Making Memories

So our Christmas was nice, but quite eventful and full of memories we will (hopefully) laugh later.... First, we enjoyed being lazy all morning, not really doing much since we didn't have to. Then, our friends whom we were to have dinner with later on called to say that they were at the hospital because the wife (my friend from nursing school who is also expecting) had a blood clot in her leg. So, we decided since we had Robert's work truck, we would brave the icy and snowy roads to go see her. Of course right before we leave, we discover that the toilet overflowed, so we had to deal with that first. We made it there just fine despite there not being a single snow plow in extistence in Rexburg and happily she was released around 3:00 that afternoon. But, as luck would have it, when we went to leave, the truck wouldn't start. So after nearly an hour of trying to get it to start, we had to leave the truck and went to our friends' house to do dinner and enjoy our evening. Then, when we had finished dinner and a movie (around 10:00), we had to ask our friends to drive us home and the roads were so icy and snowy because it had been snowing constantly all day; it took us almost 50 mins to get home (normally 20-25) and then he had to drive all the way back! We felt so bad, not to mention that the road to our house was non-existant! I don't know how we made it all the way down to our house (around 1/2 mile) and he made it all the way back out in a Malibu with no 4-wheel drive or snow tires!
So it was quite the eventful Christmas, one we will definitely not forget soon, but we enjoyed it and we hope you all enjoyed yours!
