| The fresh snow behind our house as the sun came out and wind died down today |
As a teacher a snow day is at the top on my list of favorites. I am honestly convinced that teachers get even more excited for snow days than the students. To me it seems like you are given the gift of time, which is the best gift ever. Well today was the first snow day of the year for all the schools in the area. It was so strange to not get that phone call and have it impact my day. Kylie and I did what we have been doing most days recently, which included playing and reading books, cuddling in our warm house (we did not brave the cold to play in the snow), and having lots of "conversations" (Kylie loves to babble right now!) I even found time to make a few Christmas cookies. It was another wonderful day and made me realize again how thankful I am to have this special time at home with her. I am going to start praying now for snow days second semester since I know I am going to be craving this time with my girl again.
The downside of this storm was definitely the fact that Ryan couldn't be here with us. He taught his last Concordia class of the semester last night and then stayed in Seward as the roads were too bad to come home. Tonight he is off to Columbus to hang out with friends Caleb, Adam, and Josh while Caleb is back from Canada. So Kylie and I are on our own for two nights in a row. Since Ryan was gone I figured scooping the driveway would just have to wait until Friday when he gets home. However when I looked outside this morning our neighbor Travis was shoveling our sidewalk and front entryway. Then this afternoon Ryan's uncle Dave and cousin Seth stopped over with their snow blower and cleared our driveway. I am so incredibly thankful for these acts of kindness.
