Hopefully next week I'll have an update for you on what the doctor says at Randy's appointment Friday! But until then... Enjoy hearing about what I did last weekend!
As you may already know, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Otherwise known as LDS or Mormon. This past weekend was my brothers missionary farewell! For those who do not know young men in our church ages 18-25 serve 2 year missions for our church. They are not forced to go but have the choice. My brother had chosen to serve and so he got to speak in church on Sunday! I already have one brother already out on his mission. (They're twins) He is serving in San Jose, California and the brother who's farewell was this past Sunday will be serving in Toronto, Canada!
When I got to my parents house after driving for 4 hours! I knew that I needed to find out what he wanted his musical number to be, at least officially. He had told me what song he wanted and if no one could sing he told me to prepare a piano solo (I don't sing in front of people unless in a group.) so when I got there I hoped he'd found someone to sing. Unfortunately he had not asked anyone but my sister who is 9 months pregnant and can't sing due to not having enough air and also needing to pee every time she stands ;) So it was up to me to play my piano solo.
I get super nervous being in front of a group of people. It's worse if I'm the one speaking, better if I'm playing the piano, and even better if I'm playing the piano while someone is singing. So let's just say their were a few small mistakes when the time came to play :/ but it sounded great to everyone as I was told :)
My brother's talk was good, super short, but good. He spoke about repentance and how as missionaries they are being sent out to teach repentance. After church we ate a nice big dinner! He got to pick what we had so it was elk and deer steaks with a baked potato bar! Yum!
I headed home after we finished eating. There was a huge storm headed for Wyoming and I wanted to beat it home!
That storm had predictions for 8-10 inches in the lower elevations and 12-18 in the higher elevations. I live in the lower but did not want to drive alone in a snowstorm if I didn't have to.
The storm hit Monday evening. And it was a blizzard from the get go. I just drove across town and it was like Star Wars with how big the flakes were!! And how swiftly they were falling. I went across town to meet Randy at his work. But when I went to turn into the parking lot, I got stuck! I was turned sideways in the middle of oncoming traffic!! So thinking quickly, I turned my wheels and spun a half cookie so I was going with the oncoming traffic and got myself unstuck! I used a different entrance to get into the parking lot. Needless to say, we left my car there overnight!
By this morning, instead of the 8-10 inches predicted we had probably close to 16 inches of snow! It came up to my knees. I went with Randy and we dug my car out from where we'd left it. The drifts around it came up to my hips! I got it home safely though and don't plan on going anywhere tonight lol.
I realize that this is kinda short and to the point! And that there are not any pictures! I am sorry about that! I'm also sorry I missed posting Thursday! So since I missed Thursday I will be posting 3 times this week. Today, tomorrow, and Thursday this week! I will post next Tuesday but as Christmas is next week, I will not post the Thursday before Christmas. Then we'll be back to our regular schedule hopefully! (P.S. How many times do you think I can say Thursday? Lol)
Til next time!
