Snow Day

Image taken from here and here originally
If I worked at a school, today would most likely be a snow day.  But instead I am at work enjoying the winter wonderland outside our doors which I am 100% okay with because my sweet husband J helped me dig out and get to work this morning.

Our driveway is quite steep and we have already had difficulty getting out once this winter due to ice.  I was not optimistic when I started up my car this morning that I would make it and I was right.  Luckily, J came down and helped.  He too couldn't get my car up the driveway and ended up pretty close to the wall of our apartment in the process--he had to crawl out the passenger side to get out!

Luckily, we were able to drive over a little bit of snow-covered grass and use our neighbors' driveway, which J shoveled for them before we tried it.  I meanwhile scraped all the snow of his car.  He then drove me to work (which was great because being from Southern California, I'm not a huge fan of driving in snow!) and texted me a while later to tell me he had gotten my car out of the driveway safe and sound!

I am so grateful that J was there to help me and we made it out without a scrape.  I even made it to work on time, despite all of what we had to go through this morning!  I guess the moral of this story is that I don't mind the white stuff if it means J is there to help me!

Did everyone else make it safely to work or school?  I saw on the news this morning that the Northeast is getting yet another major snow storm.  Be safe out there and stay warm!

P.S. Stay tuned for a book review (and pictures of my newly organized bookshelves) this afternoon!
