H E R :
The first snow has fallen in Idaho and I have mixed emotions.
We lasted without snow until November 26th, which is the longest since 2012. For this I am grateful, because as soon as it snows it basically doesn't stop until the middle of March.
Yeah I'm pumped to make a couple snow angels and buy some new beanies, but it's still daunting to think it will never end. (Or at least feel like it)
Right now I am just enjoying it while the Christmas season has begun and the snow is kind of a part of the holiday celebration.
Curtis and I took some Christmas card pictures a couple days after the first snow fall. This always seems like a great idea, because the snow makes for pretty pictures, but wow was it freezing. And I'm not the kind of person who can just shake it off.
I HATE being cold. It takes about 10 seconds of being outside, before I am in a bad mood and never want to leave the house again.
Anyway, the pictures turned out good and I am so ready to turn in my notebook full of study guides and to do lists for eggnog and hallmark movies. Let the countdown to Christmas begin!

Growing up in Colorado, we got plenty of snow and we loved playing in it. I guess back then, I was young and careless. Now, I worry about my car being stolen when I go outside to put the defrost on in the morning. How things change, haha.
Cold weather means holidays which means family time. Being married, I have two families now, so it is twice the fun. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
When I think about the seasons and changing weather, I used to just think about what it meant for my fun having. Since being married, it has become a reminder 4 times a year that my wife wants to take family pictures. With every new season, comes new photos. All husbands can attest.
Outside pictures in the cold and snow, yeah... no thanks.

I have only been married 1.5 years but in this short time I have becoming much more aware of how to make this picture process faster. I used to complain and drag my feet, and it took forever. Now I just do what the boss (wife) says. I smile, I wear the outfit she gives me and I do it with a "positive" attitude. But by doing this, it gets done faster and that makes for one happy wife which makes for one happy life.
I enjoy the pictures after the fact, but am always glad when the photo shoot is over, especially when its snowing. Now that I got the pictures out of the way, I can start to enjoy the non-stop Christmas music and sugar cookies that await me. Happy Holidays to everyone!
