Live gratefully!

Thanksgiving this year was great as always and even better I was able to share it with Andy for the first time as his wife! This time of year we are especially reminded to be grateful for what we have. This video is a great one to remind us to keep that in mind every day of the year. Don't take your loved ones for granted!

Color on a Gray Day

I can feel it coming. The dreary days in Logan are warning me that absolutely frigid days are on their way. I can feel it in the wind and I can see the snow on the mountains that inches closer with every storm. Today was sunny but chilly. Yesterday was gloomy. Though I felt chilly and not too excited about going to class, something unexpected made me so happy!
People all over campus were carrying brightly colored umbrellas!

There were pink umbrellas, green umbrellas, yellow umbrellas, umbrellas with polka dots, stripes and flowers on them!

 I saw green ones, without frogs, I think seeing this frog umbrella would have made the day even better :) 

It was so fun seeing the bright colors on such a gray day on campus. It may have also had something to do with the fact that my personal umbrella (of the polka dot variety) was keeping the rain and dreaded white stuff off of me, helping me to stay dry and cozy underneath it. I enjoyed my day on campus just for that reason :)
