Digging Out . . . and an anniversary

Maybe one of these days I'll get to a post on our wonderful Christmas, and our busy December, but probably not tonight. I will however write about our record 20.2 inches of snow we got on Christmas!! We left a day early, to get to my parents in time before the blizzard hit, then were snowed in at their house for a few days with my whole family. It was nice and cozy! Our neighbors called us to tell us how much snow we got, and that the snow drifts were covering 3/4 of all our doors, so there was no way we would even get in our house. In the past, when we have been gone and gotten lots of snow, our neighbors would snowblow for us so we could get in our house. This time, not even a snowblower would do the job, so Monte called someone in town with a loader to clear the snow out before we got home. Our normally 4 hour trip back to our place from my parents took about 5 and a half hours, due to icy roads. Then, we got more wind, and it took Monte 5 hours to snowblow our driveway the next day!

Also, as of today, Monte and I have been married for 7 years! (A couple of pictures from our wedding day are located here.) The three of us celebrated by going out to eat at our favorite restaurant tonight. Then Monte and I played our usual nightly game of Scrabble, a great night!
