Snowed in . . .

Over the weekend Columbus beat it's previous snow accumulation record of 15 inches from back in 1910. We got a whopping 20 inches of snow, and drifts upwards of 3 feet in a matter of 2 days. Now I know that doesn't seem to be much snow to all of our friends and family in Eastern Idaho, and some of the upper northern states, but it was definitely a whirlwind here for a few days; I wish I had $10 for each car that I saw stuck in our intersection outside our apartment and on the road yesterday; I would have had quite a chunk of change. Cory helped a few people get unstuck as we cheered him on from the comfort of our warm apartment "go daddy go, go daddy go." to which Briggs pointed out that, "HE CAN'T HEAR US!" It has finally calmed down and the sun is shining.

Church was cancelled today and we were looking at another wintry day inside. Cory called the bishop to see if we could do sacrament; he said that would be great. So, we all got dressed and ready for Sacrament in our apartment. For our talks I shared President Hinkley's message from the Ensign, Briggs told us the story of the Tree of Life, and Cory selected a General Conference talk, that we watched, by President Eyring, on the Tender mercies of the Lord and the importance of keeping our family record. I was bummed that we didn't get to go to church but our day turned out pretty special after all. I think that would be just one of those tender mercies!
