Snow Removal is Fun when you are watching

O.K., so we finally made it up to the cabin to stay overnight with some of the Chaffins. We really went up to clear off snow because the bishop who lives next door was worried about how much was accumulating. I had fun watching Jared, Marc, Dad, Jennifer, and Mom clear snow while I sat in the car with the kids. It took them about six hours to clear most of the snow off the cabin and then four hours the next day to clear maybe half the snow off the shed. It was unbelievable how much snow there was. Mom was worried about the windows getting broken in by the drifts so she got busy clearing around those and putting boards up. It was a lot of work but I think they all had fun too. We played cards and pulled the kids around on their sleds. We watched a dumb movie on the old tv upstairs and Mom put elvis cds in the dvd player and danced with the kids. It was great. On the way home we got stopped on the flats about a mile from the cabin where a semi had been taken out by a snow plow and went off the road. The front of the semi was crunched in half and it took a while to get it off the road so Marc, Jen, and Jared got out of the cars and slid around on the sheet ice. We stopped at Big Juds on the way home and it was just as greasy as I remembered. All in all it was a memorable trip. We hope to do it again soon with all the Chaffins (and Caywoods and Corbetts) and without all the work. Love you guys, Mary, Jared, and Brody

Hey All...

Hello everyone, we didn't get to the cabin in Island Park last weekend as planned and Jared has been moping around the house all week. Hopefully those that live around here can all go up this weekend, eh? Unless the weather is like it was last weekend. There is so much snow that the school and the city can't quite keep up and we get stuck in our parking lot daily. Anyhoo, we are still looking for an internship this summer and it is getting really stressful. The school pretty much lets the students find there own internships and, so far, we have not had any interviews with perspective employers. Maybe if everyone prays for us we will find something soon! I guess that's all there is to report... not a whole lot is going on lately... Love you all, Mary, Jared, and Brody
