On Wednesday (Lindsey's Birthday–it might as well be a national holiday), we started our semi-annual tradition of driving up to Idaho. It was quite an event, especially compared to past years. We were out of the house at about 7:30 (on our second try after almost getting to the freeway and having my dad realize he forgot his mp3 player and books). We made it to St. George where we visited my grandma fife and ate at Café Rio. Concerning Café Rio: not as good as I had expected.
After spending about four hours at cousin's house, receiving an early birthday present from rex, and being quizzed on movie lines, we departed once again, destination mink creek Idaho. Didn't quit make it though...had to stop in cedar city. Now, if you've never driven the I-15, you're not quite sure what I'm talking about...but from St. George to Cedar City is about an hour. It took us much longer since we were caught in a snow storm. We barely made it to cedar and stopped between Stratford Court and Best Western. I stayed in the car while the parentals went into the Stratford Court to get us a room. I saw i sign in front of the SC gleaming "FREE HS INTERNET" This was my last chance! For you see, there is no high speed Internet in Mink Creek. I run into the lobby to check my e-mails and respond. So, Lindsey, Melissa, and I are using the computer and playing with the snow in front of the SC when Ii get a call from the parentals saying that they had gone to the BW and got a room there–in the basement...? so I start running from the SC to the BW we get to the BW and are just kinda chillin'(quite literally) in the lobby when I realize I have no phone. I make my sisters trace our steps through the knee-deep snow back along the block we just ran looking for my phone. After asking man-at-front-desk of SC we disappointingly walk back outside. At this point I'm starting to have a panic attack. Luckily, at that exact moment in time, Melissa reaches down and scoops my phone out of a few feet of snow! It was a little frozen, but still worked. A Christmas Miracle!

I honestly did not expect to see a new blog posted because, well, you're in Idaho. Anyways, I was delighted to hear about this Christmas miracle (even though TECHNICALLY it occurred after Christmas... minor detail.), especially because if you hadn't found your phone you wouldn't have been able to text/call me!
Have fun. See you soon!
A miracle indeed.
