KRYN'S FIRST SNOW DAY

When they cancel school for the day at 8:20... but you're already in your 8am class.
 Even though I did live in Montana for a couple years, we never had the luxury of snow days because our school was um, in our house haha. So you can imagine how excited I was when the forecast predicted sheets of sleet and snow. The entire walk to class in sleeting hail I was praying that a.) I wouldn't slip and b.) that school would be cancelled for the day. And Jesus was listening! I wish he maybe would have anticipated the prayers so I could have stayed in bed all together but either way, we got my wish. A snow day! No school!

Honestly, I've seen better snow and if I'm REALLY being honest, I wouldn't have minded going to class anyway. But hey, now I can say that I've officially had my first snow day. And when I'm 80 years old, I'll be sure and exaggerate the details and say that I was walking uphill to class both ways through deep drifts of snow and my grandkids will no doubt be very impressed.

Or at least, they'd better pretend to be :)

(Mal and Haley were great sports in the snow. They were my first friends here and I'm happy we got to dance in the snow....i mean slip on ice, together!)

Snow Day in Snoqualmie

I haven't been back to the PNW in a good 3 or 4 years, save a quick wedding a few summers ago.  When I moved away five years ago, I thought I'd never miss the mountains or snow or having to wear a coat at all times for nine months out of the year. Turns out that I don't miss the coat part but I had really, really missed the snow. I don't think I fully realized how much I'd missed it till I took one step into the fresh power and sunk about three feet. Man, snow is fun! Even when you're wearing a mini skirt....because I didn't want anyone passing by to forget that I was from Florida.

So anyway! Snow! Snoqualmie! SO fun.

I'm not saying Florida isn't great...but I'm also not saying that I want to stay there forever. Because winter is basically an excuse to drink as many cups of hot cocoa a day as you and I'm all about that life and gosh, I've missed it!

Blazers and Bow ties, oh my.

Okay, now only my mother and I will enjoy this post - BUT THE MEMORIES! TP (as we shall fondly dub for the sake of laziness) was a blast, as I keep reiterating! So many good people and good times and inside jokes.

▲▲This is kelsea and she's such a cutie! Seriously, she possesses every photogenic gene that I don't. Dang Genetics!

▲▲ Here I am, looking very excited and interested in government Sadly, I had no idea what was going on. The whole "smile and nod" thing really comes in handy at events like this!

▲▲Apparently I am a ghost when it comes to photos, because there were seriously VERY few photos of me. And if I was in them I was either unintentionally covering my face or laughing awkwardly or a million miles away. And so the ONLY photos of me (really!) were with the ukulele. And honestly, I'd kind of imagined myself looking a slight bit cooler whilst strumming, but no! That is not the case! and now i have like 10 photos of me glaring at a british ukulele.

▲▲ SNOW! And a group photo you've already seen, but I promise they are different. Cheers to a snowflake for completely covering my face in the first photo. Like I said, the camera was not my friend that week!

 

▲▲Never seen so many blazers and bow ties in my life, but still!

 

And so, that concludes the recap, you all may go about your business. One final shout out to our mothers for sending us on this trip, because we really thought we would die. I'll shut up about Teen Pact now...until May at least! XOXO!
