Snow

Mike went to work on Wednesday and got stuck at Kramer Junction due to SNOW...who would ever imagine? This is off the 395 and on the way to where we camp for Thanksgiving. I love this picture, you can see how long of a trailer my (brave strong) husband drives for a living. I love the snow on the excavator and the truck..oh and Astro Burger in the background. Mike loves that place and is now officially "friends" with the owner, since he and coworked spent the entire day "snowed in" at Astro Burger. They did find a hotel for the night (priase GOD) and he was able to drive home yesterday.


We were a bit worried he wouldn't make it home for the kids play, we prayed that he would be home in time and more importantly he would be safe. Isabella was really upset before school and Mrs. Willis prayed with us (she is the best prayer warrior), and God answered our prayers - he is so great...don't you think? Mike was home safely, and the machine was safe and the play was awesome (next post with pictures).


This is out of his truck window, trying to find a motel in Boron. Pretty wild snow storm, in So Cal.
I drove home from work on Weds through a Blizzard on Ortega hwy (okay you east coast people, I know it was just a bit of snow, but a blizzard to me), It was amazing and I wish I could have pulled over and taken photos but I just wanted to get down the hill. 2 of my friends from work got to the top and they turned them around, so they have to go back to the 91 and it took them 5 hours to get home...ugh!

great shots! I like the picture of Mike standing there with that long trailer- I don't know how he pulls that thing! Glad he was able to make it home for Isabella's play.

I would have been freaking out looking out that window. I am NOT a good driver in the snow! Hope you had a great holiday.
