Driving mom's minivan down the expressway at 60 mph with two mattresses and two bikes strapped to the top, I hit the blizzard around Grayling. Normally, I would only be about an hour from home, but I had to slow down to 40 mph due to the weather. My neighbor packed most of my stuff into the van (bless him!) and I couldn't see anything but a red suitcase behind my head. I had planned to take two suitcases and a backpack home, but that obviously didn't work out. Instead, I packed way more stuff that I will ever need with the lifestyle I will have.
As I drove with white knuckles down the expressway, I thought about how much I will miss my amazing friends that I left in Ann Arbor. And I also thought about how it will be to be home, and how happy I would be to hug my little angel. So I drove through the news-worthy blizzard and was greeted by my smiling angel, who was happy to see her mommy.
Unfortunately, the power at the farm went out that night. My mom, Ava, and I went to a hotel so that we wouldn't freeze. Ava asked if the hotel was our new home. Oh Ava, just wait and see what life has in store for us!
