There where times that the road was completely covered and I couldn't see the lines. I hadn't really had the issue in Cincinnati this winter, and being in a van with rear wheel drive was dangerous. And then to top it all off I was behind and getting sleepy again! However, I wasn't about to pull off the road and risk them closing the road on me, so I prayed and kept going. Then all of a sudden the snow had stop and the road was completely clear, I thought “Yeah I am out of the woods, it will be smooth from here out!” Man, was I wrong. Off and on there was snow then no snow, the closer I got to Utah the worse it seemed to be. Now, when I left Cincinnati it was about 70 degrees and now I was driving in snow. I questioned what I had done, and I wondered if I should have stayed overnight in a motel. But I kept strong, snow or no snow I was going to make it home. My final rest stop for the trip was in Lyman, WY, I even debated staying there for the rest of the night. The whole time Vincent was at work and telling people what I was doing, of course they thought I was insane. Actually, looking back I think I was a bit insane too. I think I told Vincent that I was just gonna stay at the rest area for the rest of the night, but alas I didn't. When I hit the Utah / Wyoming border there was no snow, and of course no cell phone reception for me. I couldn't call Vincent to let him know where I was, so if something happened that would be bad. So to make a long story short I arrived in Logan, UT and picked Vincent up at 5:00 AM, and headed home. Man I am glad I don't have to do that by myself again. All that driving on maybe 9 hours of sleep, with two old dogs and one freaked out cat. By the end of our journey Tigger was wore out and passed out on my bed in the van!
I am thankful that the Lord allowed me to get home safely, because without him I think I would have totally freaked out in Wyoming and wouldn't have been able to make it as far as I did.

So glad you made it to UT safely. Was this around April 16th? I really is an uncommon thing to get that much snow in the valley mid-April. You are brave to have attempted a drive like that by yourself! I'm glad you like your new home though. Eat some squeeky cheese for me ;)
No it was around the beginning of April, but I have just no gotten around to posting everything.
I'm so glad that you arrived safely! I've said my share of prayers in the car to arrive places safely. Hope things are going well. We miss you both!
Shayleen, I haven't heard "squeeky cheese" in eons. Love it!
