Snow in Texas.....

Snow in Texas is so funny! It's gone as soon as it lands usually. The only problem is if the temperatures get low enough it leaves ice...which Texans DO NOT know how to drive in. It always cracks me up how things start closing as soon as the weatherman even says the word snow!!! After church, Aileen and I went home, Alan had to stay for meetings etc... and when he came out he had a flat tire!! All of his tires have needed replacing and we had even talked about how he just needed to go do it....but he hadn't yet. So here he is in a suit, with slushy snowy weather needing to change a tire! Enter the hero's of the day.....the missionaries! They changed his tire for him to the "donut"and Bro. Denti, helped him find a tire place open on Sunday (Ox in the mire kind of thing, however we may have pushed the ox in as we should have taken care of it before now - we will repent) and he drove there and yes all his tires were so bad, as we knew they were, he got 4 new tires!!!

Friday Allison went in for major dental work - infected wisdom tooth pulled and some other major things so she was sedated and needing someone to care for her. With John and his classes, having just started a new job at the MTC, a BYU track meet on Saturday morning for his college course in athletic training that he had to work, etc... he was not going to be able to be with Allison through this ordeal. Anne Marie, my amazing oldest, took the day off of work to be with her and to help over the weekend. I love that my children are there for each other!! It was also a great comfort to be able to call Anne Marie and get status reports etc. throughout the weekend. Thanks Anne Marie for being such a great big sister!!!

But then, poor Anne Marie, Sunday night after coming back from Provo, to Salt Lake one of her engine lights came on in her car....so now she has to go to the repair shop Monday morning (today) and see what they think is causing this!!! Oh, I pray it won't be anything too serious for her. I think she deserves a break after being so good to her sister all weekend!
