I don't hate snow as much this year...

I'm not going to go so far as to say I love the snow, or even "like-like" it...but huge surprise to me...I don't hate it this year (so far anyway!!)  I even found myself looking forward to it just the teensy-ist bit last week...weird, huh?  Especially after I spent most of Fall dreading it!!

And I don't freak out when snow is forecast.  And I make plans - even though there might be snow.  And I went to a hair appt even though snow was pouring down (if you're going to leave your house for anything in a snow storm it might as well be your vanity!)

Am I becoming acclimated?  I saw this quote the other day and found it very fitting to Utah...

I was chatting to a lady from church the other day and through the course of the conversation, I realized that I am really happy here.  My family is happy here.  My kids love their schools, they have friends, I have friends.  The only part that's lacking is my husbands' job...which I'm holding on to faith that he'll find something more suited to him.  And even with a sucky job, he's still happy to be here.  As much as I miss parts of San Diego (beach), if I'm being honest, I really wasn't happy there - and my family definitely wasn't happy there. 

I really like going for weeks without getting on a freeway, I love that the doctor and the dentist are literally at the bottom of the hill - maybe 5 minutes away (which works really well with my tendency to wait to the last minute to leave)  I still don't go into the big city much - we have most everything we need right here.

In moving here, my physical circle has gotten so much smaller, but my emotional/mental circle has expanded greatly - to include all of you.  A whole new world - one that feeds and expands me and allows me to avoid housework for hours on end :)

It's not perfect - but it seems to be perfect for us right now. Snow and all.  Until February when I start complaining again.
