11 years

i realized today around 2:00, which is actually pretty late in the day, that today is the 11th anniversary of the day my dad died. for some reason those memories flooded back strong and hard when i remembered that that day was a sunday too.  you'd think after 11 years, i would be out of avoidance mode, but avoiding is the main way i deal with everything.  i can't help thinking about all the things my dad has missed.  11 years is a long time.

the snow from last night continued all through the night and into this morning.  i think we had a foot on our driveway.  we have 9:00 church and got a call around 8:45 that the last two meetings were canceled due to the weather.  i think they should have canceled all three hours, especially because the streets were unplowed and nearly undrivable.  i didn't understand the thinking behind getting ready for church, driving there, and then leaving before it was over.  but still, canceling church is so rare and kind of exciting so i'll take two hours--particularly on sundays when i have the sharing time lesson. 

the st. george group (ick, craig & sam) bugged out and headed home around 2:00 this afternoon when rocky mountain canceled all of tomorrow's baseball games because of rain.  it was a bit of a bust for baseball, but they seemed to have fun.

we had dinner at g-dawg's, watched tonight's amazing race and part of the all-star game--our satellite is still down.
