We have been in Texas for almost 5 years now.  It is hard to believe, its gone so fast!  This week marked an epic time for me, the first real ’snow’ that I have experienced here.  Now, it has snowed here before, like 2 times where you saw it for a fleeting few minutes or the better side of a half hour, but not the glorious, stick it out kind.  Tuesday afternoon while I was working, big beautiful fluffy snow came hurtling down  I had my nose pressed to the glass, my heart breaking that I had still another 7 hours left before I could make a run for it, to see my beloved snow!  The hours past minute by minute, the sun sinking fast my heart sinking that I wouldn’t make it to see this miracle.  5 to 7, 5 after 7, 15 after 7, 25 after 7… finally I was ready to run. I leapt into my coat, sprinted down the halls, and felt my heart beat just alittle faster.   I LOVE the snow.  Its like re-living a thousand moments of my childhood and coming home all in the same moment.  The doors opened wide and beautiful snow swirled around my head.   My tongue came out to test the delicate drops and my eyes shined with gratitude for this unexpected present.
