SNOW!!!!

So, the snow is finally here! It was snowing for a while today and the snow was not sticking at all, but the snow persisted, and lo and behold, the snow stuck! Yeah! I actually really love the snow. I think it makes things look really pretty, especially out in nature. I like driving in it too. Its a fun challenge, but I don't like the scary factor. I feel I'm an ok driver in the snow... especially with my jimmy. Its got 4X4 on the fly, and it comes in handy. That car saved my life so many times in Rexburg... the capital of snow and ice for Idaho. It is a good reliable car, and I'm thankful for it.

This means that the official snow sport season has started for the Inland Northwest. Skiing, snowmobiling, sledding, and so much more! I am dumping my snowboard this year, and gunna try my hand at skiing. I really love snow sports, and I always leave the mountain pissed off after snow boarding. I've been boarding for years, and I still really suck! So I'm gunna try out skiing. I think I'll like it. Steven said that he would take me up this year and teach me. That'll be so sweet!

Not to mention the sledding and tubing ahead! It will be a great winter... although to be honest it feels like its been a short summer. I guess that's what living in Rexburg will do to ya.

There is one downside to the snow today... I still have not put up the Christmas light on the house. I always seem to be that person that is up on the roof putting up the lights in the snow storm. I really hope that his first cover will melt away just long enough for me to get the lights on the house, and deal with the inside stuff while its icy outside. I'm such a procrastinator!

I'm really thankful for the beautiful, and well-rounded four seasons that Spokane has. I love having a taste of each season, and seeing their beauty. Its so inspiring to me to watch the trees change every year. Its almost magic. I couldn't imagine living in a place where it is only one season all year round. I'm sure it would be convenient because of the consistency, but no excitement, and nothing to look forward to when it comes to the changes in nature. I love the four seasons!
