Ok so before I get started I noticed that some people were saying how they loved all of the pictures that we use and I feel that it would be appropriate to give credit to the people who actually took the pictures. Most of the AMAZING pictures that we get are from the blogs "the drifter and the gypsy" and "Daydream Lily". So I would like to thank them for all of the pictures (even though I don't think that they even read our blog).

I had a life changing moment today, and I rarely have these. Now don't think that this is something I always talk about because yes, it happened when I was running today at cross country. I was running and thinking about how cold it was when it started to snow. All the sudden I closed my eyes and listened to the snow hitting the trees, my feet pounding on the hard ground, the wind blowing in my face. I just took it all in, all of my surroundings, using every single one of my senses. I breathed in the dry cold air and felt the numbness in my ears. I opened my eyes and saw the snow sticking to my lashes, the white flurry of flakes falling all around me. And at that moment I thought "this is what I love to do, this is what i live to do." Because it's true. Running is my life, it challenges me, like it did today, can I run in the rain? yes. Can I run in the snow? yes. It has really changed my life, for the better. And no matter where is is, no matter what the weather, I love it all the same.

Cross country is almost over and I'm starting to stress out. I don't know what I'm going to do. My life will feel so empty. Maybe I'll get Sydney and Kylie to go running with me during the winter.

Today during English we had to write a topic sentence and I redid mine like 4 times before I got one that I was satisfied with. But once i got it I was pretty happy with myself because I'm not the greatest writer.

It's still snowing and once again I can see it out of my window, right now. I love love love the snow! And the cold! Coming inside to un thaw your hands and to drink a nice big cup of hot chocolate is amazing. Then spending the day on the couch watching movies and reading. And even more fun then that is spending the day in the mountains to go skiing! Another one of my favorite sports!

And to add to all of this great news my favorite song just came on the radio!

Ok I don't want you to get bored out of your minds reading this post so I'll stop now (I guess its not that long is it?)

DON'T FEED THE WILD ANIMALS!
