It was 30 degrees with a windchill down around 20....and opening day for GW Baseball moved forward as planned! Here's the schedule if you're in the DC area or want to watch games that are streamed online: GW Baseball Schedule. Chris watches the game vigilantly, running out on the field to treat injuries and to take the umpires water. The team split their first two games against NJIT in a double header on Saturday. The baseball guys and coaches love him! We are excited for another GW Baseball season!
While the games were finishing up, I went home and made dinner for Chris, and surprised him with a little Valentine's Day set up and dinner with Martinelli's. We had a relaxing night in, and it was perfect! The heart made out of post-its is one of my Valentine's Day surprises to Chris! But Valentine's Day came a day early for me. I was having a crazy day at school. During 5th period, one of our ESL kids who only speaks Arabic, had wandered somewhere and it was NOT to class. So I was running around school looking for him and bumped into one of the ladies from the front office who was looking for me. A box had been delivered to the school from Shari's Berries....which I had no idea what that company was. She told me I got some strawberries, and I thought someone had bought them for me via a school fundraiser. When I opened the box, there was a sweet note from my sweet husband wishing me a Happy Valentine's Day.
On Sunday, I had quite the adventure at church. Due to high winds and subzero windchills, the electricity at the church was out. The generator was turned on, which gave the church partial electricity. While the Sacrament was being passed, there was this odd smell in the chapel, and the chapel was getting a little foggy/smoky, but not enough to cause a panic. After the Sacrament was passed, the leader conducting explained that the generator has/had a small fire and was smoking, so we were going to say a closing prayer and leave. As we left, the firetrucks pulled up. At first just a few, then more sirens....6 trucks plus two ladder trucks! The police shut down the block of King St. that the church is on. I snapped a picture from my car of the firetrucks in front of the church, and the one of the missionaries, Elder Severe, who we've been meeting for the last few months, took a picture with the firetruck behind him!
Now we are enjoying the winter storm Octavia. I have a snow day tomorrow, making my three day weekend a four day weekend! We are expecting 4"-8" of snow tomorrow by tomorrow morning!!!!
