New Respect
So usually I'm pretty good driving in the snow, but today I developed a new respect for mother nature. I left my house around 0540 in the morning, only to discover just how bad the roads were. Apparently it had rained, then turned to sleet, and finally snow throughout the night. I only made it a half mile before spinning around 1 1/2 times and landing in a cornfield/ditch. I was the stereotypical girl that just let go of the steering wheel and screamed because there was nothing else i could do. It took me about 15 minutes to make it out... which was miraculous by any means... but my car and I are just fine. It was my first time drving in the snow on my new road, and I'll never forget it.. I'll be posting some pictures of my new apartment soon. So, lesson learned... never underestimate the snow, OR, overestimate your driving abilities.. and four wheel drive will not save you!

Ok, so this is bad, but I totally cracked up over this. I can SO picture you letting go and screaming just like they do in the movies:) I'm glad you're ok, though- driving in bad weather is scary! Luckily, it doesn't do much here in NC, plus we have a subaru.
