Winter Blues

When I was at BYU-Idaho, I had an awesome Religion teacher. Not only did he have oodles of information in that brain of his but he was also funny. In order to fit his class into my schedule during winter semester, I had to take his 8:00am class. Which meant that I got up at the last possible minute to throw on jeans and a hoodie and run out the door. On one particular morning I was running a tad bit late and the only seat in the room was in the back row. I hurried to my seat and put my things on the floor but when I looked up I realized that not only was it unusually quiet in the room but everyone was looking at ME! I was trying to think of all the reasons why I might be in trouble...I had made it on time...I was wearing pants...As I'm thinking of every possible reason, the teacher makes his way up to the back row and reaches behind me. He pulls out a GIGANTIC snow ball from my hoodie. So not what I was expecting. The whole class is cracking up. Mr. teacher is asking me numerous questions about how the giganton of a snowball ended up in my hoodie. At the time I was in shock of what was happening and my answers where most likely "I don't know" and the shrug of shoulders. The rest of the time in class was random snowball jokes and him asking people if they wanted to eat the snowball...so embarrassing. Although, this seems typical of my experiences during my time in IDAHO. I was always falling, slipping (numerous times under cars), sliding and getting stuck in the snow. Actually, the same day after that class, my car was stuck in the snow in my parking spot and two guys had to push me out.


This winter there has been too much snow. I've been thinking about my time in Idaho and how I thought I would possibly never see snow again (or at least I was hoping).

Although, yesterday it snowed, today is sunny. I'm looking forward to spring and all it has to offer. Including of course, warm weather.
