I Don't Love Snow

Snow. Will it ever end? uh...no. I went out to my car early this morning ready for another bright sunny day when I saw the snow. I was very close to shedding a tear.

The positive side to this situation, it just makes me realize how much I LOVE AZ! I love just about everything about that beautiful place!

Reasons:
-The SUN! so hot, so wonderful
-No snow
-Palm trees
-70 deg. christmases
-Warm rain
-The never-ending blue blue sky
-In the dead of winter all you need is a light sweater
-Everything is still as bright and a live in the winter as it is in the summer
-No snow
-Orange trees in the backyard
-The beautiful scent orange blossoms
-Gecko Grill
-The sun sets
-Sunburns
-Pools
-Monsoons
-The Mesa Temple
-The movie theaters
-No snow

I love good old Gilbert, AZ. I always get so excited at the prospects of visiting home. I have learned to appreciate it and my family so much since moving away.

***Side note***

Today is the exact 6 month anniversary of me moving away to this place they call Cedar City. Its hard to believe that 6 months ago today I started this new adventure. Six months ago today I also met one of my new best friends. My roommate Jenna was the only other one here when I moved in and we became just the best of friends real quick. I really do love it here. I have met so many great people and have made so many memories!
