This makes me kinda like Las Vegas...

Snow! Snow! Snow! Everywhere snow. From my friend Drew in Oregon, to my brother and parents in Southern Utah and my sister in Northern Utah to my sisters in Southern California, snow everywhere! I love it.





I cannot think of a time I have seen snow fall from the time I went to work (7:30 am) til well after I got home, about 6 pm.

We live in a concrete jungle and most of the snow was wasted on cement and blacktop, however as I drove home, it was beautiful to see the golf courses covered with snow. This morning I drove up to Red Rock after I dropped Jena at work to get a few pictures, I had no idea how deep the snow would be up there and just how beautiful it would be.

Imagine

My friend Kate sent this to me. I didn't tear up (because I'm dead inside) but I really enjoyed it and it made me think of family.




I like to imagine that this is what Bo and Luke would do if we were to release them into the wild. Although, David's parents dog Charlie greets us like this everytime we see her.
I love each of my family members so much and I'd like to think that this is how we'll greet each other in the Spirit World. I imagine my Dad greeting me like this after being away for so long as I've continued on this Earth. I imagine our embrace and how sweet it will be. I hope he will be proud of me thus far in my life and the decisions I've made. I pray that my Elder Brother, Jesus Christ will also embrace me in the same manner.
I love the joy that is visible in this video. I hope eveyone enjoys this video (despite the cheezy music) and remembers that family is such an important part of the Christmas season. I pray that we will all not allow time to pass in the love we feel for each other.
