Blessed

Well, I know that 7 a.m. is not my ususal blogging time, but I had to write this down.

This morning in Rexburg, Idaho is probably the coldest it has ever been (since we have been here, and I hear it does not get much better). It is -19 (as in negative 19) degrees outside, feels like -38 (so the weather.com website says), and barely anyone's cars will start, especially ours. Looks like we need to pull out and plug in that engine warmer after all.

Anyways, so first Domenic goes outside to start the car... nothing. Then, ten minutes later I go out to start it, absolutely nothing. At this time I am praying really hard that the car will start.

It wouldn't normally be a huge deal to walk to school in normal circumstances but considereing that domenic just got diagnosed with bronchitis that has a high risk of phnemonia, I was freaking out about him walking 15 minutes in the snow.

I knocked on our friends door downstairs who are from around this area and in our ward, their car wouldn't budge either. So here I am freaking out about Dom walking, saying what seemed like hundreds of little prayers, and our next door neighbor from our floor pulls into the apt. complex building parking lot having just been from the school dropping her husband off (so I knew her car would start).

Needless to say, I waited for her to come into the building and asked her to take my husband and our friends to school. I explained how Dom was sick, how it was snowing (how it snows in -19 degree weather is still a mystery to me), and despite my morning breath, awesome pajamas, combined with some crazy beadhead I had going on, she was an angel and gladly accepted to take them to school. Needless to say, I am very, very, very grateful for her!

Heavenly Father never lets me down.
