(Updated: I finally found time to get my pictures uploaded...we are too busy)
This past week it snowed on us TWICE, once on Tuesday and then again on Thursday. The craziest part is that when it started snowing on Thursday it got bad FAST! Around 1:00, I called Dustin to tell him to look outside because the snow was falling big Colorado flakes. By 1:30 our school was announcing that we were having an early release at 2:00. By 2:00 the school was almost completely empty and Dustin was picking me up. Our 15 min. drive from my work to home ended up taking us 1 hour and 45 minutes to get home. There are a lot of curves and hills between our house and work. Everyone was fish-tailing, spinning out, and not getting enough traction to make it up the hills. Finally, when we were about 1.5 miles from the house we got to our last main hill and there was 7-8 cars stuck...either in the ditch or in the middle of the road blocking us all. Dustin pulled our car into an empty house's driveway and WALKED to our house to get our 4x4 Jeep. After sitting there for 10 minutes I called to see how he was doing. I called him at least 10 times and he never answered. I started getting a little concerned and being that I'm pregnant...I had to go to the bathroom so bad. Anyway, after sitting there about 20 minutes, he called to say that he was at the bottom of the hill with the Jeep. There were several cars still blocking the street so he walked up to get me and we made it back down to the Jeep, which by the way is the best car ever because it weaved in and out of all of that junk with no problem. Come to find out, Dustin had been trying to call me too but the lines must have been full or connection was bad. Anyway, we didn't have work on Friday so we enjoyed staying home snuggled up by the fire. By Friday afternoon, the roads were all clear and we pick Dustin's car up. I was glad to see that no one hit it while it was sitting there.
Well, let me catch up on a few other things that have been going on......
For Valentine's Day, Dustin gave me a little jewelry looking box that had a pink collar and little name tag that said, "Runtly", on it. It's official!!! For all of you that have kept up with our puppy drama, you know how special Runtly is to me. She's the best Valentine's gift, EVER!!
Also, last weekend, Dustin and I went to see his parent's in Jacksonville and I got to stop by and see Hannah (college friend) in Tyler. It was so good to see her. She was able to help me out with a few questions I had about certain 'mother-to-be' things. She is expecting a little girl, Parker, in May.
Well, I have another doctor's appointment in a little over a week. Be praying that Preston starts to turn southward because at this moment he is still laying sidewards (head in my right side ribs and bottom in my lower left side). Also, I am starting to get to that uncomfortable stage. I'm going to the bathroom several times a night, my ribs are killing me, my feet hurt if I have to walk/stand very long, and I'm just not comfortable. Thanks for your prayers!!
