it is winter in chicago and today it snowed crazy style. schools were cancelled for the first time this winter and people didn't go to work, including me. i called to see if they needed me, but to my surprise and delight they did not. not that i don't love my job, because i do, but i hate driving in the snow. everyone is home today. all the roommates. i love the picture our house is painting right now. sarah is down reading by the fire, krista is reading in the living room, danielle is cleaning her room, and i am in bed, of course. krista has actually just come into the room so we will nap soon. i really love this snow day. i love this house. i love the book i'm reading. it's great here.
christmas is just around the corner. i have decided to host christmas at my house. i never cook, but apparently i can create a christmas feast. it will be so fun. it is a christmas of firsts. the first christmas without my grandpa, the first christmas with cathy as a part of our family, the first christmas at a new place (my house), it will be different, but with my family, it will be great.
what a perfect day for a blizzard.
