Safe and Sound

The weather when we set out yesterday was beautiful, and we decided we wanted to take advantage of it while it lasted. We kept checking in with our "people" in Denver and in Chicago who were keeping tabs on the weather for us. The reports remained discouraging, so we decided to continue to press forward as long as we were able. We had mostly dry roads until we hit northern Colorado, and the snow was coming down hard and straight sideways. We didn't want to get stuck, so we decided to keep ourselves up and go all the way home. We got here about two a.m. and beat the blizzard. And then we woke up this morning and discovered a small skiff of snow. The streets were barely wet. Some blizzard. At least we're home, and watching general conference in our own warm abode in our sweats. I'll take it.
