I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...

OK...so that's a lie. I hate when it snows here. People freak out and traffic is ridiculous. Growing up I loved the snow. What was better than heading out all bundled up and either making a snowman or flapping up some snow angels? And nothing beat boys vs. girls tackle football...where of course the girls always won!!! Back then we didn't have a care in the world. We would go out for hours at a time and come home expecting nothing more than a hug and a mug of hot chocolate. I haven't been a big fan of snow the last few years...mostly because of the idiot drivers who can't handle their cars in it. But lately I've kind of started to think about how snow made me feel when I was little. It started a few weeks ago when we got a few inches and we took Kona outside for the first time. It was like watching a little kid in the snow for the first time. He absolutely loved it...running around, digging his nose in. He didn't have a care in the world and I remember when it was like that for us. Now, there are so many things that keep us pre-occupied. Jobs that suck and bills that never go away! Pressure to come up with the perfect Christmas present while fighting angry crowds at the stores. It can make it that much harder to get in the Christmas spirit. But this year has been differeing. This year just seems extra special because it's my first Christmas with Glenn (and Kona of course). This has been such an amazing year so far and I can only imagine what is coming up in our near future. I have so many new and old friends in my life and feel so blessed with where I am at right now. I hope everyone is having a good Christmas season so far. Not really sure what, if anything, this blog said cause I kind of just rambled. But that's the whole point isn't it??

I feel the same way about snow. Mainly because we just got almost a foot yesterday. Most people here can handle the snow but it sucks when we get that much. Hope you have a great one!
