Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

I actually hated snow. Ever since I learned how to drive, snow has been the bane of my existence. It’s cold, it’s slippery, it’s dangerous, and I just hate it. Being at BYU didn’t help, either. Utah may brag that they have “the best snow on earth,” but when you’re trudging through it in your tennis shoes to get to an 8:00am class, and trying your best to hurry without slipping and falling down, it pretty much sucks.

But I have to say, moving out to Virginia has completely changed my attitude towards snow. You know what the big difference is? In Virginia, they CANCEL SCHOOL WHEN IT SNOWS. BYU should try that—- I bet everyone would be a lot happier!

So when it snowed all Tuesday morning, I was delighted when Craig called to say that he had a half-day and would be coming home after lunch. It turned out that he also got Wednesday off, and a two-hour delay on Thursday, so it was a good week as far as I was concerned. As soon as Craig arrived home, he and Bentley headed outside to make a snowman, something which Bentley was very excited for. Eventually Kendra and I joined them, but only for a little bit. My newfound love of snow doesn’t extend to actually spending much time in it—- I mostly like to enjoy it from inside, wrapped up in blankets, drinking hot chocolate and enjoying having my husband home with me. Who could ask for anything more?
