So, we had another fantastic nights sleep in a bed. What more could we ever ask for. With uncertain plans to leave today, we checked the weather to see what would be in store for us if we did. It was really not looking good. More freezing rain and winter storm warnings were in effect until late that afternoon. Chris said she would like it if we stayed because then she didn't have to worry about us out in that weather. I guess it would be kind of silly of us to leave a nice warm place where we were welcome to stay, just to put ourselves in the same situation we had yesterday again. So, I guess we are taking an unexpected rest day today! On his way home from work (he was working nights last night), Aaron brought home some donuts! Chris made some bacon and eggs to go along with them. So much good food! Once the kids were off to school, the house was just so quiet. Only little Bree was left and she wasn't very loud. She is one of the smiliest babies I've ever seen. She is to the age where she is going to start walking soon. For a couple hours, I made myself comfy in bed and worked on typing a bit. Bella, the puppy, finally got used to us an let us pet her. She was actually pretty cuddly and playful after that, which didn't help me get my journals done, but it sure was fun to have puppy time! Later that day, Chris made us some of her favorites- Rotella dip and chips, and homemade chicken and dumplings! The perfect meal for a cold day. Later on that day, we heard news that the kids were getting let out early from school because of the weather. So the kids were home around 1-1:30. It was great to have a little extra time with them! Later on that day, some of the people we met last night stopped by. At one point, we headed next door to one of the lady's houses for some baked goods. Chocolate cookies, banana bread, and "Red Lobster" biscuts. It was so yummy! It was nice to have a chance to spend some time with some of the group from last night again. The thing I noticed here was that everyone spends a lot of time at each other's house. I asked if that was a normal thing, and they said that it was. It was so much fun having everyone together for no special occasion at all, just because. What a fun group of people to be around! As we walked back to Chris's house, the grass was going "crunch, crunch" as everything was covered in ice. Lots of ice cycles everywhere. The funny thing is that down here, any kind of snow or ice ends up completely shutting things down. Later that night, we played Wii with Brynn and Bret, and got to enjoy some ice cream!! Joey played the Wii sports games with them and I played the "Just Dance" game, which I loved- if we ever get a Wii, that is one game that I will have to make sure to get. It was a very fun day, I guess it worked out just fine that there was more freezing rain today. The weather forecast looks clear for tomorrow, so we should be ok to get back on the road, but then again, that's what they said a couple days ago and were completely wrong. We will see what happens!
