Here Comes Winter!

And with winter comes the Holidays!!
I cannot express to you how excited I am to be coming home for Christmas, it's all I can think about these days. However, since plane tickets are expensive and I am a poor college student I will be staying to the Midwest for Thanksgiving.
Since college is kicking my butt these days I haven't really had a lot of time to get out. But I can keep you updated on what is new in the 'ol GJ.

Well... this past week the temperature decided to take a turn for COLD! While it is in the freezing temperatures here, it's definitely different from an Oregon kind of cold. Everything in high desert is much dryer, dry heat and dry winters. So even though it's quite cold it's not that "chill to the bone" kind of wet cold. The first snow of the season STUCK! I couldn't believe it. Since it seems to snow like ten times in Oregon before it actually sticks to the ground. And it was pretty neat to see all the Hawaiians outside the night it snowed making haggard snowmen since it was the first time they had seen snow.

I've been indoors pretty much all week studying for test that continually seem to get harder, so Sunday I decided I need to get OUT! So I went on a hike on the Corkscrew, pretty close to the Liberty Cap hike I went on a few weeks back. And in the middle of our hike it started snowing haha. Good thing I just got a nice puffy snow coat from my parents and sista for my Birthday! THANKS GUYS!

2 Corinthians 4:16-18  So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,  as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. :)
