I'll be missin' you

After spending last weekend in Utah for a wedding, I have compiled a list of things I do not miss about living there. In no particular order:

  • snow
  • shoveling walkways and driveways
  • driving in snow/ice
  • getting to work late because of aforementioned shovelling and/or road conditions
  • snow
  • making sure each vehicle has a snow brush & scraper
  • brushing snow off the car
  • scraping ice off windshields & windows
  • snow
  • buying the kids whole new wardrobes each time the season changed
  • spending money on heavy coats
  • putting a baby in a car seat while wearing a heavy coat
  • snow
  • walking in heels in snow/ice and being limited to close-toed shoes for 4 months of the year
  • the salty/sandy buildup that was present on all vehicles all winter long
  • paying half my salary to Questar Gas
  • snow
  • having to entertain the kids indoors while they were off school for Christmas break
  • frozen hands, feet, ears, etc.
  • frozen pipes
  • last, but not least, SNOW

Happy winter to all from a balmy 75 degree day in December!

And to think from the title I was expecting a sentimental post! You never disappoint, Emily. I'm with Sara on this one- I love snow up until Christmas and then starting in January, I wouldn't mind a nice balmy 75 degree day!

Oh I totally thought ALL those things this Christmas! I was so glad to get home. Even though we got home at like 1 AM I still made us get up and go to the beach the next morning to celebrate the warm weather. Poo poo on snow and cold- it always sucks even if it is Christmas!
