let it snow

FIRST TIME IN REAL LIVE SNOW!

so, i don't remember if i blogged this, but two fridays ago, i was in denver and it snowed a little bit. i thought that was awesome. it only snowed like, maybe a quarter of an inch and it was all gone by noon. i did not know what awesome really was until yesterday. daniel and i got up, went to a breakfast place called snooze (uhhhhhhhmazing btdubs), drank oj/pomegranite mimosas while we waited 30 minutes for a table, and then ate a delicious breakfast. when we came out, the streets looked like this:

while we were finishing breakfast, my heart was POUNDING. i was so excited. it was like, when a boy you like is calling and you're letting it ring just a little getting the courage to answer it. i was infatuated by the snow! once i was in it, i was in love. it was soft, and powdery, and felt like sand when you walked on it (in boots..not barefoot. never barefoot!). and it wasn't as cold as i expected it to be. and it was just beautiful. daniel and i couldn't wait to make snowballs and throw them, but we didn't have gloves on, so we had to.

later that afternoon, we trekked out, rode the light rail downtown, and found a place to eat soup. it was perfect for the weather. just what we needed. then, we ran into the local tj maxx and bought some leather and cashmere gloves. after jumping off the light rail home, we made snowballs and threw them at street lights and signs. i was too scared to have daniel throw one at me. you have to pack them so tight just to get them to stay in a ball like shape, that i thought it might hurt! then, we realized the temperature was in the single digits, and walked home as if we were in antarctic. it was sorta painful. daniel even told me to wrap my scarf around my face and he would lead me home ♥. i wanted to tough it out though. our first snow experience was a great day. too bad his flight the today wasn't cancelled.
