REAL SNOW!
Yes, it totally deserves all caps.
First, I was excited about this....
Oh, look! Snow! On the ground! How miraculous!
Then I drove to meet Julie for dinner (with the windows down, so as to fully enjoy the snow). After dinner, I had to wipe nearly an inch of snow from my car windows and arrived home to find this...
So I immediately did this...
Then Josh and I did this...
Then Josh made a giant snowball...
It was up past my shoes!
I've lived in Texas for 21 years now. It snowed once when I was in 5th grade, but it looked more like that first photo at the top. Then it snowed in 2004, but I don't even think it was a full inch. This was miraculous. It may never snow like this again here, but it sure was fun!
I can look out my window this morning and still see the snow covering everything, though the snow on the grass is quickly melting. Our snowman has lost his head, but his body still stands. Josh's giant ball is still intact, too. For a few hours last night everything else, every problem we've got, was covered with a snowy white blanket and for a little while, ceased to exist. It was quite a gift.
