since it snowed today...

I thought the absolute best thing I could post about today was that it did in fact SNOW several times, throughout the afternoon and evening. As of now, our entire tennis court is covered in white diamonds sparkling in all their powdery glory. Alas, the beauty of Utah has returned. I am from Michigan. I am no stranger to snow. I grew up cursing snow. Loathing it, to be quite honest. I hated the cold, it is so much worse when you live in 80% humidity. I promise. Ask any missionary who served in Detroit aka my husband and he (or she) will tell you that MI snow is in no way comparable to UT snow. It's wet, the air is wet. It's almost as if your bones are literally frozen inside your body! I know, exciting right! Not to mention the volume of the snow itself, just take my word for it.

Growing up in this climate we were on the constant search to find apparel that somehow kept us dry, and warm. North Face Jackets still reign supreme in the mitten, often accompanied by a trusty hoodie underneath. Most likely from your collection you acquired throughout college, or if you're feeing really nostalgic your Van Hoosen Middle School track hoodie (we all loved them, and only tried out for the team to get one. cool!) Another popular choice was The Birkinstock Clog. Yes, I said clog. Yes, as in the shoe with no back. and YES we did wear them all year round but mostly in the winter. Help me make sense of that? So you walk out of your house in the morning to brush the two feet of snow off the top of your car and windshield, that is covering the inch thick layer of ice which could only be broken by smacking it with your ice scraper... wearing a pair of shoes with no back? We sure were smart! I remember days of walking into school with my heels absolutely frozen, and my socks soaking wet. Those were the days. Then a miracle happened. UGG boots! I at first thought they were hideous, and chose to stick with my backless option, but as they grew more popular at school and among all ages I began to like them. Suddenly I found myself in love with UGGS! I went and bought two pairs! A normal sandstone tall classic, and a sundance II. One even had rubber soles. NO MORE FROSTBITE! Since then [2005] UGGS have come a long way! So now to the purpose of this post...

Glory Glory Alleluia, the clouds open and beauty was poured out upon us. Well at least in my opinion.
