Snowed in

Well, we had a mission to Arian a little base down south and as soon as we got there we were hit by a GIANT snowstorm. It snowed all night and all the next day. We probably got about 3 or 4 feet. It was CRAZY. So we couldn't do mission. So instead we played spades and watched ALOT of movies. To give you an idea how small this base is, it has no MWR, no internet, a TINY gym that is filthy and not worth using, and the chow hall didn't serve lunch so we ate MREs for lunch every day. Also, the bathrooms would shut down because there was no water so none of us took showers for the 6 days we were there. This is all the movies we/I watched.

LOTR(Trilogy)(Us)
The Fugitive(Us)
The Island(Us)
Spaceballs(I)
Pirate Radio(I)
Men Of Honor(I)
Cape Fear(Us)
Die Hard(I)
The Ugly Truth(Us)


I know we watched more, but I can't remember them. I was just happy we got to watch all the LOTR movies(yes, it did take all day) and there was ALOT of spades being playing and I read almost my whole Fablehaven book(last one! Woot!)

Anyway, that's all that. We're back now and hopefully I'll be back soonish. I'm getting pretty excited.

  1. Wow, that's crazy! Did you build a snowman?
    I think it sounds fun, even if you were in a weird, small base - maybe that added to the charm of the whole experience? :/
    So glad you are getting close to being done!
    We love you!

  3. That's a lot of snow! When I was verry sick during this last pregnancy I watched all the extended editions of LOTR. It made it better to be sick! I'm so sad for you that Harry is gone now! Life is soo much better with good friends around. I feel for you. Oh, isn't Fablehaven good? I'm glad you're reading them. Also, I totally understand your Peter Pan complex. Take it easy when you get back, and after a while you will naturally want to start doing something productive after a while. Or you will run out of money. Either way, you will move on. :) There, wasn't that inspiring? Love you!!!

  4. It snows there?! I just thought it was always hot and dry and desert like! Crazy. That is a TON of snow! Sounds like a kind of fun break from the norm though.
