I'm Baaaaaack

So, got home from Disney/ California Yesterday afternoon. I figured I should update this with my adventures/travels. Unfortunately I woke up this morning with one thought on my mind "I'm gonna throw up".
I didn't. But I still FEEL like it, and it's quite uncomfortable. My stomach is all bubbly.

I'll start with the Drive home. It sucked.
But I'm not a fan of driving. I don't have much experience and I'm not good at it.
I drove from Fresno to St. George the first day, and made pretty good time...I think it was about 8 hours? But I didn't really keep track. The hard part was staying awake. I get bored and daze off.
But, I made it, and stopped and a run down motel in St. George...run by a guy who didn't speak English. He was nice enough, it was just hard to figure out what he was saying. The rooms weren't all that bad considering I only paid 50 bucks for a night, and they had waffles for breakfast, so I can't complain.
I left at about 10 the next morning. It was raining lightly. That lasted all of ten miles. Then I hit a whiteout.
I hate snow.
I had to drive the whole way back to SLC at between 30-40 mph depending on how bad the roads were/visibility.
At one point, I tried to change lanes due to a truck constantly trying to rear end me.
The road turned out to not like that idea, and somehow launched my car FORWARD as I crossed the lines. I was terrified but I somehow managed to get the car off the road and not hit anyone.
Unless you count the snow bank as a person. But I don't. Because I hate snow.
I'm really lucky and glad I'm not hurt and the car wasn't damaged. I was even able to maneuver out of it with 4wd.

So, really lucky and grateful I made it home.

But MAN is it snowy here...There's about 2 feet in the parking lots where they havent' plowed...1 foot where they have.

Not sure where to start with Disneyland. It was definitely a lot of fun, also very crowded.
It's nice to spend time with my family. Even if we don't talk much or about anything significant it just feels good to hang out with them.
It was also nice to go back to Disney the first night with just Dean and hang out. And get ice cream.

Disney was fun and all, but I really just enjoyed hanging out with the family. I'm glad I get to see them again during Christmas.
