snow strom rediculousness

We are fully aware that driving when the state tells you the roads are too dangerous is a bad idea.

Fully aware. We just feel like it's a waste of awesomeness.

{note that we do both have 4 wheel drive so we are not out there like complete idiots, only partial}

Today's adventure was traveling all over central Virginia to look at houses we may or may not be interested in buying because we may or may not be adult enough to buy a house and may or may not be willing to commit to anything that big.

Since it is two days before payday we had to pay for our fuel with quarters.

{which Jay made me do alone in the gas station because he thinks paying for things with quarters is embarassing, I think it's just helpful to stores by giving them lots of useful change}

{our idea of fuel}

We then looked at a foreclosed house that we had trouble getting to because county workers had blocked the road to apparently have a snowfight... I am happy they love their jobs. Jay may not be.

{not so excited Jay}

But thankfully our round-about trip let us see some of God's awesomeness... trees in C'ville are nothing like trees in the Pacific Northwest... they are NOT used to this snow so they are really struggling.

Once we finally arrived at the perfect foreclosed house we realized it was directly under 64 (the interstate) and across from a chemical waste facility. We decided kids have enough stacked against them these days and we wouldn't do that to our future children, so we turned around only to get stuck behind 3 cars/farm trucks/idiots {unlike us} who were driving in the snow. It seemed like a disaster until our savior came...

So after more hours than I would like to admit we found some beautiful houses but more than that we found some beautiful Virginia.

{a good day.}
