It's cold

It's cold. And there's a lot of snow. Normally, I like the snow, but there like a foot of snow in our front yard. Last wednesday a really bad storm came through and really messed up my day. We lost power from 4 pm until around midnight. The snow was so bad, they closed some of the roads by our house, so it took Julia four hours to get home from Provo. The next day, I got our car stuck getting out of the driveway because of the snow drifts. It took the collective efforts of a few of our neighbors to get us out.

Anyway, I went to my parents house over the weekend for my dad's 65th birthday. Julia stayed home because of school. And she's tired of traveling (even though I do all of the driving). We bought dad 2 RC planes and a simulator so he could practice. Ryan brought a plane he had borrowed from some guy so we had 3 planes in total. It was a suprise party, so dad had no idea we were there. Anyway, when dad got home, instead of practicing with the simulator, we all went outside and "flew" the planes. By flew, I really mean crashed. It took us all of 15 minutes to crash all the planes. It sucked. Since we were done for the day flying, we had a lot of time to practice with the simulator. The next day we got some new parts and flew them pretty much without crashing. It was a fun weekend. Julia wanted me to write something, so I am. So there...

that is funny...why does that not surprise me that you didn't do the simulator? Simulators are for sissies huh?
