Adventures!!

Hi Everybody!!

I Know, I know, I've been very very very bad in not blogging for so long but im hoping to make up for it now. Since I last blogged I've been on so many cool adventures and have done a ginormous amount of traveling.

Seth, his cousin and I went to Michigan for them to look at a machine. We drove through Chicago, though Indiana into Michigan. I slept the majority of the time. I was quite cozy in the back with heaps of blankets and pillows. We stopped and had an AWESOME breakfast at Denny's and then drove a few more hrs until we got to our destination. Then, after maybe an hour stop we started to travel home. I guess we travelled for about 24hrs straight. On the way home we went over one of the great lakes - it was cool. About an hr away from home it started to snow REALLY heavy. You could only see about 3metres in front of you and we were going about 15mph. Thankfully the snow lightened up enough to drive home.




Anyways, the next day, we woke up to about 10 inches of snow! It was so cool. Seth and I got to go ploughing again - more driving - lol. The snow was really heavy and hard to push so it took a little longer to plough. We got another 8 or so inches the next night too so we had ALOT of snow!! We got to do all the mobile phone towers and were done just before it snowed again! We got another 6 or so inches so we got to plough everything again. We spent about a week straight driving. lol. It's not too bad though. I only felt sick once from going back and forth back and forth.


Here are some pics of the snow


Pictures of me shoveling some snow.

Pretty snow

Life is going great! The weather is slowly warming up so it seems like more of an Australian winter. The snow is all melting already. There is so much water and mud around! It's looks like everyone has their own personal lake in their backyard. I've been going with Seth these last few days to work which is fun. I get to hand him stuff : - ).
Anyways, I had better go, I'll try to blog more frequently.

You guys are awesome!!

Ploughing!

HI!

We got more snow last weekend!! It was snowing when we went to church, and I got to shovel the snow of the footpath. It was so fun except my hands were frozen by the time I had finished. I kept snowing for ages...and we got about 4-5 inches.


Seth is contracted to plough about 40 mobile phone towers so we had to plough all of those. We left on Sunday after church and ploughed till late and we ploughed for the next 3 days. All up we did about 1900kms!!! How crazy is that!! We didn't leave Wisconsin but we travelled around and saw heaps of cool stuff. It's so fun to see the snow come off the plough. It's strange but it doesn't seem like we travelled that far because you stop all the time and get out and stuff. It's much easier than just straight driving.


Nearly every house has icicles hanging off the roofs! It's so werid. I got Seth to grab one from somewhere so I could eat it. We took some pics of me with my icicles......



KEEP SMILING!
