Oh. Here comes the snow!

I love the snow, I love when the snowflakes are ginormous and I catch one in my mouth. But I only love snow for the month of December. I love seeing houses with Christmas lights and  snow. This is one of my favorite memories of the Christmas season from when I was little, driving around and seeing all the pretty lit houses. When there is snow all around, it makes Christmas lights appear even brighter. But when I cannot even see outside my living room window because of all the snow.... 
it is too much snow!!



I do love how I can snuggle in a blanket, sipping my hot coco and watch everyone walk by freezing outside. I can just sit inside loving the snow. However, when I am out trying to walk to class I hate it! I obviously have a love hate relationship with snow. I think that it is more hate than love.

I know what you are thinking, 'if you hate the snow so much, why do you go to a school where it is snowing for 7/9 months you are there'?  Because I love everything else that my school has to offer. I love the friends I have up here, the education I am receiving, the small town feel that only can be felt in places like here. The snow is only a side note to all the things I love about this place.

Elvis Presley

Elvis-the secret idol of everyone!
Lets be honest, if you have not seen an Elvis Presley movie, you have not lived!! They are the cheesiest and yet most amazing movies ever!!!                                                                              This lovely break from school I have been able to watch three of them: "Fun in Acapulco", "Frankie & Johnny", and "Girls Girls Girls". If you have yet to watch one, I suggest Girls Girls Girls or Blue Hawaii.
Hmmm maybe I should just have an Elvis Party and then you can really experience the amazingness of Elvis!!

One of the ugliest things in the world I constantly see is contention. It is a wood to a fire of hate and insensitivity. I get so sick of seeing it, hearing it, and then being encompassed in it, in that moment in time when I find myself doing it, I run!! 
I run to get away from everything and take a moment to breathe. At the moment of this deep breath I think so many random thoughts and questions of frustration, fear, and anxiety. 
I then try to let it all go, but is that possible? 
Can I just forget about the things that cause my mind to run circles, trying to see it from every angle, and then just let go?
Yep. I can. Mind over matter baby. Or I guess in this case mind over mind. Ha ha.
I love the fact that I can do whatever I see fit, I can find alternate means to get around a rock or a pothole that is one my path of life, all I have to do is stop and look at it and then find that route.
