I have to admit that it still took awhile for me to get used to. Growing up in Utah, I think I remember one Sunday when church was actually cancelled. The snowstorm had actually broken windows and the church building was becoming it's own winter wonderland. Otherwise, four feet of snow during the night just meant that all the men had to get up earlier than usual to shovel every one's driveways --no excuses, even if you weren't one of the lucky families who had friends with a snow blower on the block! Here, no one owns a snow blower, there are relatively few snow shovels, and the snowplows didn't even reach us until late in the evening. Hooray!Monday, January 26, 2009
Snowday!
We woke up on Sunday to the most enjoyable phone call ever -- church was cancelled due to the snowstorm we didn't even realize we'd had during the night! Is it wrong that we were blissfully happy about this fact? Instead of finalizing lessons, sharing times, kid's talks and throwing everyone into showers and begging them to get dressed, we did ....nothing! How's that for a day of rest?
