New Year's Adventure

I have to say since I have known Cara I seem to be more "adventurous". Some examples- Driving 3 hours, by myself to spend one night with a friend, packing up and driving myself and 2 kids on an hour notice, and then there's today's adventure. Her and her husband invited us for New Years Eve but we had already made plans. Then she invited us for New Years Day, which included the U of M game and Prime Rib dinner. I got up this morning and watched the weather and traffic and about 10 decided that it may be ok to go. So we left our place at 10:40 and started our drive. The drive started out normal and then we hit Troy. That's when the roads we terrible. At one point a car splashed snow and ice on the windshield and Neil couldn't see to drive. After Flint the roads were ok again. Made it to Cara's at 1:15- not too bad. We settled right in to the game and snacks. At half time we started dinner and it was great- Prime Rib, Sweet Potato Fries, Cheesy Grits, Salad, Devil Eggs and Grilled Veggies ( Sorry I took no pictures but I know Cara did and I am sure that you can view them on her blog- http://carascreations.blogspot.com/index.html ) After dinner we went back to the end of a great game and win by U of M. We then packed up and started our journey home. Needless to say the roads tonight made this morning look tame. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get home on a drive that should only take about 2 hours. A ton of spin outs and we even got to see an SUV - who was going far to fast and then proceeded to cut off another car- hit the center wall. I forgot to say that this occurred only 4 cars in front of us. I also have to say that I Love my husband and the fact he has a lot of patience- especially for my side seat driving! So I am thinking if the first day of the New Year was this adventurous then what do the other 364 days have in store.
