Last evening, we were surprised to look out our window and see snow swirling madly to the ground, and miracle of miracles, actually laying on the ground! There was no mention of this unexpected delight in the news to prepare us, which is highly unusual... snow is BIG news down here. Ron and I were anticipating a 2 hour delay for the girls as we snuggled into our warm bed last night.
Sure enough, there was a 2 hour delay this morning, so we got to savor the Valentine's giving this morning with the girls. I only wished they would be able to play in the snow a bit, but they had to get ready for school, so they could only gaze at it from the window. I was surprised to discover 50 minutes before McKenna was due to leave for school, that school had, in fact, been cancelled!
Well, there was no time to lose! The sun was already coming out and doing it's disappearing act on the snow that glistened in it's rays. I rushed the girls into their snow gear and ushered them outside to enjoy the snow before there was no snow to enjoy! We managed to scrape together 2 little snowmen before our frolic in the inch of snow was over. They are slowly becoming puddles as I type.
What a sweet surprise to have my 2 little Valentines home with me on this special day when we celebrate our loved ones. And this day is made all the more sweet knowing and rejoicing in the fact that Ron passed the ordination boards yesterday. All that hard work and stress is behind him, and we look forward to his being ordained at Lake Junaluska come June. So we have a double reason to celebrate this February 14. We are blessed.
