Monthly Trip to Michigan

Last night Jon and I made our monthly trip to Ann Arbor and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. We were not sure we were going to be able to go. On Tuesday, Jon's classes were cancelled until noon. This pushed all his labs back a day, and made it so he would be at school until around 4:30 or 5:00 on Friday. For our plans, we need to leave around 3:00. We had almost decided that we would go the first week of March instead, but Jon said he would try to switch lab times so he would be done at 3:00. Thanks to one of Jon's Anatomy Lab partners, who told the professor that it would ruin Jon and my perfect marriage, they could be done earlier. Thanks so much Lauren!

It is always exciting when we go on our temple trip. This time we did not get lost, and there were no car troubles, which was a really good thing. However other people had car problems. We saw 4 car accidents in various stages of clean up. One was a car that had slid off the road and spun around. Two, which were with in a mile or two of each other, were multiple cars and causing quite a back up. The last we did not see the car, but it was on a small two lane road in Bloomfield Hills. There was a long line of cars. When we got to the problem stoplight, we saw that it was working as a 4-way stop (flashing red lights). As we were finally able to drive through the intersection, I saw why. The big metal box, which is used to control the stoplight, had been flattened in what appeared to be a car accident. Coming from the other direction about a mile back, was a police officer to help direct traffic, but he was about 30 minutes away from the light. It was crazy!

On the way back to Toledo, we hit a small blizzard. It got a little scary. But after a lot of praying, it cleared up until we were pulling into Toledo, and then it was not so bad.
