snowed in

Yesterday was my first day of finals. yippee!! haha and after that i had made plans to go to a family from the churches house she the mom could dye my hair!! i was so excited! so i get there and we are just talking and the mom is dyeing my hair, and then it starts to snow. No big deal I think. then i realize that it is coming down really hard and fast!! Her sister comes over to drop off some food and tells me that the roads are horrible. GREAT!! i call my dad to see what he wants me to do. It was 4:00 p.m. by then, i got there at 1:00 p.m. He tells me to come home, i thought he was crazy but was not about to fight with him. I tell the family that if i die i am coming back!! I get not even 5 blocks from their house and i have fish tailed like 3 times, ending up in the other lane of traffic, i call my mommy tell her i'm scared to drive home and she tells me to go back and they will pick me up later. I ended up staying at this house from 1:00p.m. until 8:00 p.m. it was ridiculous! but i had so much fun! my dad finally comes, he brings my mom's car that drives better in snow. It took us an hour to get home. They live at 74 we live at 179. it usually takes me
like 30 min. i don't think i went over 25 the whole time! I was relieved to finally get home, when my mom sends me back out to get a gift for her secret Santa thing at work today. I didn't think it would be a problem since i just drove past there and the roads where fine. I get to walgreens all fine, get what i needed and started to head home. I had to cross over traffic to get to the lane i needed, thank god no one was on the road at the time because i ended up doing a 360, plus add 180 to that...so that end up to 540 degree turn really fast! i was scared!! but i had to straighten out again, so as i was trying to get in the right direction i ended up hitting black ice and flew to the right, my car stopped inches from the bar thing that keeps you from falling into a ditch. Mind you i was BARELY going 15 miles per hour the whole time. After almost hitting the bar rail, i fish tail again, and hit the curb.
i finally get straighten out and go home. going like 10 mph the rest of the way.
it was the scariest thing EVER!!
God truly protected me last night!!
