at 3:30 by the YMCA's landscaper wanting the go-ahead to salt the parking lot! Then as we were almost back asleep the calls began again as the decision was being made on whether to open at 5:30, delay, or close for the day. It hadn't been a great nights sleep for me anyway so about 4:45 I got up and we watched the news coverage. At about 5:30, after deciding to delay opening, Brad learned that there were already some guys there playing basketball. He felt it was best to go in and handle the situation himself.

He returned home about 7:00 and we, being very hungry by now, decided to take our chances and head to IHOP in hopes to get a hot breakfast. Luckily they were open and there was 1 other customer eating so we went in and enjoyed a great breakfast. After a quick trip to Target we headed back home and after learning that the Y was closed enjoyed a relaxing day together watching the Inauguration, playing a little Wii and catching up on some much needed sleep.
Thank you Lord for the beauty of Your creation and a snow day!
