AGAIN... really?

I'm shocked. The snowy and icy weather continued all week, so church was cancelled again. Something about it being dangerous to drive in 6 inches of snow topped off with an inch of frozen rain. Perhaps it really is an Arctic Blast. It has been strange being stuck at home most of the week. Friday I was pretty desperate to get out of the house and get some exercise, so I went for a walk and returned two and a half miles later really cold and wet. It felt good though. Then last night Eric and I played in the snow. First we made snow angels, then we took turns riding down our street in a garbage bag. If you have never tried it before, they make great sleds--inexpensive and really easy to carry back to the top of the hill! (But be sure to get the heavy duty kind.) ;) While sledding, we had some neighbors come by on skis. Later on the news we saw other people skiing down Madison Street in Oregon City. Now how often can a person do that!? Pretty cool.

wow wow wow. it has never snowed like that there in my life. might as well enjoy it while it lasts! it may never happen again!

p.s. thanks for picking me up from the airport. sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up again while i was there. between the snow and your schedule and my schedule it just didn't work out i guess. but i wish i could have seen more of you!
