Stuck!


On the way home we had to take a detour at Cedar City. The freeway was closed due to a serious multicar accident on the freeway. Matt knew of another road home going over to Enterprise and then home. Well, it would have been fine, but there was a dirt road that Matt wanted to take that would be a "short cut." That muddy road turned into a icy/snowy road and we quickly got stuck. Since we were on a slight slant, we really had a hard time getting unstuck and staying unstuck. It took us two hours of going back and forth, getting stuck and unstuck to finally being able to back up out of then snow and back tracking back to the main road, all the while it was still snowing on us. We needed to be home before 7pm to get to my Relief Society meeting. We made it there at 7:30pm. Since we were having a dinner, it was ok that we were late. They actually had 2 extra lasagnas and then some, so I asked if I could take one home to feed my kids since we were all next to starving. I stayed and Matt took them home, had Jileigh take care of them and then he came back. We ate and then sang our song for the program. We sang a beautiful arrangement of Each life that touches ours for good with my friend Shelly and her husband with her daughter playing her violin. It turned out beautiful. We were exhausted by the time we got home. We made a fire in the fireplace and went to bed.
