cancelled...again.

Last Friday Anna and I got up really early, pulled Emily out of bed, and did chores in the dark so we could get to History Class. An e-mail came saying it would be delayed an hour because the roads were bad. We left a half hour early because it would take longer to get there, mostly because of following exceptionally slow cars. We had been driving for 50 minutes when we got a call saying it was cancelled because the roads were bad! Oh you mean the roads we've been driving on for almost an hour? Oh, well thanks for thinking of our safety.
This morning we got up early, I took a shower at an ungodly hour, and then I checked e-mail. Yes, class was canceled. At least we weren't in the car already!

In other news, my mom's oldest brother died Wednesday. We were hanging out at the hospital for days before he died and now at his wife's house since then. So that's what has been going on around here, the funeral is on Saturday. None of us knew him really well, there was a pretty big gap between Mom and him. There's 10 kids in the family, and Mom is the only born-again believer, so if you remember you can pray for them.

And the big news today is my sister Michelle is at the hospital ready to have her baby!!! Ted texted Mom a little while ago. Dad will get a granddaughter for his birthday! I am SO EXCITED!!!
