$%&# snow.

Ok. So, this morning I walk to church. It's literally right over there *points* so that was easy enough. Except it's cold. And wet. And I was on the verge of a panic attack because I'm going to this enormous church all by myself and have no one to sit with.

SO! Church went well, the sermon was good and very thought provoking. I filled out a "Connection Card" because I want to get involved in a small group. When I turned it in this very nice blonde woman gave me a welcome packet that included a CD, a little booklet with church info, and a piece of dark chocolate. "How can you go wrong with chocolate?" she says. "Well, I can't have chocolate," I reply. "I'll just give it to someone."

Hey, anyone want a piece of dark chocolate?

Go home and have quite the afternoon of phone calls with my bestie and the fiance and movie watching. Have a gloriously amazing headache, and the whole time it's snowing like crazy. This morning for church you could still see road. and grass. Not anymore!

Now, at 5:30 there's a young adult service for people in their 20s-30s that I wanted to go to, figuring I could meet and connect with some other Christians and make some new friends. It's also at the church so I'm thinking I can walk there, which is great considering there is now around four inches of snow on the ground. I get all bundled up and start walking over only to find the main entrance is blocked by an automated gate. Wonderful. The other entrance is a bit further away so I go to dig out my car.

Ten minutes or so later I'm driving uber carefully down the drive to the road. Make it to the main drag, head up the street, get stuck at a stop light in the left turning lane. I literally sat there at that light waiting for a good five minutes because the light decided no one wanted to turn left and never gave me a signal.

FINALLY I turn onto the correct road (after nearly getting in an accident because some really intelligent person ran the red light while my green arrow was on. Lovely.) and head down there to the building and found a parking lot devoid of people except for some poor girl whose car had slid into the curb and up onto the landscaping and getting trapped there by a bush. Two other cars had stopped and I watched as two guys and a girl lifted her Mini as she drove in reverse and get her out.

Once she was free I went over and asked if there was even church tonight, considering the parking lot was empty, and no one knew. But considering it was going on 5:40 and it was supposed to start at 5:30, it was most likely cancelled.

So I dug my car out and went through all of that for nothing.

And now I get to sit in my empty apartment and watch the millionth movie of the weekend.

The most wonderful time of the year.

To end on a happy note, I found a couch and a chair for completely free and my dad is coming down with Johnny on Wednesday with all of my stuff and we're also going to pick up the couch/chair and I can FINALLY get settled in! So excited, I actually really like this apartment a lot. :D

Have a great evening, y'all!

I'm just now reading this! As horrible as the whole incident was, it was a highly entertaining read. I commend your efforts to get to church come snow or more snow. I'm glad you like your apartment. :)
