Snow and Bows

Y'all this past week has been literally the most exciting week of 2014 so far. 

Tuesday started out as any normal day...I got up, got ready for school, ate breakfast, and drove to Stone Center for my first two classes just like any other day. 
During my first class I looked out the window and realized it was kinda snowing....and by kinda, I mean snowing really hard. 
 But my professor just kept on teaching and so when I headed to my second class I didn't really think anything about it. My next professor, Dr. Cook, let us take our quiz and leave as soon as that was over, even though Jacksonville State hadn't officially canceled classes I headed to my truck. 


Needless to say, I was less than thrilled when I got to the parking lot and discovered that there was no way I was getting back to Clay County, not Tuesday anyways. 

It took me about an hour to get from Stone Center to my apartment (which is normally only like an eight minute drive). It was really slippery, but thank goodness for my four-wheel drive! 

Since I couldn't come home (even though I really wanted to) I spent my afternoon watching Netflix and making snow cream, which was totally the only good part about this snow storm.

Wednesday morning the snow wasn't too much better, I hung out with my sweet friends Jasie, Hannah, and Marisa and spent a little more time hanging out in the snow before my sweet knights in shining armor aka my daddy and Christopher met me halfway home and rescued me!


The snow was crazy deep!

Here are some pictures of the traffic on I-20 which was just a wreck. These aren't mine (obviously) but they show the madness that ensued after this winter weather hit us. 

(By the way, I specifically did not write this blog to complain about all the Northerners who are being SO RUDE about how Alabama handled the snow storm. But, just an FYI, the South is not equipped to deal with winter weather of this magnitude because we simply don't get it enough. Plus, we weren't made aware of this in time to even be sort of prepared, which is why children were still in school when the snow came. Okay, off my soapbox now.)

When I did finally make it home then I checked on my horses and spent a little time checking on Christopher's cows. 


I'm not really sure the horses were crazy about the snow, it kept getting packed in their shoes! 




The views on Chris' land are amazing, especially in the snow. And how precious is that little calf standing on top of the hay bale! 

Can you say dangerous? This was the ice under Chris' feed bins!


All of that snow sure did make for a perfect setting though, the sunset was beautiful and I snapped this shot of Christopher's house as we were coming home, it looks like the perfect Christmas card to me. 

I'm still bitter about the fact that Chris and I didn't take a single picture in all of this snow. 


I think it's safe to say that the dogs would be happy if it snowed every single day, although after being snowed in at my apartment in Jacksonville, I probably won't be wishing for snow any time soon!

Now for the bow part....
