I'm a fan of snow

So, I've lived in California my whole life and I've enjoyed the weather immensely. However, I'm learning to love the sight of freshly-fallen snow. I hate slush, dirty snow, and ice, but fresh powdery goodness is delightful. See picture:

Halloween, snow, and everything in between.

One thing I really love about Provo is the display of the seasons. The fall leaves have all disappeared now, but when they were present, boy, were they lovely.

It was during this time that my roommates and I dressed up for Halloween:


If you need any help figuring out what we are, we are: Dorothy, Doll, Hermione, and Jamaican bobsledder.

Meanwhile, I counted down the days until my wonderful brother, Jonathan returned from the Argentina, Resistencia Mission. He arrived on November 7, 2009 and it was a wonderful reunion.



The reunion was short, but I anxiously counted down the days until Thanksgiving when I would return, yet again, to Southern California. My roommates all left 3 days before me which made for a lonely weekend. It was then that I decided to make some crafts!
It was finally my turn to head home where I spent time with some old friends and family
and enjoyed the most beautiful weather
I tried to take a picture with Jonathan but he insisted on looking at the road...
After a week I returned to Provo, and shortly after there were no more leaves to be seen but this instead...

Despite the fact that I'm freezing, the snow is beautiful and I really am grateful for the seasons in Provo =).
