It's Official...


Winter has begun :(. The day started out with sunshine, which then turned into a tumultuous rainstorm, which then turned into snow. Now I know that snow can be a good thing, in that winter can be a heck of a lot colder without the snow, but I'm just not ready for it! Besides the fact that it is only the first weekend in October, which is pretty standard for the first snowfall in the great state of AK, but more importantly....our summer was horrible! I don't know about the whole state, but I do know for myself that I put up with the cold, extra long, dark winter because the summer makes it worth it. The long days, no darkness, perfect temperature and the scenery of Alaska is the perfect combination. This summer we weren't quite so lucky. It rained daily, especially on weekends. When the sun did shine it happened during the work week and then would turn cloudy right around 5 p.m. So disappointing. So here we are about to embark on another winter. I've found all our coats, scarfs, gloves and hats. I'm sure not ready for it but I guess we're prepared.

Hello Wendy. I am so sorry that you haven't had your share of warmth for the year. I guess you'll need to cuddle next to your hubby.
