Crazy Snow!!

 Alright, so before I tell you all about our crazy snow storm, I must share my exciting news! .................................  ........... ........ Nathan and I got iPhone's!! Haha :D!

Ok, it probably isn't very exciting, BUT as some of you knew, I have been wanting an iphone for the past 3 or 4 years, and lately it has seemed like everyone I know has been getting one! So after lots of selling and convincing to Nathan, from his brother Jay and me, he finally caved and we got iphones!! It was a joyous day in the Brooksby household! :)

So anyway...... Idaho has been having some crazy extreme weather this winter. It has been FREEZING here for weeks without a break. Everyday it would only be in the negatives or single digits. They had to cancel school one day because it was TOO cold outside! So awful! Well it finally warmed up for a couple days (when i say warm i mean in the high 20's lower 30's) that is pretty sad that those temps are warm to us right now! So after a couple days of that warmer weather a crazy snow storm blew in and last Sunday we woke up to it snowing, and the wind blowing, and our cars covered in snow!

It continued to snow throughout the whole day and apparently the night as well, because when we woke up that next morning there was snow EVERYWHERE!!

 All the local schools were canceled again, but this time it was an actual snow day! Nathan got up to go to school, but could barely get our of our apartment complex. He ended up helping a few neighbors who were stuck in the snow, and decided to stay home and not risk the roads up to Rexburg. A couple hours later the snow plow came around the main road and pushed about 2-3 feet of snow at the end of our driveway, the only way to get out of our apartment complex. So needless to say, we were snowed in, if we weren't already! In the mid afternoon we went out to the parking lot, and a couple of neighbors and us were shoveling cars out and a guy came with his 4 wheeler and plow and started plowing all the snow away! After a couple hours the snow was cleared enough to get our cars out! After all the snow was plowed, there were big piles of snow and of course Nathan and I had to play in them! So we made a snow cave! It was fun to play in the snow. That was the first time we'd been able to play in it all winter!

Even though we were wet and really cold afterwards, it was so fun! We had a great time out in the snow with each other!! :)
