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!

I was a little home sick, but your post really helped! Hello Anderson family! I was on Brittney's blog and was hoping that the Aubrey that she had listed was Aubrey Anderson~sure enough. Blogging really lets you see what a small world it really is. I'm just learning how it all works with Brittneys help. Its such a fun way to keep up on whats new. Tom said to say hi.
