Oh My Goodness, It's Snowing!

So...this morning I really needed to get some laundry done. We don't have a laundry room in our house, but there is a coin washer and dryer in the house next to us in the basement.
Let's just say, this is one of those days that I really really wish we had a washer & dryer in our house haha. I looked out the window and what did I see? Yep...lots & lots of snow, haha. It was very discouraging in that this is the view from our front door. As you can see, there's no path anywhere, except for University Avenue, which anyone pedestrian should try to avoid unless they want a premature death.


This side wasn't looking so great either. Nothing except the very main road is plowed, and the washer and dryer are behind our house, still no path, haha.
I even called Truman saying, "What do I do?". He chuckled and said, "What do you mean, what do you do?" I said to him, "Well, I've just never seen so much snow, and there's no path, how do I get to the laundry room???" haha. Confused, he said, "well...you just walk there...". I said, "but how, there's so much snow??" haha. He explained, "Amy, there's lots of people walking to classes on sidewalks that haven't been plowed, you just walk through it." I told him, "But but, I don't have boots or anything, and my pajamas would get all wet if I walked in it?" He then said, "You can wear some of my shoes if you want, or wrap bags around your feet? I don't know what you want me to say???" I told him, "I don't know what I want you to say, I just thought there might be some solution, fine, I'll figure it out."
I guess this is just coming from a girl who never has had to walk through snow before. All of my college experience has either been in CA with no snow, or 1 1/2 years here, but I don't go to BYU & walk to classes, I just walk from a parking lot into a dental hygiene school.

This is my car covered in about 4 inches of snow, and it was still snowing. I have a special tool that's a scraper/brush, and it took me forever to clear my car off when I left to go grocery shopping. The snow kept falling on me too, and I was getting soaked haha. I just don't think Amy and snow mix very well... haha.

Whooo, it's cold, but I'm doing good. I can do this... I think...



I finally got over it, and decided to go do the laundry haha. I put on Truman's socks, my shoes, and rolled up my pajama pants. I barely made it... haha.

A Night Down Town


Aww, the many adventure of Truman & Amy... haha. Well, this is my last night in Utah before I go home for Christmas, and Truman took me out for a night down town! It was so much good fun but I can honestly say I've never been more cold in my life. I didn't know it was possible to be that cold with a big heavy jacket on, gloves (Truman bought me those pink gloves), and Truman let me use his alpaca scarf from Peru. You would have thought that this would all be enough to keep me warm, but somehow I was still indescribably freezing, Truman had to actually carry me back-- haha just kidding.

We took the tram to Salt Lake City so that we could go look at the Salt Lake Temple's lights. It was really cool to see it all lit up-- so pretty! It was especially neat for me because I have never seen Temple Square lit up at Christmas time. Truman is definitely good at showing me around, and getting me to see things I haven't seen before. Just once I start to get used to snow and freezing weather, I'm leaving?? Go figure. haha. I'll miss Utah for its "White Christmas," but I'm excited to go home. Truman's not coming home to California until next Saturday though because of his finals schedule, I'm really going to miss him...

We also went to go see the new Joseph Smith film about the Restoration. I had never seen it before and it was so touching & so good! We both agreed that it makes our lives look so easy.

Then how better else to end the night than Hot Cocoa...Sinclair gas station, here we come! haha. It was Hot & Chocolately and that's all that matters ;).

We had great fun & are enjoying the Christmas Season!!!

SNOW ANGEL
From the title, you've probably guessed this is a picture of a snow angel haha.
But this isn't just any snow angel, it's a snow angel of Truman! haha. It snowed so much on Saturday, & Truman made a picture perfect snow angel for me. It was really cute! :)
Even though it's super cold, the snow has its unexpected benefits and fun that I've never gotten to enjoy in California. ...fun fun fun... ;)
