We're leaving on a Jet plane...

Not really on a jet plane...but my dads car drives just as fast. Thanks dad for letting me borrow your car! We leave tomorrow and head for Las Vegas and then on to California. Yeah, we are ready to reunite with Jared. This morning I received a phone call encouraging me to “beat the storm!” It was blue sky and no sign of a storm. I was mostly packed and ready to go…so about two hours of tiding up and packing down in the basement I was ready. I walked upstairs and it was a blizzard. I just had to laugh because I was set to get in front of this supposed storm. But here it was. After making a foolish decision to go I headed for the freeway. I got on, and I realized it was a ridiculous joke. The roads were covered in snow, the visibility was very limited. There were at least ten cars slid off the freeway. I just laughed out loud, and then said to Alayna, “This is silly, we are turning back a round to go home.” This sweet little girl, who was wearing a birthday hat on her head, so excited to see her daddy, just burst into tears sobbing. After a few minutes of her saying, “I just want to see my Daddy!” I was able to have her look out her window to see the storm. She said, so willingly, “Okay, Mommy we can go tomorrow.” I told her I would let her have a fun day today as if we were on vacation. She did just that. I think she watched three cartoons. She was in heaven. As for me, I was able to return home, clean my house and fridge! It feels great to be leaving a clean house and in an extremely less stressful situation. Wish us luck! Or better yet pray for us to arrive safely. We will see you in about 3 weeks.
