It rarely crosses my mind that this blog can and will be used in the future to look back at the lives Mike and I led as newlyweds and beyond. It's mostly to fulfill my love for writing and has become a hobby I happen to be more successful with than, well... scrapbooking. Thankfully, other bloggers do remember this key point and mention it often in their blog posts helping me to realize, there are some things I will want to remember years from now.

For instance, this crazy weather we're having these days.

I decided to take a screen shot of the forecast to keep here on the blog as a frame of reference. I have to say, I don't know how to take this uncharacteristically warm weather. On one hand, it's great. I can't help but think of all those classroom teachers out there who have to be thanking the heavens above their students can get out and enjoy recess during the day when usually January is filled with indoor recess days thus making teachers want to bang their head against a wall. On the other hand, I'm a winter kinda gal. I love snow and cold weather. I was so looking forward to playing in our backyard especially since we actually have one this year. Unfortunately, when the forecast looks like this...

making snow angels would be completely impractical and probably decrease our chances of getting to know any of our close neighbors. Am I crazy for wishing for snow? I'm not sure but I not know one thing is for certain, a winter without snow is unfathomable to me. Let it be known, this gal is openly hoping for one good snow fall. You know... to make some really great snow angels, what's winter without snow angels?
