One day, my roommate and I were planning on waking up early to work out. We both laid in bed,

waiting for the other to get out for motivation. From above, I hear Hilda tell me, "It's snowing." So we agreed to go back to sleep. She had a class to wake up for, but the only thing I had planned for the day was my internship at my church. After getting out of bed, she said, "Isabel, it's really snowing!" I mumbled, "yeah, ok..." in my half

awake, half asleep state, knowing that it wasn't real snow because I live in Texas...and it NEVER snows here--at least not real snow! By the time I dragged myself out of bed to begin my day, I looked out the window and I'm pretty sure if I were on the first floor I would have climbed out and played in the snow right then. However, the second floor is too high up to try and exit from. I called the church to let them know that I wouldn't be making the nearly 30 minute drive through the "treacherous" weather. They weren't going to be open anyway. Throughout the day I continued c

hecking to see if my 3:30 class had been canceled. All I really wanted to do was play in the snow with my friends!

Between their classes, we went and played in the already 6-7 inches of snow after bundling up. The snow was not letting up. It kept coming down! I had never seen this much snow in north Texas!  So here are some pictures from our snow day.

We hit a record for the most snow fall in one day EVER in this area, at 12.5" and they stopped measuring at midnight but the snow still kept falling! It was amazing!  Our white chapel was barely visible with all the snow that continued to fall. We made snow angels, had snowball fights and enjoyed the snow while it kept coming! By the time I returned to my room and checked the status of my class again, I found out that I was FREE for the day! I didn't have to do anything and could still play in all the white fluffy stuff! It was gorgeous and we all loved being kids again! I hope you enjoy my snowy adventurous day as much as I did...and this was also the first time I've EVER had to dig my car out of snow!
