ah, winter... the rain, the sleet, the ice.
i miss winter in montana. it was cold and snowy. no wind, little ice, rarely sleet. it was beautiful.

it's hard to believe Christmas is only a few days away. i'm looking forward to it more this year than usual.. my sister comes in tomorrow or friday, Stephie's coming to stay with us through the weekend, my cousin and wife and their little one will be here sometime next week. it's time for family! and good friends. the main thing missing is seeing my montana friends; although, i think last summer may be the last time i get to see them. such is life in this place i suppose. i'm getting tired of goodbyes...

something else to look forward to: celebrating one year with my wonderful, sweet husband! only a couple weeks away..
