i got a new winter coat for christmas and it's just amazing. it's sort-of beyond words.
my old winter coat was orange (which i still enjoy) and i got it my senior year (of high school) on the clearance rack for $20. this was when my understanding of cold was very different as well. we had an idea i would be heading to a colder climate for college so we thought, 'let's buy a warm coat.' i had no idea how cold, cold could be. it was time.
and i won't lie. i really upgraded. it was not cheap...hence the fact that it was a gift. my sister said she was even surprised i got a north face...i don't usually go for the name brand stuff. i think there are off the beaten path ways to get stuff. i explained that i had good experiences with north face and sometimes it's worth it.
now i can walk around in this freezing weather a little more comfortably. at least from the waist up. it makes me so happy.
most of the snow went away with the blessed warm temperatures of new year's eve so walking is so much easier now. the flurry type, maybe could amount to a little snow doesn't even bother me all that much. i actually find it pretty. like my sister did when she came to visit...until we walked in it. i know what you're saying right now karen...'it was the wind.' maybe so, but regardless.
i'm warm on top and faster on bottom (you walk faster without the roads covered in snow). happier in winter!
**cultural fact of the day. today is dia de reyes in mexico. this is when the kings arrived to jesus. so the kiddos get presents (from the kings). get it? anyway it made me happy this morning to think about the kids faces and excitement when they attached their letters to the kings to balloons last year and released them up to the air. =) **
