Welcome to Virginia!

We were so grateful to make it to Buena Vista after our long ordeal in the snowstorm. We were stuck in a hotel in Bristol, Virginia for 2 nights because the roads were closed from the storm of the decade! We were in a traffic backup for 5 hours ( 3 hours standstill) while the snow was just coming down. Cars were stuck everywhere. We even had to use Pringles cans as temporary toilets in the car! Lovely…

The main hall at SVU was such a sight for sore eyes

Does Virginia usually have that much snow? That's crazy! (And cold with the humidity, right?) So glad you are safe. Enjoy your new surroundings!

Melissa! My dad is in Buena Vista! Is Hyrum going to be teaching there? I visited there last October and loved the campus and the feeling there! How awesome! My dad is Charles Jolley and helps raise funds for the school-- I'm sure you'll meet him-- it's a small town :) It is good to see your sweet growing family!
