Snow... ICE :(

Saturday morning I was going with my ward to volunteer at the Festival of Trees. I woke up, earlier than desired for a Saturday morning, got dressed (in church clothes, which means black heals), and left in a rush. When I opened my front door I was SO surprised to see SnOw! It had been raining for a few days and finally the snow I had wished for came. So I walked down the sidewalk and after about 5 steps I realized I was not wearing the best shoes for the occasion. I almost tasted death by slipping like 10 times in a matter of 3 minutes. My joy for the snow was dampened when we started driving in it! It was ridiculous, we saw 2 cars spin out of control of the freeway, right in front of us (2 cars lengths away). There were accidents in every direction once we exited, I was SOO scared. I decided at that moment that I would not be one to drive in the snow!!! I don't go anywhere anyways, but my weekly (bi-weekly) trips to the mall are now going to be forfeited if there is snow. Thank goodness for online shopping! (mom and dad: that is a joke! :)

Having not ever really lived in the snow, I didn't realize that with snow comes ICE. I bought Dr. Martens thinking they'd have good traction, but they don't. I seriously almost slip and fall daily. Everyone on campus has a story about the time they slipped and fell on the ice and they were so embarrassed. It is my goal to not have such a story! haha All in all I am liking the weather so far. I love to get ready for the day because there are just SO many accessories I can choose from!

So here are some pictures of my own little winter wonderland that brittani and I took on our walk this past sunday. Snow is absolutely beautiful. The trees are my favorite!
