Yesterday We Drove though a Blizzard

Not the best idea. 

It was snowy all day. The kind that is thick and it tells you that winter is here to stay.

Andrew and I were meeting my parents at Ikea.

They were coming from the north and we were coming from the south. 

When we left there was a break in the storm and the clouds were clearing.

But when we got to Lehi that was a completely different story! 

It was a full on blizzard. Viability was about 500 yards (that's what my phone said but I think less).

We saw a truck start to slide into another lane. 

We even did a little ourselves which was terrifying knowing that you have no control.  

I was shaking! The heater was on full blast but I was terrified! 

How in the world did this happen? Why were we driving? 

Nothing at Ikea was worth this. 

We wanted to get off at an exit but the next exit available was the one right before Ikea. 

Might as well go to Ikea. 

We braved the storm and we made it.

I was praying so hard. 

The Ikea parking lot was basically empty. 

For obvious reasons. 

This is the best picture I have of the storm and the picture does not do it justice. 

It was much worse than what this picture portrays, but it gives a good idea.

We got parts of an entertainment center.

They were out of certain pieces. Even if some where in the store they wouldn't get it down

off the high shelves. Ok then... We risked our lives for this? 

Loading up our enteriainment center pieces. 

We'll be back this weekend. 

Haha. 

That's our blizzard story.

Don't do it.

A blizzard is much more enjoyable in a warm house 

watching it from your windows with apple cider. 

When we left the storm had cleared but that was after spending

three and a half hours at Ikea. At least it was warm, 

Our Thanksgiving Weekend

Happy Thanksgiving! 

I am so excited that the holidays are now here and we get to celebrate! 

I love this time of year!

On Thanksgiving morning Andrew and I woke up and were talking in bed.

We hear this noise and we ran, grabbed our shoes and went outside and saw this!

It landed outside our apartment complex. 

Well, good morning! 

Andrew and I spent Thanksgiving with his family this year. 

I have not spent Thanksgiving in Utah in forever! 

My family usually goes on a vacation to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios

or we go and see family. But not traveling made for a relaxing weekend. 

 This is one of my favorite party games. 

It's memory but with a small twist and it's fun to figure it out. 

How neat is this butter?

I want one for every year! 

My family was in Nebraska visiting my mom's side.

Before the trip, my aunt was telling my mom not to dress nice

and to just come as a pilgrim. My mom thought it would be funny,

so she did and she got my brother and dad to join in too.  

We got gym passes! We've been meaning to do this for months and

we finally decided to buckle down and do it. 

Wish us luck!  

We went to the BYU vs. USU Football Game!

I was wanting to go this game all year and we were able to get tickets! 

 We went inside the tent for dinner and snacks during half time. 

That is the way to do a football game! 

And these things were the best! 

Graham Canyon or something. 

I died and went to heaven every time I ate one. 

I went to the gym that day so it cancelled out, right? 

Do you see our different hoodies? (I love Utah State!) 

The weather prediction was rain and snow. 

That didn't happen but it was a little chilly. 

I was cheering on my Aggies the whole time but BYU won.

It's ok. I still love USU (and I want to go back). 

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break. 

We are so blessed. We have our family close.

We have a wonderful apartment and a ward we love.

We both have jobs, the gospel, and each other.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

And counting down the days till Christmas Break! 

(26 more days.... LESS THAN A MONTH!!!)
