Escape to the Country ~ Start of the Journey – It was a dark and stormy night…. Really, it was!<\/p>\n

That night started my journey to move back to the country.<\/p>\n

As I was coming home from work in early evening, snow was swirling everywhere.<\/p>\n

I could barely see.<\/p>\n

I had actually left work early, as I had heard that the snow was coming.<\/p>\n

Of course, I wanted to get home before the worst of the commute hit.<\/p>\n

Silly me.<\/p>\n

I had seen so many times before the effects of heavy snow during a commute on a freeway, and quite frankly I was too tired to deal with it again.<\/p>\n

On a normal day, I would be home in 40 minutes, resting from a hard day at the office.<\/p>\n

Every day.<\/p>\n

Twice a day I entered into the chaos and maze we call “the commute.”<\/p>\n

I didn’t know that this particular night would be so different.<\/p>\n
