New England snow...

Now...I am sitting here trying to understand why everyone says Canadians live in the land where it always snows and the sun never shines and we never get to wear shorts and tank tops and flip flops and go to the beach?! Why?! Have they never visited New England?! I mean...it's only the 3rd week in Jan and we already had 6 snow days....SIX people....that's more snow days than I HAVE EVER HAD IN CANADA. So I know we're close to the north pole...but the amount of snow this area gets is beyond ridiculous...we're already 30 inches above Massachusett's record...30 inches...and winter only greeted us recently and it's looking like it wants to stick around for a while.
Beside the snow and all the snow days I've been having (which have been super awesome if only for the fact that I didn't have to drive to work 2 hours each day!!)...life is pretty amazing. I am on the road to new beginnings (and no..I am not pregnant!!)....God is blessing us beyond anything we would have ever thought possible. I feel so humbled every time I look at all the blessings God brings to my life. And to think that He blesses us and expects NOTHING in return...NOTHING...and yet so many people do not accept that.
As I sit here...half past 1 in the morning...waiting for the Nadal match to start in Australia, I realize how far Australia really is...I mean...when is this game starting?! 4AM??!!!! Oh well...maybe if I moved to California I could watch the Australian open w/out having to OD on coffee at 9pm!!!
I gotta go work on my british accent...DON'T ASK!!!

  1. Oh dahling, we cood move to Behvahlee Hills and have tea with Pinky at the Villa Blahncah! :-D
    I love you - and I hope you didn't fall asleep during the Nadal match. We definitely need to do these late night calls more often. And miracle of miracles, the girls both slept in Saturday morning until 9:30. I'm with you on God's blessings.
