Out in Utah

Greetings and salutations from snowy Logan, Utah! Kimberly and I traded turns driving during most of Friday night, and we arrived here at Kimberly's parents' home at about 12:30 PM on Saturday. Why did it take so long? Well, at about 1:00 AM, I could tell that I was starting to fall asleep, so I pulled off into a gas station and zonked out for about an hour and a half before Kimberly woke up and started driving again. Moreover, we stopped for about a half-hour in Provo to see my parents before driving the last two hours up to Logan.

Yesterday (Sunday), Kimberly's youngest sister Karolyn gave her farewell talk in church--she has been called to serve as a missionary in Russia! She will enter the missionary training center on Wednesday, and after a 2-month training period she will head out to Russia for 16 months. We're all equally excited and freaked out for her.

It's been fun hanging out with Kimberly's family and extended family for the last couple of days. Today (monday), things should calm down quite a bit, and hopefully I'll get some time to write/draw/relax. (pshaw, fat chance.)

I've missed seeing snow during the winter. After living in Houston, TX for 5 years, and now 3 years in Southern California, I've spent many winters with no snow at all. :( Yeah, you can say what you like about snow being cold, dirty, slushy, messy, etc., and I would probably agree with you, but I really love waking up in the morning and seeing the world blanketed in a beautiful white.

Snow is nice until you have to go somewhere. Then it becomes white flakes of doom. :)

Makes me wish that it snowed more in my area, but, as it is, we get enough snow to cause enough trouble around here.
(though we've been getting more snow recently than we've gotten before, and the general panic level for snow has been dropping steadily, which is probably a good thing)

^^ Atleast you have fun, that's the main thing. I sometimes like to see some snow like the Biggest snowstorm of 2007. "Oh Boy!" If I was a still a Kit, I would love it.

Five Buck says you sometimes you wish to make a snowman again huh?

Going all the way over to Russia? O.O That's scary... She'll be so far away!

And good for you enjoying your snow. I only like snow when there's a lot of it and the surface freezes and you can skate on it with just your regular shoes.

Let's see, 2 months of training plus 16 months of Russia... that's over a year, right? Yeah, I think it is... unless time got all meshed up again.

Gotta go! Time's scrambled up again!
