{ winter wonderland }

Truthfully, I hate the snow. I'm a California girl! I thrive in the sun. I could live year-round in sundresses, shorts, tank tops and flip-flops. I don't know how to live in the snow. I can't walk in it or drive in it! I totaled my car just 2 months after moving here from California and ever since, I get a little anxiety every time I have to drive when it's snowing. My family lives two hours from beautiful Lake Tahoe. So, anytime we wanted to go have a snow day, we could drive up and come home. Now, living in Utah, I have to learn how to deal with it. I've gotten a little better at handling my car in the snow, but I still would rather have Cole drive. The snow is so beautiful to look at, though. Cole and I took advantage of the fact that we live so close to the canyons and went for a snowy drive. It had snowed the night before and the roads weren't too bad. We went up to Sundance resort, really close to where he proposed, actually. The mountains were blanketed with snow and the trees were all frosty and glistening. It was so incredibly gorgeous. I'm feeling grateful to live somewhere that I can experience such beauty. It reminds me of the hymn, For the Beauty of the Earth. I love that hymn. It reminds me who created this beautiful world we live in and to be grateful for the blessings I have. Here are some photos I took from our drive. Just on my phone, too bad I don't have a good camera. They don't do it justice at all. But, I hope you enjoy them!
