Snow Days

FINALLY it snowed.  This whole winter has been unusually mild, I've been wearing my fall coat up until this week.  I forgot how much I love the snow.  Its so beautiful as it swirls in the air and everything looks so clean and bright.  We went for a walk on a trail nearby and the woods covered in snow is just magical.  I took a picture of our house to show you what kind of place we're living in.

We have the whole first floor and I'm loving being on the ground level!  Beatrix enjoys the snow too.  The previous tenants left some of their kids' toys in the yard and Beatrix is loving the balls.  

One thing I really appreciate about our blog is how mobile it is.  Even though I've moved four hours west to a whole new town where I know no one, I still have this blog to read and can hear about your lives and I can tell you about mine.  I'm so glad I don't have to find new blogger friends!  

We have been doing really as far as finding community here goes.  This is our second sunday at church, and we have just been so warmly welcomed.  The first Sunday we had three invites for coffee after the service, last Tuesday I went to a women's Bible study and this Friday Justin played hockey with the church league.  Then today we had lunch with the pastor and his wife.  I am just so thankful that we have been so blessed here already.  I wasn't really looking forward to moving to a rural town, but so far I have been loving it.  

Thanks girls for being a part of my life and being constant friends.  Love and hugs to all!
