SNOW-TASTIC

Okay so this is Jonathan, Jennifer's super lucky husband. Please bear with me while I tell you about our awsome day yesterday with Gracie and her first BIG snow. The story has to begin with Sunday night as a white wall ripped through the foothills of North Carolina bringing with it sleet, snow, a estatic Gracie and Jennifer and a fretting Jonathan. When we woke up at 5:40 to get Jennifer to her first day at her new job there was at least 6 inches of snow on the ground and at least 1.5 inches of ice underneath that. We watched and prayed to see if her doctors office was going to close down that day but no luck there so I braved the morning cold to start by Geekmobile to take her to work. I spent 20 min getting the car ready to warming it up, scraping the windows at all that mess. So all that work is done and I start to back out of the driveway and my car slides off the driveway and gets stuck!!! :( I was beyond frustrated but I wanted to get my beautiful wife to work so I turn the Geekmobile off and get her keys to the Equinnox and begin the process agian. We FINALLY get on the road and we head twoard her work, after stopping to get gas and get Jennifer some breakfast (Gotta feed Jericho) We drive the 40 min it takes to get her to work and guess what. The place is closed and since this is her first day she is not on the call list so she has no idea. She had to spend 15 minuets calling around just to find out if she is off that day. Oh well it was fun driving in the ice. So I take her to work with me for a minute and try to get her to let me buy a bunch of stuff (she said no) so on to home we go. On the way home the coolest thing happened we turned the radio to 95.5 and we start to listen to a preacher talk about the relationship between a husband and wife. He said one thing that really stuck out with me and I hope maybe you can think about it too. "When God created someone for Adam he did not creat 10 buddies to hang out with, he created on woman to be a help meet." Pretty cool huh! Why do some of us want to spend so much time wanting to hang out with our friends when the one person God created for us is at home wanting to be a part of our life?

Jennifer here, so yes. I got the option to go to one of our other offices or go home and call it a day and still get paid either way I choose.....So yes i choose to go home and enjoy my snow day with Gracie. Before hand when i still didn't know what was going on with work I got a call about 7:20am. A little girl had just woke up and seen the snow for the first time and she me and said ."Mommy there is snow outside, so much snow, can you come home and play outside with me.??" In such the sweetest voice and my heart was melting. We had a great day playing outside. Go out, come in side and get warm, then go back out...oh how she loved playing in the snow. She was not one bit scared. Jonathan hung out for a little while then he had to do a converance call and meet a guy to give keys so we had a fun morning at my mom's. We took the sleds , and memories were brought back for me. Took the sled put on top of a desent hill and down she went. She loved it. That evenening we played in our yard and made snow cream...Oh what a great day. Thank you Lord for this great time together with everyone. These are days that will stick out in my heart for days and years to come.
