Superbowl Snowday







Saturday evening Ryan and I went to the church to set up the chairs in the Primary room. The bishop happened to be there at the same time when he got the call...church had been cancelled. Wha-Huh? Does that happen? We had gotten a lot of snow that evening and it was supposed to be coming down all night not to mention the winds. So bishop put a sign on the door and started the phone tree. Ryan and I went around to a few of the neighbors and let them know that church had been canceled for the superbowl. (No, they didn't buy it either). We ended up at the grocery store at 10:00 p.m. to stock up on some goodies and saw about half the ward there. They were all doing the "happy dance". Snowed in, food and football. I was just thankful for being able to sleep in (I had a scheduled 7:30 a.m. appointment). Sunday morning, Ryan shoveled our driveway and a couple of neighbors as well (counts as service, right?) which turned into building this 12-foot (alien)snowman with the kids, which led to spraying him with food coloring so he could be seen. It was still snowing that morning but it was so warm it made perfect packing snow. Jeffery came over to take a look (his stake was canceled as well) and ended up 4-wheelin' the kids' motorcycle.
