I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

I woke up this morning to find...snow!!! I was ecstatic. It has taken me moving away from Utah to a place where freezing temperatures warrants warning signs and extreme measures taken, to appreciate snow. I never thought I would say that since I was one of the people growing up in Utah who hated the long winter months and suffered from seasonal depression every January through March, but I miss the snow! I now have come to appreciate all the seasons and welcome most of the changes they bring. I have figured out that getting in the festive Christmas spirit is a lot harder when temperatures are 65 degrees (even though the weather in Nov. was amazing). I want snow!! I want to sit by a fire and drink Stephen's hot cocoa. I want to take a nap in the glow of my Christmas tree lights and know that it is cold and dark outside. I want to take Aiden sledding and play in the snow. How happy the brief snow flurry in Bedford, TX has made me. I just pray that when I get to Utah in 2 weeks, I get some snow!

I'm excited you guys are coming! Gustavo is taking off almost all 2 weeks of my Christmas vacation so hopefully we can find a time to hang out. Beccy and I also talked about getting together and having a girls night or something. I'll call you. Only 19 more days until Christmas- YAY!

It snowed while I was visiting my Dad and it made me really homesick for Holidays in Utah. Thanksgiving was soooo fun. Wish I could be there for Christmas too!
