It felt like summer sort of came to an end this weekend, (even if it technically lasts a few more days) so we unofficially kissed our summer goodbye; we did nothing that exciting, really, it just felt sort of final with all the rain and the leaves beginning to change colors.

I'll miss our summer months, all our free time for outdoor movies, temple trips, and the few bike rides we went on, (Max doesn't seem to share the same sort of affinity towards beach cruisers that I do, unfortunately,) but I'll mostly miss our long, summer afternoons. It was all so perfect, and it all went by too fast; but truth be told, I'm welcoming the new season with open arms. Fall is great. So we bought pumpkin(and the like)-scented candles this weekend, only because Max insisted, and it seemed sort of deserving... Official and all.

I looked out the window and what did I see?

Snow, Stats and Shakespeare.

That is exactly why I decided to wear sweats to school today.

Make-A-Flake.

I'm spending my Saturday afternoon cutting out paper snow flakes while watching the real ones fall outside my window.

Today can quite possibly be my favorite day of December so far.

It's That Time Again...

my nose is as red as those cherries,

my ears are as cold as icicles,
my fingers are frozen stiff,
this can only mean one thing...


it's snowing for the first time this season my friends,
and unlike many of my fellow classmates who groaned as they walked to and from classes across campus today,
i couldn't have had a bigger smile one my face.
and that definitely kept me warm inside.
(plus i bought mini marshmallows last night while i was at the store. oh. my. can i just applaud my perfect timing?)
