Too Soon For Pine Cones And Holly Berries?

Late Saturday night, we received the first snow fall of the 2008 winter season. It was just barely starting to stick when we left Brian's mom's house around midnight. And when we woke up on Sunday morning, this is what was waiting for us...


I couldn't believe how much it had snowed! This first snow storm has given me the "umph" to get into the Christmas spirit early this year. No, I don't have my tree out or lights on the house or anything crazy like that... I just am ready to be holly and jolly. One of the biggest things that puts me in the Christmas spirit is this little experience that happens only in the winter time. And it happened to me on Saturday when we got home. It was about 12:30 and Zoey and I went out for one last potty break for the night, and when I stepped outside, I got an almost spiritual feeling. The snow was falling, it was just cold enough to see your breath and it was completely silent. I LOVE these moments in the winter! I recommend trying it. Happy holidays everyone!

BOO MALLORY! BOO!!! Snow sucks! (I'm seriously living in the wrong state, with that mentality!) I can't believe that it snowed in the beginning of October, and actually stuck! While it may have only been for a day, it still stuck! It's way too early for this. The only time it should snow is Christmas Eve and Christmas. I don't so much care for it after that. No but seriously, don't ya think I should be living in Arizona?

I know can you believe it snowed mid october??!! So crazy. I was in Idaho at the time, so I also got to experience it. As much as I love the AZ weather, there are moments like the one you had with Zoey that make me miss the snow. But that feeling passes real quick after being in it for more than a few days!!
