On December 12, the last day of my long term sub job, Shaun and I drove to Las Vegas to visit his grandparents. His grandmother was in the hospital with pneumonia. We spent most of our time visiting her and the rest of the time hanging out with his grandfather. We also helped him put up their Christmas decorations. On December 15 we began one of our most stressful drives home. Soon after leaving Las Vegas, it began to snow. Luckily, we made it through before they closed the 15 Freeway in both directions. That was the least of our worries since we still hadn't made it to the Cajon Pass. Thankfully, we were able to get through by police escort after a VERY long wait. I was a nervous wreck! I was already trying to figure out a way that we could sleep in the car with boxes and boxes of Department 56 Villages in the car. That's another story that I don't even want to get into right now. Maybe I'll want to discuss it when I don't have to look at the boxes that are still stacked all around our house.
