Just getting started...

This is my first post of many yet to come. We ended up having a great weekend despite the blizzard. We went to a great restaurant, Boatwerks, in Holland on the waterfront Friday night. It was great food, great friends and a great atmosphere. Ryan had to work Saturday and we were paying a babysitter, so we just had dinner, hung out with our friends for awhile and headed home. The weather was bitterly cold, but not unbearable yet... Then we had a wedding Saturday. I thought we would easily hit something on the way there. The wedding was out towards the lake, and it was a COMPLETE white-out on the way there. I was a nervous wreck. It is nice to have a husband who is such a great driver though. He never gets uptight no matter what the road conditions. He had been driving in a white police car all day in the white-out and really thought at times he could have been easily hit and injured, so once he was behind the wheel of his 4 wheel drive Dodge Ram, he felt much more confident in the weather conditions. Anyway, the wedding service was nice and then we headed to Grand Haven Golf Club ( still in treacherous driving conditions). It was a great night. The food was awesome, good company and good music. Once we got there, I was so glad we went. It was much better than sitting home bored in the blizzard. I haven't hung out much with Ryan's cop friends, but they were so much fun. We were supposed to head to Hamilton today for a super bowl party, but the hosts called and canceled it- said the roads were even worse in Hamilton, so we better stay put. Cobe went to a friend's house and the other two kids slept a lot, so I had a nice relaxing day. And the best news yet... NO SCHOOL tomorrow!! Awesome! I thought there were several days this past week that we should have had snow days and didn't, so I was glad to finally catch a break. I am sure cabin fever will hit soon, but until it does, we will enjoy the beautiful snow. We are going to Disney soon. We were all excited anyway, but leaving these below zero tempatures will be icing on the cake! Hope you all are keeping warm and cozy.
