Where is the snow?

So I have been trying to get over this cold that I have had for about a week now. I feel like I am more susceptible with this more stressful situation that I am in. But anyways, today I took the afternoon off to rest and try to get over this stupid cold. I took some ibuprofen and benedryl and then laid down for what turned out to be about a 3 and half hour nap, quite long but refreshing. After I got up I thought I should go for a walk to get out of my room and make myself tired enough to sleep tonight. While I was out I was able to witness the sun setting and it was gorgeous. It was pretty to see setting behind the mountains with the twilight hanging around. It felt like one of those fall evenings when it's just leaving summer and cooling off, not too cool but kindof refreshing. I really enjoyed it! On my walk I was thinking about how different the weather is here and how it really effects how I perceive the time of year. It doesn't feel like November and I was caught off guard when I was reading facebook and noticed that yesterday was opening day for rifle deer season in MI. It doesn't feel like it should be happening now but it is. Sometimes I feel like everyone else back home is experiencing the same weather as I am here because we have all experienced the same weather together for as long as I have known them. And I know it's not going to feel like Christmas until I get off the plane in MI and see the snow. I liked all the snow as a kid but once I had to start driving in it I didn't like it as much. Not having it cool off and see leaves or snow falling really makes it a challenge to transition into the season here. Even thought MI winters suck, they have been in my life for 23 years and it's just so weird not having them here. I think I might be able to get used to it though :) Hope life is going good for you!
