Fantastic Thing No. 5

Short post, but I have to tell you how OpPX went! (See Fantastic Thing No. 4)

It was awesome! :) So instead of leaving at 2:00AM like we originally planned, we actually ended up sneaking out at like 3:00AM Christmas morning to execute Operation: Polar Express. We snuck out to be greeted by SNOW! It hadn’t snowed here all winter so that was exciting (WHITE CHRISTMAS!!), but it also made me really nervous to drive… I love my little Rav4, but it terrifies me in snow. I felt so much more comfortable driving my old Excursion in the snow because it’s this heavy tank that really didn’t slip that often, and it NEVER got stuck. …well, except for one time when I decided to do something stupid, and my dad had to come pull me out… ;)

ANYWAY.

We snuck out and drove over to Orem South Base where we filed into Big Haircut and Effie’s car, and then we all drove to 7-11 for hot chocolate/slurpees. I was a slight nervous wreck the whole time, praying that we wouldn't get in an accident, because the snow was seriously coming down! I didn't want to imagine that phone call: "Hey parents, it's your loving children. I know it's early, but we just got in a car accident and are in the back of an ambulance on our way to the hospital. Merry Christmas!" Yeah, THAT would have gone over well... Good thing none of that happened! We were fine. :) #GodAnswersPrayers 

We went back to Orem South Base and read The Polar Express, and then Squad 2 and I drove home and went back to bed. We took some pictures and videos to document our little adventure, and so my sister made that + a few added clips/pics into this cool action-movie trailer on her iPad, and now we’ll all remember it forever. We still keep it a secret, though! Maybe if my sister lets me steal that trailer, I’ll post it here. Same thing next year? Haha, maybe. :)

Princess Aurora, over and out. :)
