An Icy Winter Blast

"Baby it's COLD Outside!"
MaKieley and John have been singing that song all weekend! Just to give you a taste as to how things are outside our house, check out these pictures! The icy rain started Friday night and made EVERYTHING VERY slick by Saturday morning! John was supposed to go into work but after some quick talking from MaKieley and I, watching a driver almost take out our mail box and (John) falling on the ice he changed his mind. He worked from home instead!
When we woke up this morning things did not seem any better! At the bottom of the TV screen we could see all the church cancellations and the weathermen were warning against any travel! Our chuch however was the only one not cancelled - "Meeting as Scheduled" was under our church's name on the bottom of the screen! Since my mother, fractured hip and all, had decided to go we thought we should be there to help her if she needed us (which of course she didn't). So out went John (by himself) to drive the car around the block to see exactly how the roads were. Surprisingly they were not bad at all! So we all dressed and got in the car and went to church! The roads were fine until we got to the building! The road the church is on was icy and the parking lots were like an ice skating rink! But we had made it! We worshiped and then went to Mom and Dad's for lunch. We made our way home after lunce and found the loop was dry!
Thank you God for keeping us safe!
