Hello from Columbus!

So I knew all about this blog, and then I was asked why I haven't written anything. Well, the reason I found was because Jenny hadn't shared the link with me yet! Anyways, all is good now!

So this past weekend Austin and I decided to take a "mini" vacation since Austin won't get much time off for a while after he starts his new job (there is like a 3 month waiting period for time off). So we decided we would rent a cabin up in the North Georgia mountains. It is fairly close, only three hours, and we thought it would be very relaxing. Plus, we would be able to take Jake with us; we always hate leaving him at home when we leave.

So we looked on the vacation rental by owner websites and chose a cabin. The cabin advertised free WiFI, HDTV with satellite, a hot tub, a great mountain view, etc. We were excited. We e-mailed the owner and asked if they were available and if they thought we would have any problems getting to the cabin because of the the huge snowstorm the weekend before. They said we shouldn't have any problem and that the cabin was available! Awesome, this will be fun!

So it is Saturday morning and we decided to leave pretty early so we could get to the cabin early and start relaxing. Also, we had bought stuff to make chili in our new crock pot when we got there. Once we got to Atlanta you could start seeing the leftover bits of the ice and snow that had fallen the previous weekend, and as we drove further north there was more and more, but the roads were fine. So we are making the last turn onto the road the cabin is on, and of course there is snow and ice covering the road (if you could even call it a road). Its ok, my trusty little civic is making it up the hill pretty well, we have to be to the cabin very soon. Oh wait, the car is stuck! No, we are almost there! (Austin did not know at this point in time of my extreme fear of flying off a mountain in a vehicle) So let's just say, I was freaking out. We were not going anywhere. Finally, a truck starts coming down the hill towards us. He stops and tells us that there is no way we are going to make it up to the cabin because the hill only gets steeper from that point on. We might as well back up and go back down the hill. Well crap, that sucks.
