This is why I lived in Vegas!!

What an eventful afternoon I had yesterday! I went for a much needed girls lunch with my good friends, Ashlee and Staci, to good ol' Chili's! We had some yummy food and then decided to venture out and take Staci to Scrooge & Marley's. A home decor place in Lehi!(They usually have the same things as Rod works, but cheaper!) Anyway... we went there and then decided to go to the oh so girly store, Dear Lizzie, up in Alpine. As we were driving to Dear Lizzie it stated to look like it was going to snow. Not an abnormal day for us here in Utah. So we are in the store looking around at all the cute and oh so expensive, girly things and BAM! It is a blizzard outside. A complete white out! You can't see the car in front of you. Well, we were trying to decide which way to get home. Should we take Alpine Highway (usually the fastest way) or go around and take the freeway? So we decided to try to brave Alpine Highway! Mind you we have 2 precious pieces of cargo in the car, 2 little baby boys!! Crew, 2 months old & Easton, 4 months old. So we turn onto the highway, What were we thinking??? You can't see anything...literally! It was so scary that we decided to turn right back into the parking lot and go a different route. While almost getting hit by cars that didn't have their lights on, idiots I tell you idiots, we managed to get back into the parking lot! So we decided to go the other route, Plan B... the freeway! So we get onto the freeway and it is bumper to bumper going about 3 miles per hour! We are on the freeway for about 2 hours before we get off on our exit, which by the way was only 2 exits away from where we started. we finally get to the light to turn right and everyone is stuck. Tires are peeling out, cars are sliding everywhere, and our windshield wipers are ICE!! So now I get out of the car in the 70 mph winds to try to get the ice off the wipers and the window. Could we say FREEZING?? And the best part is that I was in heels! So we get the windshield to the point where we can see out of it and try to go around everyone that is stuck. Stac manages her way around all the chaos, until the next light that is. So now we are at the entrance of where we live and we can't get up the hill. After getting stuck twice already, almost getting hit by 3 cars, and some whining from the back seat, we are stuck AGAIN! This time it's major! We can't make it up the hill without assistance. Thank goodness for the 7, yeah you heard me right the 7 men, that had to basically push us up the hill. Not a small task. it took one hour to get from the entrance to the stop sign, which isn't very far. Needless to say we didn't stop at the stop sign! At this point Crew hadn't eaten in 5 almost 6 hours. For everyone that breast feeds, you know what kind of pain i was in being that full!!! OUCH! The good news.... we got home SAFE! Maybe not fast but at least we were safe! What an incredible day! One we won't forget that is for sure! So here are some pictures from when we got home. They don't give it any justice but they do show the white out! When is it going to be summer again????
