I'm glad we're not currently friends. This post is my official response to Summer by my cousin Lori. I was going to leave a comment and then it started to get really long and so I decided to do a whole post.
First I agree with you that Christmas is amazing and I cannot wait until it comes because that means I get to visit my family and meet this amazing little girl!
Also you don't have to wait until Christmas to give goodies to your neighbors and friends, I do it all the time during the summer and no one ever complains. Like today I made cream puffs and took them to golf class.
I'm going to get a little side tracked on my post because I just want to say what an amazing day I've had today. I started out by going to the temple at 5:30 this morning, and then instead of going golfing like I planned(my golf buddy injured his shoulder ): ) I made cream puffs for my football game tonight. (we might have to forfeit because half of my team is gone but we will have the best treats) I then went to devotional, which was really good and she talked about things I really needed to hear. Afterwards I went to stats lab, studied for stats, got a 93 on my stats test in 54 minutes(I dialed in at 52, so at least I didn't breakout). Then I went to golf class, looked at adorable pictures of my nieces and nephew, had delicious potato salad, and now I'm blogging. Pretty great. However it was a little warm in golf class today but at least it was a short class and in the shade.
The temperature brings me to my next point. For all of my Arizona friends, I love you and I dearly love the state but because it causes the unchristlike characteristic of envy in me, please don't flaunt your weather to me. I know it is extremely hot there right now and you feel like your going to die when you step outside during the day, but you can still go outside and enjoy the evening. This type of weather persists for maybe 3-4 months, but for the rest of the months you get to enjoy the outside. However here in Utah it did not stop snowing until May(there is still snow on Mt. Timp) and come October it will be cold again. That gives me 4 months were I can enjoy the weather and for 8 months it's so cold I feel like I'm going to die if I stay outside for anymore than a few seconds and it only gets worse in the evenings, so I get no outside time.
As much as I love the fall leaves I am not ready for Autumn to come because I know what comes after that and although I achieved my goal this year of pretending I liked snow until I had some feeling of appreciation for it, I am in now way wishing for it to come.

Wow, I don't think I've ever gotten a full blog post in response to one of my own! I feel so special :)
ReplyDeleteI can understand your point of view, though that doesn't change my own. This summer has brought quite a bit of sadness, so I'm anxious for a change of seasons to hopefully turn things around.
And I just feel like I should add, I do bring goodies to my neighbors (they love it!) quite often, but at Christmas time it's like a whole extravaganza!
Anyway, enjoy your nice weather!
