Oh my goodness what a nightmare! We are in Iowa so I can relate. I love that you got those breaks, since it can be rough going otherwise! An hour is not too bad with weather and spring break traffic too. LOVE the stickers on the side - great page!!
Oh I love how you turned this template into a photoless layout. I love the layers and all the clusters.
I loved reading the journal... I hope Winter is over for you really soon!
