wimpy

so i have been lonely all weekend because chris left me to go to pennsylvania for another med school interview on saturday. he gets back tomorrow and i have been trying to do lots of things to keep myself busy: shopping, baking, traveling to grandma's house, hanging out with old roommates....etc. of course, nothing beats hanging out with chris. sunday afternoon i drove the 60 miles up to grandma's house to spend the night and hang out. i was planning on just sleeping over and then getting up early to drive to work. when the 10 o'clock news guy said that a massive snow storm was supposed to hit around 1 am i started to get nervous. i have never really drove around in the snow {my first winter with a car i was married and have had chris drive me around whenever the weather is bad} and needless to say, it makes me quite nervous. i know that not only am i inexperienced, but there are thousands of other BYU students who are equally as inexperienced driving around as well. so when i woke up this morning to a blizzard and 4 fresh inches of snow on the road, i called into work to tell them i wouldn't be in today. now i've been thinking all day if that was a good decision or not. was i being a complete wimp for not braving the roads? i didn't end up leaving my grandma's house until around 2:30 and by then most of the roads were clear {except patches of standing water and slush} but i still saw 7--and no i'm not exaggerating--cars that had crashed or slid off the road. so even though i was out the wages for the 4.5 hours i would have worked today, i consider my safety worth it.
