She was hesitant at first, but she ended up running around in the snow (sort of). We really just wanted to see how she would react and it was another excuse to put a leash on a cat. There is something funny and great about a cat on a leash. Here are some other things going on!
- The biggest update in our lives is that I found out I have to commute to Logan next semester for my classes. That's a LOT of driving, folks. However, secretly I'm pretty excited. I tell someone and they say, "Oh my gosh...that's horrible. Such a long drive." Outwardly, I'm like, "Yeah...it sucks..." but inwardly I'm like, "But I LOVE Utah State, I don't mind driving, I have most of my friends up there, I'll still see my husband and cat a lot, and I've been out of school for a year and I'll be happy to take classes no matter how far I have to drive." But saying "I know...it sucks..." is a lot quicker and people understand better.
- I really am in love with my cat. I've never been in a cat person in my entire life, but this tiny kitten stole my heart. She does funny things like hide behind something and then REALLY slowly start peeking around the side of it just so you can see one eye and she stares at you relentlessly with that one eye. She's laying on my chest as I write this and I'm smitten by the cute. BUT...let it be known that I'm still very much a dog person. And apparently now a crazy cat lady.
- I don't know what it was about getting married, but I go to bed so much earlier than before I was married. I get tired at like 8:30 and want to be in bed by 10:30. That was when my nights started before.
- There are way too many snow haters in this world. It's pretty. It will go away. Enjoy it and play in it.
- Speaking of playing in snow, my husband and his brothers (and probably some friends) invented a winter activity/sport. It's called skedding. You screw a ski into the bottom of a sled, build a huge jump and make up new tricks. I went skedding for the first time yesterday and it was SO much fun. You get a lot of speed and also get a few bruises, but it's entirely worth it. I told him they need to patent it, but that probably won't happen. So if you steal the idea and patent it and sell it and get rich...please give us a cut of the money. M'kay?
So there is a little update mingled with some random thoughts. My life is great but changing. A year ago I had no idea that I'd be where I am with school and work and everything, really. Even right down to owning a cat. But you know, sometimes a plan going array is just what you need. I feel peaceful, hopeful and excited. I'm lucky to be married to such a wonderful man that keeps me calm and helps me remember the important things in this crazy world.
Until next time!
Oh skedding... Let it be known that the best picture out there was taken by your's truly ;) Yeah, Kam and friends really started it all (boys... They wouldn't really let girls join them for the most part in HS), but last I knew I think it was Brandon who had the best completed trick! Haha. They go a little crazy with some of their attempts...
ReplyDeleteI love this post. So much. Really everything about it. From the kitten covered in snow to the wonderful quote at the bottom of the page :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me feel better about the terrible state of our spare bedroom--sometimes when all I see are the rooms on other people's blogs all day (and they're all spotless, beautifully decorated, and chic), I think that I'm the only one left in the world with a slight hoarding problem.
ReplyDeleteAnd the part about going to bed earlier once you get married? It's basically a universal truth. I get tired around 8 now.
We're old.
