Counting My Blessings: Snow Day

About seven years ago, Bethel College canceled classes on a Thursday because of inclement weather. I imagine responsible college students used that free day to catch up on reading or at least to finish a paper. I remember doing nothing of the sort. Instead I spent the day laughing, talking, and just being with the other girls on my dorm floor. The weather was so bad we weren't supposed to leave our dorm, so we found ways to entertain ourselves.

It may seem odd that seven years later I still think about that snow day, but it turns out that day was more than just a break from normal classes. That snow day was the beginning of my friendship with Luci, who seven years later is one of my very closest friends.
