Well here we are enjoying some snow. This week had 3 days of school cancelled and one late start, my boys were thrilled. They kept praying for more & more snow while I kept thinking "Yeah, it's pretty and all but it makes for crummy travel" Well, now I know first hand. My sweetie pie husband is stuck in Arizona. His flight early this morning was cancelled, he quickly tried to re-route and that too, was soon cancelled. His airline only flies from Phoenix to either Seattle or Portland, OR. This Pac-NW snowstorm has put a major dent in air travel at both SeaTac and PDX, so he's at the mercy of the ice & snow. Down here in Eugene, everything has melted overnight, and it's barely fathomable to us that there's a problem anywhere. We try to be Pollyanna about it and think of those who've lost loved ones and that if given the chance to trade places, they'd love to have their spouse, parent, child etc. stuck in another state 4 days before Christmas instead gone from this life. God bless him, my sweetpea, he's trying just as hard to stay upbeat on the other end. He's warm, he's got food and a hotel room. He's just bored. And lonely. We miss him too, but at least we're in our own home, own beds etc. He's stuck on a left over business trip, worse off than tourist since a tourist actually makes plans to be there on purpose! I know there's nothing we can do, so we'll just try to stay positive and pray he makes it home by the 25th. We know that this too, will become a family story one day.
