Christmas was interesting to say the least this year… In the morning I was at my Aunt and Uncles in West Jordan, where we snowed in. The clouds opened up and completely dumped on us! With the wind blowing as hard as it was in combination with the snow, 
the power went out! It was kind of fun, until we where starving and realized that there was no way to cook the French Toast! Thankfully after an hour or so, the power came back on and we had a yummy breakfast!
Sadly the next issue was trying to leave! With the storm as bad as it was, they had to close down all the roads going eastbound from West and South Jordan! This meant my Aunt was stuck and could not take her family to Henifer, and we didn’t have any food for Christmas dinner. Oh well, it all worked out in some strange way!
By about 6pm, I decided to try to make it to my side of the valley. Thankfully the roads had cleared up some, and I made it home safely, then I honkered down for the night. Totally strange though, when I got out to Sandy, it was just Rain, and a lot of the snow had melted.
After a hot shower and random food compiled together, my roommate and I decided to watch Pride and Prejudice. I have seen the LDS version and the Kira Knightly version, but never the BBC 6 hour one before, until now. I loved it! It was everything I had wished for and then some. I watch the new one now and I feel like it is on fast forward!
Anyway, about an hour and half into it, my roommate had to bring the dogs in for the night, and that was when we noticed the storm! We got about 6 inches in just a few short hours! It was horrible! When I went to bed, the snow was level with the highest parts from shoveling before!
As I woke up the next morning, we had at least a foot of snow! This was by far the most we have gotten in one down pour this year! My roommate tried to shovel the driveway, and only made it in one stripe. It was quite comical! She told me to leave it, and that hope
fully the neighbors will feel bad and come help.
I have this crazy phobia of not being able to get out, and have an exit strategy at all times, and I felt really claustrophobic, and needed to dig our way out. Plus I felt like I needed a nice workout, so I went out anyways! She was right… The snow was heavy and more work than I thought it would be! She felt bad and decided to come out and join me. It was a great bonding experience and about an hour of tough work!

When we finally got my car dug out, we decided to finish the whole driveway. However, one of my wonderful roomm
ates left her boyfriends car in the driveway. Since they where not coming back until Sunday night, we thought it would be fun and less work to bury his car. It gave us a good laugh!
