Not my favorite season
I hate winter. Really, I do. Granted, it can be beautiful with tree branches dusted in snow & how the snow sparkles like glitter in the sun, but I still hate it. It's cold. Being cold is so uncomfortable. We don't do any winter sports so we're stuck inside, sitting & putting around the house. Boring!
This morning Logan & I were supposed to meet some other moms at the mall & let our kids run around in the play area. It snowed last night & this morning creating an ice rink on the streets. Bill almost rear ended someone on the way home from work & suggested that we stay home. I've driven in the snow once. I think that was last Friday. I did OK, but slid around a bit. I do not want to risk getting into a car accident because I'm not a competent winter driver just to get out & about.
So, I hate winter. I'm counting the days until spring when I feel like I'm not risking our lives on the streets & we can run around at the park, take walks, go on family hikes & camping trips. We can play out in the back yard feeding birds & squirrels. We can take naps in the hammock that we got for Christmas. I can wear one layer of clothing rather than three. Seriously. I can't wait.
Our Roots
- Kristin
- Colorado
- I married my soul mate 10 years ago. We got married very young & we are very thankful that we did despite what other opinions may have been. It gave us a chance to grow up together & learn how to ride life's roller coaster ups & downs as a team. We had some good friends & adventures in Vegas when we started out. Then we hit a fork in the road & moved to Portland, OR so I could go to school & pursue a career in chiropractic. That's where we learned that sometimes life has plans for us other than our "perfectly mapped out" one. Bill got a promotion that moved us out to Colorado, somewhere he's always wanted to live, but a place where my thoughts of chiropractic school would die. Marriage is all about compromise, so we made the move to bigger & better things. As we continued to be successful at work, it felt like there was something missing. That's when I started to think about having a baby. As a stay at home mom to Logan, life was everything we wanted it to be. Then we were crazy enough to do it again & soon added Carter to the family. This is our adventure raising two boys in the Rocky Mountains.

It was 60 degrees today in New York. Tuesday is to be 70.
C'mon over!
Driving in snow freaks me out too! I hated driving in it when we lived in Maryland so I don't blame you for staying indoors, and I certainly don't blame you one bit for wishing for an early spring!
I'm on my way over, Lizzy!
It's 3 degrees right now, the high is supposed to be 37. YUCK.
When life gives you lemons...make lemonaide! You and Logan can bundle up and make snow angels, build a snowman or a little hill for Logan to sled down. What no sled?! Improvise by using an old plastic tub or the top of a plastic storage container.Duct tape makes great handles.Then you can go in and enjoy hot cocoa or warm soup or something together. Life is only limited by your imagination. As for driving in the snow, go to an empty parking lot and practice stopping and sliding and turning. You will be an expert in no time.-Ilene
Oh my gosh I'm right there with you...I am so over the whole "snow is pretty" thing, I'm just DONE with winter and cannot wait until we can go to the park and go walking on the trail again! I'm so sick of winter I could scream...I also HATE being cold, I'm ready for T shirt weather!! Come on Spring!!
