The big news here is that 6 inches of snow fell in Tyler yesterday! Luckily, we knew what the weather prediction was (and we believed it!) so seminary was already canceled. In fact, everyone had a snow day from school and made snow men and snow angels. For some reason, Sadie loved the snow and I witnessed her plopped right down in it and lapping it up!
The brave souls that ventured on to Evan's work got together and even made a cute snowman! Here are a few pics of our day.
Evan and I had already invited 5 other couples over for a fajita night. We were getting concerned when we still had no power about 4 pm. So Evan pulled out his trusty generator (the one which allowed us to watch BYU football during the power outages for Hurricane Ike two years ago with Chris and Sarah--we have our priorities in order!) and after quite a few pulls and some careful adjustments, got it going so we could have some lights amid our candlelit dinner table. We had a fun night and played the Newlywed Game and ate delicious fajitas off of Evan's grill despite having no electricity. Power was restored about 10 pm, but we were happy to say we survived quite nicely without it! Our friends said it was pretty amazing driving up to the only lit up house in the whole neighborhood. Our neighbors would have to admit that we truly believe that no matter what happens, the show must go on!
