Winter Blues

This has been the longest winter OF MY LIFE! I think it has been worse this year than ever before for a few reasons.
1. I now have 2 busy kids who are getting utterly sick of being inside all day
2. I am away from all of my friends, so the usual winter outings/playdates
have definitely been cut short this year
3. I still dont know all there is to do in this new city, so most days we end up home

BUT, I see and end to the cold, snowy/rainy/icy/floody days here in Indiana. I know my days spent wiping drippy noses and bundling up are soon coming to an end. Let me tell you, I have never been so excited for a little sunshine. I have definitely been feeling a little bluesy lately. Being lonely, and cooped up, and stuck inside during this horrid weather has played its toll on me. BUT, better things are in store. We registered Dallin for soccer (YEAH!), I have started a new job that gets me out of the house and socializing with other adults, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my newest niece, June.. still soo sad that I wont be there. Like, REALLY REALLY sad :( And, we have an awesome summer vacation planned at a beach house on Cape Cod! Now that's what I am talking about! My kids are going to DIE, water is so their thing, and the beach is going to be heaven on earth for those kiddos! Lastly, I just found out my dearest cousin is getting married in Virginia over labor day, so I am really hoping to make a mini road trip (10 hour drive) out of it and spend a few days out at Virginia Beach! All of these things keep me going every day... I have something to look forward to... that all involve SUNSHINE!
