FIRST SNOW!!!

So, we finally had our first real snow fall here in Pro

vo. I really hope that it lasts until I go home for C

hristmas. I woke up yesterday morning completely oblivious to what had happened while I slept. I didn't even notice until noon when I went into the

kitchen to make lunch. I looked out the window and was overjoyed to discover that snow had fallen and more than just a little! This morning, it was still on the ground and my roommate and I spent several minutes taking pictures. We couldn't resist the beauty of the wonderful white world around us. There is something about snow that makes me happy. I don't know what it is, but I can't be sad when I see snow on the ground. Maybe that is why I want snow to fall as early as possible.
Today I started getting even more excited about going to Jerusalem. Maybe you are sick of

hearing about this, but I can't help talking about it. I realized that in 1 month and 5 days from today, I will be on a flight to Jerusalem. How crazy is that?
