Winter Wonderland

We had our first snow this week! The only time I've ever seen snow was on vacation so this whole week has felt like vacation, especially since we get to go snowboarding again tomorrow! It's so strange to be able to hop in the car and drive to the ski resorts- Drew's done it about 4 or 5 times since the mountains opened. We woke up to a blanket of snow on the ground yesterday, and, of course, we were unprepared (we went through 2 hurricane seasons in Fort Lauderdale without owning a flashlight, why should we start being prepared now?). We had no snow shovel or windshield scraper. Drew went out in his underwear to sweep the snow off my windshield with a broom- now that's love.

My job is still going really well. Last week a 93 year old man pointed to the stethoscope around my neck and said "that makes you look important." Another 91 year old man said "what's up doc" then asked me to give him something to "put him down". And today an 80-something year old lady did "the itsy bitsy spider" up and down my arm. Old people are so cute.

The only other thing to report is that the city of Longmont built an ice-skating rink in the park down the street from our house- how awesome is that!?! And Drew's parents and my brother-in-law Devon are coming for Thanksgiving, can't wait to see some family...

Drew's fun fact: A single snowstorm can drop 40 million tons of snow, carrying the energy equivalent to 120 atom bombs.
