SNOW OUR WAY!

We live in ice central.  The past three years we have had HUGE ice storms... causing school to be out for a week and no power.  With every weather channel calling for bad snow storms coming our way, what do we do?  WE HEAD TO TENNESSEE for a cheerleading competition, of course!  Our oldest, S, has a cheerleading competition in Nashville this weekend, so we have packed our bags, loaded up the kids, and gotten the car ready!  6 out of 8 of us are headed to Nashville for the weekend!  (the oldest two boys decided that they would rather stay with friends and play in the snow storm than go to a boring cheerleading competition for the whole day... I don't blame them:) ) It's snowing like crazy outside and supposed to get worse as the day goes on.  We just plan to drive slowly and carefully.  We'll make it when we can; we aren't rushing!
The little ones are excited!  They get to go visit their cousins in Nashville while S (14) and AG (7) and I hang out with 18 cheerleaders!  Nashville is probably our favorite place to be!  Greg's whole family lives there, and it's such a beautiful city!  S and I love the shopping, too!
The blizzard (as the kids call it) doesn't stop our family!  We are headed out the door... with a few extra outfits in case we get stuck in Nashville (Nashville is supposed to receive a snow storm, also) and lots of movies to watch on the way!

I'll take lots of pictures and, if the camera and laptop cooperate, I will try to upload a few while we are in TN!

I hope everyone stays safe this winter!
Blessings,
Shari
