Spring? or Why Do We Live Here?

So, this one's for you Aubrey! The first day of spring came and went, I'm sure without a hitch for some...but here in Rexburg, Idaho, we were left out of the invitation. Just this morning I sat on the couch in my plush "Muhammed Ali" robe watching in amazement the snow that was once again falling! Tanner watched it too and like a 5 yr. old said, "Mom, I just want to play tennis!" After living here for 10 yrs. I can honestly ask myself, "Why do we live here?"

Then the sun shone through, only briefly, and shined down upon the newly fallen snow as if to tell all of us that it would be okay. I stepped outside onto the porch to get the morning paper and noticed that several crocus were desperately trying to poke their heads out of the ground.
The air here is crisp and clear and despite the cold and snow of the winter of '07 I'm glad I live here. Our kids are all happy and healthy, Ron has a job he loves, the van DOESN'T need a new transmission and tomorrow I get to babysit my granddaughter. It really doesn't get any better than that!

Now here is the picture!

I hope the picture works this time. I hear three times is a charm!

Let's get this thing going!

So I already made one attempt at this set up and decided that I am completely technologically challenged. This is a picture of me and my wonderful hubby Ron while we were in Vienna, Austria last year. We spent a month together touring 8 countries while directing a student group from BYUI and also chaperoned our daughter, Ashley and her then boyfriend Ethan. They got engaged in Austria and are now married. So much for my chaperone skills! I look forward to many more adventures with Ron and our family in the years to come.
