You Know You are Surrounded By Good People When...

Wow... I have got the best husband ever! Brent had been (and still is) preparing for the end of semester final presentation of his project. He and his group have been working late to put in all the time they can find into their project. Monday was a snowy day and I never quite got around to shoveling the driveway. I actually do enjoy shoveling snow (light and fluffy snow) and I figured the snow would still be there in the morning. Brent finally got home from school around 1:00 AM... and before coming in he SHOVELED our driveway!! Wow, talk about going the extra mile to be the best of the best! I feel so spoiled as I slept right through the whole thing!

This morning was very snowy again. One of our cars is really snow intolerant! (But it is sure a fun ride when you are looking to drive around crazy-like, out of control, in the snow... and then get stuck.) I have been waiting for the day to come when I would need to drive the snow-unfriendly car to work on a super snowy day... and I've been practicing driving the car in the snow so I would be ready! Well it snowed so much our car couldn't drive in the snow today! My mom offered to let me take her nice 4-wheel-drive car to work for the whole day! What generosity!! (And this was after she came over and shoveled our driveway!)

What examples of giving I have in my life! Thanks for being so sincere and thoughtful Brent and shoveling our driveway in the middle of the night while I slept! And thanks to Mom for being so incredibly generous and trusting to let me take your car and upset your schedule for the day. Thanks for the difference you make in my life!

Hee hee, i thought it would be fun to post a picture of snow... this is Joni in 2006! This was her first time snowboarding! Doesn't she make snowboarding look so fun and easy?!
