Well, whether we were dreaming of a white christmas or not, that's what we're getting...we're going to Colorado.
Great. Let's drive into into what has been declared a state of emergency. That sounds smart. =o)
The truth is we're excited and by the time we hit the road on Saturday most of the messiness will be over. My parents will be flying into Denver Christmas Day, also once most of the messiness is over there, so that's good.
I've heard that this is the biggest storm to hit since March 2003. Hmm, March 2003 sounds familiar...oh yes...I was in Denver. In. The. Snow.
It was my first year on staff and I had a group of students with me for a spring break mission trip to the innercity of Denver. Yes. I was alone with 14 students (mostly freshmen) in 36" of snow.
As a staff person, it was a stressful trip...I was worried I was going to lose a student in the snow (when they were building igloos in the parking lot!) or not be able to get them home (when I could hardly find the van in the parking lot) or have to pay for damage on a vehicle (a wiper on the back of one of the vans broke off from the weight of the snow). But, I still have a lot of fond memories from that trip.
Anyway. Glad we're getting there after the storm and that I don't have 14 students with me. Mainly, I'm just glad we're going and am looking forward to adding more "blizzard" memories to the ones from 2003.
