Stranded!!!

So, remember how there was supposed to be an amazing blizzard just before Thanksgiving? Well, it finally made it to Utah Valley...only about five weeks late! I woke up yesterday morning to the beginnings of the grand storm. It wasn't really bad yet, but by the time work got out, it was terrible...lots of snow, and lots of wind. So, rather than freak myself out driving home to Provo, I went with Erin to her house in American Fork. It cut the drive by a lot, and after meeting at Walmart and getting some essential items, I didn't have to drive anymore...which did wonders for my stress level.

It ended up being a really fun night. We didn't do anything really, but there is something about being at home during a storm that I love. Forget about the fact that I would have to get up in the morning and drive to work in the snow again (which wasn't too bad since it was cut short due to staying in American Fork), it was just nice to be safe inside with nowhere to go.

And, at work today, to calm my nerves, I colored a picture. I don't know why, but somehow coloring helps calm me down and relieves my stress. Thankfully, the storm did eventually subside and I am able to be at home in my apartment tonight.
