Mild Winter?

It has finally happened. On December 1st, 2007 it has snowed and stuck in Utah County! It snowed by in September, but forty degrees does not mean it will stick. I label the current snowing situation as moderate. The snow has mixed sizes of chunks. Some are big and some are little. At time it is just a "light dusting" of sorts, but at the moment, the poor guy clearing the sidewalk has to go around every few minutes. I have counting him doing his third walk around. I like snow. I think it is pretty, but when I have to go to the store. The roads are terrible, so I think I will bundle up extra warm and walk there. It is easier and probably faster and safer to do that anyways. My sister said it is brutal out there. The weather people are saying that the snow will stick around until Monday then come back on Friday. However, weatherunderground.com is saying that we have a snow storm advisory until 2pm this afternoon and then we will have snow tonight and by the time we wake up tomorrow, it will be too warm to snow. The thermometer is reading at about twenty-nine degrees Fahrenheit. I can see it go up past freezing for a bit. I hope it snows all month long. I just don't want single and negative digits like last year. That was just insane. Let's just say..."It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!" Now we just have to put our Christmas tree up and it will be more festive around here with the exception of finals looming.

So, these next few month are going to probably drive me insane. This month is finals and Christmas. I like Christmas, I just know from experience that I will come home and be frantically searching stores to find Christmas presents for everyone and a birthday present for Britt, my little sister. Then in January, I find out if I made a drum corp. I am hoping for Blue Devils although I don't see that happening this year. If not Blue Devils, then Bluecoats or Phantom Regiment would be just as amazing! Even Blue Knights as long as I am marching with someone I know! For those of you who have no idea what Drum Corp (pronounced core) is thinking Marching Band on steriods without the woodwinds. It is quite intense. I would be doing colorguard spending the whole summer spinning, performing, getting tan and just doing what I love. If you want more information about the awesomeness that I call Drum Corp go to www.dci.org. It has all kinds of goodies and information on the different corps! I would recommend you go see it.

Anyways, I have homeowrk to do, a birthday (December 22nd!) and Christmas list to write up and give to Mom, a room to clean, some letters to write and so much more to do! My love to all! Stay warm (I know I will be trying to)!

Hi, Kristen,

It snowed here today, too, and BOY were the boys excited! I, on the other hand H-A-T-E snow. Hate it hate it hate it! I think you get the idea. In case I didn't make myself clear, I'll say it again: I HATE SNOW! But, at least this snow came on a weekend when there was no school and work, and it didn't really come down until I was through with errands. Eldon & Jason were out in it all afternoon and were in heaven! It's supposed to melt off tomorrow; I hope it does!

See you soon!
Love,
Aunt Marie
