The white stuff is here! Normally I would be very excited for a white Christmas but I am not sure that I am going to be that excited this year! I think once I start listening to the beautiful music and start seeing more of those wonderful Christmas lights appear maybe I will get more excited. I am just getting "Cabin Fever" I guess you could say. It is so dark here in the winter and I am sure missing those beautiful sunsets from home. We have about a foot or so that I get to tromp through anytime I go to the truck, boy am I missing a nice enclosed garage, any type of garage is better than no garage at all.
Yesterday on my way to church the truck vapor locked, I was a 1/2 hour late for church, and ended up sitting in the foyer the whole time, the only perk was that I got to see Sister Baker. She too has just arrived in Fairbanks. Seeing a familiar face yesterday was what I needed to bring me back down to warm and cozy. On my way home yesterday after Brandon had fixed the truck and traded me for the escape, the escape decided to die on me, I guess sitting with it idling with the lights on was not the smartest thing I could have done but it just wasn't what I needed, thank heavens Brandon was able to come and safe me yet again.
One lesson learned yesterday for sure was that I need my snow gear with me where ever it is I go. You never know when you are going to get stuck on the side of the road in below zero temperatures. I definitely got the I told you so from Brandon on that one. But I have to say I am SOOOOOOO grateful for him and his williness to come and safe me when I am needing to be saved. I guess it could have been worse, I could have been in the ditch again and then I would have been really stuck. Oh how I love the snow!
Now that the snow has fallen, you know it hasn't dumped it all yet, I just need to get into that wonderful winter spirit. Bundle up my friends I hear it is going to be a cold one tonight!!
