Winter Break

I finally got home from college for winter break on December 12th at 3:50 p.m. It was great! I made it down to Salt Lake with plenty of time so spare. I parked my car at my roommate's house, got a ride to the airport with another roommate, had some help unloading boxes from some guys at the airport, checked in, and was on my way! It hadn't snowed in Logan for a month, and the only other time it did was once only like half an inch. I was worried that it was going to snow and keep me trapped! But alas, I got out unscathed. It did, however, snow like crazy to give Logan over 5 inches the day after I left. Boy, was I glad I got out of there when I did!
Home has been nice. It's been good to see friends and family, and to be back in my hometown of the hippies. I was expecting to come home and now worry about snow, but low and behold, it snowed here! Like 4 inches maybe? Everyone is having trouble driving on the roads, there have been lots of crashes and cars are traveling super slow, but it seems safer that way. It snowed last night and started sticking around 10 or so I think. It was absolutely beautiful; t looked so pretty falling under the streetlights. It's not supposed to get too warm today, so I dont' think it will melt tonight, but I do think it will melt enough to freeze over and make driving even more dangerous again tomorrow. We'll see how it goes!
I'm working for my dad over winter break to make some extra money for christmas shopping. I still have a few gifts left to get, so it will be very helpful! I was just supposed to be organizing stuff on the second level today, but since it snowed the receptionist wasn't able to come in, so I got to fill in! The day has gone by pretty fast, I get to leave in 10 minutes and I've been here since nine. I think the hour long lunch break helped! I didn't dress up or anything today, because I was expecting to be up in the top level freezing, so I look at little tired and underdressed, but oh well! That's what I'll be doing tomorrow, so I'll be ready!
