As many of you probably know, western North Carolina got hit with a snow storm on Friday night. I believe all you northerners got snow from the same storm, as well. Joseph commutes to work to Western North Carolina three days a week. He debated whether to drive north to work on Friday. The committed worker that he is made the 1 1/2 hour trip, north, to work on Friday morning without too much trouble. At the end of the workday and with the utmost determination to get home Joseph got in his car (really my car) and attempted to drive home, not knowing how bad the conditions really were and not knowing about the 18-wheeler that jackknifed on the interstate blocking traffic going east AND west. Joseph sat in deadlock traffic for 6-hours until roads cleared. He watched the snow pile up and watched plow trucks, wreckers, and other servicemen attempt to clear the roads and help stranded drivers. Still determined to get home Joseph kept on "truck'n" ahead once traffic started moving. He arrived home at 2:10AM Saturday morning, 10 1/2 hours after leaving work. I did not support Joseph's decision to drive to work nor his decision to drive home, but the Mississippi boy did not wish to abide by my orders (not unusual!!). Maybe now he understands why I have no desire to live in the North again.
Weather where we live cleared up quickly. It's quite cold, but we are staying warm.
Enjoy the pictures of Samantha.

10 hours!? Oh man, that sounds awful, but I give Joseph credit for trucking through it to get home. BTW, that last pic of Joseph & Sam in the brown chair is great - have you ever seen a happier baby? Love the pics of Sam and dog-licking too. Stay warm and cherish her first Christmas! Love and miss you all.
