Wintertime Blues...

Today it's cold. Yesterday was cold.....& tomorrow.... it will be cold.

In fact, here in WI it's probably going to be cold for another 4 months. (shiver)

I hate cold, & I hate winter. I still can't believe that we moved back here from beautiful, sun-loving Arizona. 

Today I really miss what I used to call home. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm thankful to live in a place where we don't have hurricanes, earth-quakes, monsoons, etc... and I know that wherever my family is, will always be home, no matter where....

but today, right now, I'm sad, & I just miss Arizona.

I miss the drives in the mountains to Canyon Lake and finding peace in God's beauty, stopping by Ghost town on the way back and picking up some fresh fugde.

I miss hiking at Pinnacle Peak and the view of it from our bedroom window...or driving home past the McDowell Mountains, & seeing the gorgeous Superstition Mountains.

I miss going to Carrabas, PF Changs, Rubios, & Sonic with my brother, Tracy & Jersie. I miss the Cheescake Factory too.

(03' Christmas dinner taken at Cheesecake Factory, yum)

I miss wearing flip-flops and driving in my Audi TT with the windows down on the 101.

(Goodbye Audi, Hello Mini-Van)

I miss taking road trips to Vegas with my beautiful,crazy friends...whom I miss too.

(Their motto: suck in and stick out! Oh those crazy girls!)

I miss going to "our spot" at Sedona and again, looking at God's amazing creation.

I miss the smell of the orange blossoms, the palm trees and cacti, and most of all, the mountains.

Oh how I miss those mountains!

Now, I'm going to find a nice cozy blanket, or child, and snuggle.

Maybe a road-trip is in store....
