I love winter.

I really do. Maybe it's because we have so little actually cold weather...but when we do, I just love it. Several years ago, Roy decided we had to have gas logs in our fireplace. So, we saved up, and got gas logs. Bad decision. We never, ever liked them...so we finally cut our gas off...and have left them for quite awhile. Finally this year, Roy asked his dad to help him rip out our gas logs...and plug the hole where the gas line was...and theygot it done. Today was our first fire in our fireplace in so long....I can't even remember how long it has been...but it has been heavenly. Absolutely wonderful. Our house smells like wood....and it's crackling....and I just feel so cozy it's ridiculous. Collin ended up having a friend come over...and since it's so cold outside...Roy let them build a fire in the firepit outside also. Just for the record...he helped them build it...and it was very supervised. Anyhoo...as soon as that fire was up and going....the requests began...hot dogs...marshmallows...oh wait!!...smores!!! So, we ran up to the store and got all the goods...and got to roasting. Which made the day even more heavenly. The only thing that could make this better...is if we woke up to a nice layer of snow....which isn't anywhere near the forecast..but a girl can dream!

We did Katie!! It was funny though...when we were driving him over, he said, "I've got a friend that lives on your street"...and I couldn't figure out who he was talking about...it was obviously you and Beth!!! Isn't that hilarious!! I love it!
