winter is here!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Yay!!! the first snowfall of the year is upon us. I have to revel in it as much as possible since there's a very good chance we won't get tons more. Then again, who knows, maybe this year the snow will keep on coming.

In preparation for the coming winter months we actually got off our butts and rented our ski equipment for the season. In retrospect we probably should have just bought everything last year instead of continually renting it...but we weren't sure we'd want to continue. And this year...well...it just seemed easier to rent. Someone else makes sure your equipment is in good condition, that your skis are waxed...I guess we're just too lazy. But, we're excited that ski season is close at hand.

I'm super excited that my family will be here in 4 short weeks. Time is flying by. Christmas is just around the corner and it will be so nice to see my whole family (even if we are a bit cramped in our 2 bedroom apartment).

In other news our favorite upstairs neighbors are moving out. We helped them move most of their stuff on Thursday. What a bummer. We so enjoyed having them as neighbors. They let us use their back yard for Ally, we were constantly borrowing things from them, we'd barbecue together, and have drinks, just all very neighborly stuff. we're hopeful that our new neighbors will be nice, but it just seems like no one will be quite as good. Well, we won't know till January, unless they find someone who wants to move in asap. Keep your fingers crossed that we have nice, dog loving neighbors. Well, it's late and I'm tired.

ciao!
