Happy Thanksgiving!

If Mom has not already informed you, Ryan and I had a very cold and unexpected Thanksgiving. Our plans were to drive to see Ryan's grandparents (2.5 hours away) on Thursday and stay until Saturday morning. Well, as we were loading up the car on Thusday, it stated snowing! After watching the tv real quick, we realized it had just stated and it should not last long, so we got on the road. It snowed off and on for about an hour into the trip, but then the last hour and a half it was coming down pretty hard. Fortunately, we had not problems and we made it to O'ma and O'pa's about two in the afternoon to find all of this......


It was only supposed to snow a little and not stick, but it ended up being about three inches that stuck. By nightfall, the snow had slowed and eventually stopped. The next morning eerything was melting and we had a great football day staying indoors and relaxing. I was lucky and got to read about the GRE! :) This is Friday now and we are all packed up to leave Saturday morning until about ten at night the weather was chaning again! Needless to say, Ryan, Allison and I drove home last night at about midnight and got home at two thirty. The roads were not icy, it did not start snowing until five minutes outside of Lubbock and watching out for deer actually kept us all entertained! We probably saw somewhere close to fifty deer on the side of the roads, but none of them seemed to care that we were passsing them. Mostly, they looked up, saw us, looked back down and kept on eating! The interesting part was seeing a group of wild hogs on the side of the road! (about 6) Raider and Star were extremely happy to see us too. Can you believe at three in the morning Ryan and I were giving them baths so that they could sleep with us?! Now Quala and Randy are on their way home. The original plans were for them to drive here to have a Thanksgiving with us and pack up some of Allison's stuff, but with the weather being so unpredictable, they left straight from O'ma and O'pa's. Now I get to cook a Thanksgiving feast for Ryan and I for sure and Allison if she can drive across town without worrying about ice. That is pretty much the extend of my excitement. I hope your Thanksgiving was relaxing and calm!

Here are some pictures to describe all the snow and whiteness.



Oh and we have an 80% of snow tonight and tomorrow! Good thing I am at home and don't have to work! :)
