¡Nieve!

For those of you who don't know me- i'll let you in on one thing. I'm basically a five year old at heart, and i'm really not afraid to show it. Sometimes it means that people don't take me seriously, which is their loss because believe me, the 5 year old is just the tip of the iceberg. Digressing...so i find joy in the simple things in life.

One of them being snow. I'm happier than a hurricane in...wait...too soon? Snow makes me happy beyond belief, i just look up and see those fluffy flakes and can't help but stick out my tongue. Snow brings me peace. There is just something about walking around in a muffled world, usually i don't like silence, but i cannot get enough of snow silence. That moment where you walk outside, the snow is slowly falling, and it's like the world pauses for a second. It allows me to breathe and think clearly. Suddenly, for a moment, every problem just melts away and i'm so grateful for the simple beauty of the world around me.

I also enjoy running around in the snow, making snow angels, and making snow ice cream :D 2 Thanksgivings ago i was in Idaho with some friends and my friend Skyler taught me how to make snow ice cream. Grab a bowl of snow and then add some condensed milk and voila! We experimented with flavors, like rootbeer extract...? Also another random fact- I love rootbeer flavored anything. Rootbeer Milkshakes are my favourite! I blame my father for this, he ALWAYS got rootbeer when we went out to eat.

So today, if you are in Utah, appretiate the snow! It's beautiful. Yeah, maybe it's a little cold and the slushy stuff gets in your shoes, but honestly...it's not going to ruin your life. See the beauty of a fluffy snowflake, look up in awe at the gray sky, enjoy a good cup of hot coco- or mate, or any type of tea!, read a book, or listen to chill cd! Snuggle up under a blanket, or heck, cuddle with someone!!!

So be thankful that you have the opportunity to live in such a beautiful world! Even if it's not snowing where you are, look for something about today to be thankful for. Today i am thankful for the snow and the fact that i packed boots.
