Can't Keep Up With the Weather

This February was a wild one.  The temperatures ranged from the 20's to the 80's.  One Sunday afternoon Ryan and I went for a nice stroll up to Mount Bonnell in short sleeves.


Later that same week we experienced snow. Typically in Texas if it snows, EVERYTHING shuts down because we aren't prepared for the elements.  However, early in the morning I got an email saying my office was still open.  So I grudgingly got ready and headed out to my car.  We live in a place that is on a BIG hill.  I thought to myself, I'm sure I'll be able to get down the hill, but getting up the hill with ice and snow is another thing.  Just as I had that thought, I watched a car struggling to get up the hill.  The person was hitting the gas pedal, their wheels were spinning, but their car wasn't moving.  Myself along with a few other spectators jumped behind the car and tried to push it up the hill.  I'm not sure how helpful I was with my wimpy arm muscles, but eventually the car made it.  After watching that car struggle I thought it would be best to stay home!  I was so excited.  I wanted Ryan to wake up right that second so we could go play in the snow.  (You would have thought it was the first time I had seen snow even though I lived in Utah for 4 years.)  Ryan could have cared less about the snow.  I couldn't get him to come outside and play with me.  He was more excited by the homemade french toast breakfast on a WEEKDAY!
