SNOW DAY!!!

We had a snow-day on Friday and it was wonderful! I just have to say that it's great to be an adult and still have the giddy pleasure of checking school's website to realize that classes have been cancelled due to the wonderful blanket of fluffy ice that has made driving conditions miserable. Last year in Seattle there was actually a lot of snow, and SPU had 3 or 4 snow days....but I was a year too late! I was graduated and in the real world and sloshing through dirty and slushy snow to get to the bus stop so that I could get to my job on time - because who cares if it takes three hours to get to work? Somebody still has to be there to answer the phones...ARGGHHGG!!! So this snow day I did it right - James and I stayed in bed until 11:00AM listening to new bands on iTunes and reading for fun and watching the snow flakes gently cascading outside our window. And I still had plenty of homework that I could have done at home without driving anywhere, but for some reason the "snow day" merited total laziness in my mind. So after getting up and making pancakes and eggs and coffee, I crawled back into bed and worked on this blog and read my Bible and journaled....it was pure bliss!

So it's a few days after the wonderful "adult" snow day, and the snow has started to melt, but it's still there and James and I decided to enjoy it before it's totally gone. We took a little study break this afternoon and went for a walk around the golf course behind our apartment, and strolled along the canal as we crunched along in the snow. I realized how much I LOVE crunching in the snow...it actually might be more satisfying than crunching leaves in the fall. I even got James to join me in the crunching!
