First Snow

Here in Utah we got our first (real) snow the other day. I guess my definition of real is when my car has basically become a mobile icicle, you'd never know we have fleets of plows here, and I begin to contemplate buying the spikes for the bottom of my shoes for walking around campus (you know these ones?). But the snow is beautiful and every year I get excited for it. Here's a few snaps from around my neighborhood.

this guy must be freezing!

my new L.L. Bean 'duck boots'- hoping these will help me navigate campus in the snow :) and the camp socks aren't too bad either

Growing up in Maryland, the schools always got shut down if there was even a slight threaten of snow. Once school was cancelled we would all gather up to go sledding and play outside as long as possible before our clothes were soaking wet. My best friend Devin lived across the street from me and we used to go have 'adventures' in the woods behind our houses. Whenever it snows, even though it does a lot in UT, it brings back those feelings of getting lost in the woods and I still get giddy when I see snow in the forecast. 

School is almost over for me, one week of classes and one week of finals, then I make my way across the pond to visit my Grandparents for the holidays. I'm so excited to be in the South of France during Christmas and visiting two of my favorite people.

Are you studying for finals too? Click here for a good laugh (you know you want to procrastinate more ;)
