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!
(The fountain by our pool froze over.)
