Out to dinner for our 4 years together anniversary.

It's officially winter here!

Torkie loves lounging by the heat vent and the faux fireplace Ryan's brother got for us. So cute!

Snow!!! It didn't stick though. We're supposed to get more tonight. :)

Changes

I've thought a lot about how as one season comes to an end, I always seem to be ready for the next. Maybe that's natures way of alleviating boredom.

I'll miss summer, but I'm starting to crave fall. Colors, warm clothing, spiced cider and of course, Halloween. Then I will start to hope for crisp, cold and blue sky winter mornings and maybe even a little of that white stuff we so rarely see around here. The cold will start to get to me and I'll wish for spring and new flowers and leaves. Soon though, I'll dream of warm mornings and warm nights without 5 layers of clothing. As the hot days and endless sun become tiresome, fall will be back to welcome me to a new season and a fresh start.

I guess I'm in a thoughtful mood today.

The last couple months and days even, I've felt such animosity towards children that I sometimes fear I'll never want my own. I feel like I am constantly having things happen around me that reinforce my distaste for children. Unruly and rude children in restaurants. Screaming, whining kids in stores. It's unpleasant to say the least.

Yet, looking at one of the blogs I frequent, I start to get a little tug again. Her photos of her new born baby girl stirred something in me.

Maybe I'm not hopeless. Change is always happening it seems and fresh perspectives should always be welcome.

Christmas time!!!!

Weeeeeeeeee!

Subie the Red Nosed Reindeer!

I've seen so many people smile when they see our car. It's awesome.

New winter set up for Subie

I'm sure most people that read this aren't all that excited when I post about my car. Sorry. I can't help it. I love my car.
Ryan traded a truck he was selling for some awesome gold Prodrive P7 wheels last week. I've been wanting gold wheels on my car forever. Since they are 17" wheels, we needed to find some new snow tires. Craigslist came through as usual. Ryan picked up an almost brand new set of Hankook winter studded tires. He pulled out most of the studs, 70 from each tire to be exact.
They look amazing on my car and it's nice to know I'm ready to handle whatever this winter will throw at me.
