Well, if Todd and I can make it through this week, we will have Spring Break next week. With Spring Break, comes the chance to catch up on school work, do observations and start on a 12 page research paper. Not much of a break, but Todd willbe able to work full time and we won't have to go to AUM, and we should not have any new assignments.

Better Late Than Never

Much to my surprise we woke up to snow Sunday morning. Actually part of the surprise came when the phone was ringing at the crack of dawn. Alicia was calling to tell me to get up and look at the snow. I was really surprised by the amount that we had gotten during the night! I was also surprised by how there can be tornadoes one day and then snow the next. Well, we had decided to visit a different church that morning, but after seeing the amount of snow and hearing that the some of bridges were iced over, we decided to stay home.







We had a great time enjoying the snow. Todd and Ben had a brilliant idea to get on the roof and make snow angels. Well, long story short. Todd jumped off the ladder while coming down and twisted his knee. I guess boys will ALWAYS be boys.







Well, we spent most of the morning playing in the snow and coming in to warm up and drinking hot chocolate.












Well, it did not take long for the snow to start melting, so we decided to venture out and get breakfast. We ended up at Cracker Barrel and in our true fashion we ALL met there, Christy and Brad minus their kids (they were with their Grandma) and Ben and Alica and family. We of course had a great time and at this point thought that the snow had stopped and was melting.
Well, boy were we wrong. After an hour after we got home this is what we saw. Needless to say, we did not get back out on the rodes again. We just went out in the backyard and had snowball fights.
We ended our fun day at Pri-Med for Todd's knee. He basically just sprained it really bad. The doctor gave him three different meds. He missed school on Monday and work on Tuesday because the meds knock him OUT. I hope that this is lesson learned, but I am sure there will be another story next time.
There has not been any other events worth noting. Todd and I are trying to survive our school work and juggle family life and activities. If I do not post much over the next few weeks, it is because I have an 8-10 page research paper and a 4 page research paper in another class. This goes along with all the other regular assignments that I have.
I just keep telling myself that it will all be worth it one day, right?
