Praying for the Snow Storms

We are in the middle of a snow storm. The storm has a name, Storm Ion. 

I'm about a million percent positive that I willed this little (huge) snow storm our way. I've been dreading January 6th for a while now. I knew once January 6th came, i'd pretty much have to say good bye to Landon. A lot of our future rides on the next six months. 

I've gone through so many emotions over the last couple of weeks. Trying to stay positive, giving in and being negative, trying to be real, wanting to be optimistic. Wondering what we are doing and why we are doing it. I've wondered if we were going to make it. More specifically though, I've wondered if I was going to be able to make it, if I was going to be able to be the wife and the mother that Landon needs me to be in the next six months. 

So yes, you could say that i'm a little worried about these next six months. 

But, guess what. January 6th, at least the january 6th I planned on, isn't going to be here anymore, thanks to Storm Ion. The storm is so bad that with the foot of snow we've received today and the -40 degree wind chill we are going to have tomorrow, Landon's school is cancelled. 

Sure you could say that January 7th will be the new January 6th. But I won't. And it won't be. I'm not going to let some date scare me. And I'm not going to allow that date to be the "start" of hard times. January 6th is gone in my mind. 

Everything is going to be alright. In fact it is going to be better than alright. Sure there will be some hard moments in the next six months. There will be some hard moments in the next six years and in the next sixty years. But thats life. Instead of worrying about the hard moments ahead, i'm going to look forward to the good moments. The great moments. Like that time when there was a huge snow storm that church and school was cancelled and my little family stayed inside for 48 hours watching movies, eating good food, playing with trains, laughing and relaxing. 

Yeah thats right, i'm just going to keep praying for the snow storms. Because they will always come! 

So thank you Storm Ion, for giving me, giving us, another great moment. 

New Years Kiss! It happened okay :)
