Its 6am, I can just barely hear Chad getting ready for work and coming in to kiss me goodbye, then I quickly fall back to sleep.
Aw crap. Chad is taking a shower! I asked him to wake me up before I take a shower! Its SOOOO loud... wait a minute..... Chad went to work..... THAT'S RIGHT! MY PARENTS ARE HERE!
Today is a special day - AJ is going to teach me to make pie crust - something I have been wanting for years. And my Dad, well, he's going to go run some errands - for me, of course :)
I can now make an amazing pie crust! (Thanksgiving will soon prove this even further) And while Dad was gone he bought Chad and Me a new room heater! I'm pretty sure we almost froze him and AJ out of the house while they were here.
When we woke up. When my parents left.
It started out pretty light, almost pretty, if you like that kind of thing. It was so light though that Dad ran those errands in the Toyota hybrid - so no big thing. By the time he came home, it was getting thicker, but still no worries - but its time to bring out Da Pinky (my Jeep). Then after a quick trip to the mall for a walk and some lunch, then a scavenger hunt at Barns & Noble, we were happy we were in a 4x4. THEN just a short 30 minutes later - off to buy CHAINS! Never sticks.... right.....
It starts to get pretty scary. We live at the top of a hill, but in a low spot on it, so we are surrounded by hills.... kinda weird I understand, but at this point even more inconvenient. The snow and ice cover gets so bad that the decision is made - the parents are leaving early. They have to catch a flight the next day. Sucks cause Chad was just getting off work (and really early at that) and later that evening we were all going to go to Seattle to have dinner with my visiting cousin.... see! SEE! Snow = no good.
So they leave. My wonderful surprise officially over. And luckily they make it to the airport.... 4 1/2 hours later.... for a drive that should take about an hour....
Chad showed up soon after they leave. He happens to like the snow... heck he chose to live in it before this! Crazy... We decided since its about 4 inches thick we should see if the pets are on my side or his. Come to find out Milli LOVES THE SNOW! She was SO cute - she would find a mound and bite it. When Chad came in with some stuck to his boots, she'd follow him around a eat it! Joule on the other hand, I doubt he's ever thought we were so annoying....
We thew him into the perfectly smooth snow... he just stood there....
Then we let Milli out... and she either
ate or stepped on ever square inch of the smooth prettiness...
Remember these happy faces. Trust me.
Flicker. Flicker. Then..... silence.
The power is out.
And it doesn't come back on......
To be continued....
See!! I told you you needed some cute snow boots! Can't wait to see how this story ends :)
