it has to be done.

it is december and this is our idea of bundling up. 

and i think that this is not good enough.

so, B and i have decided that it has to be done.

what, you ask?

well, after perusing this lovely blog,
and after reading all about her adventures in the town where i grew up,
B and i have decided that we must take our children there.
in the winter.
with snow.
sometime.
i just hope that sometime will be sooner than later.
like maybe next year, hon?
it would be absolutely incredible. 
i just know it.
watching the skiers on bachelor 
(we've vowed to never ski again),
going ice skating,
going sledding,
drinking hot cocoa by a warm fire,
driving the family by the houses where i grew up
and seeing my grandparents' old ranch. 


B loves the idea of a road trip.
i can just imagine the goodness of a trip like this.
it is going to be great. 
just great. 
one of these days, it will be done.
i hope. 

but until then, we'll just sort of bundle up. 

And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed.
Luke 1:46-48
