Snow in October

Well let's see...Halloween is two days away and we had our first snowfall for the winter as of yesterday. Yes NM is having snow in October! It's awesome. I woke up to rain yesterday then by the time I got to school it was snow mixed with rain. Today is started snowing just before my trumpet lesson. Jeff was worrying about riding his motorcycle home but other than that I had a rather good lesson.

So many wonderful things are happening lately. I start two new piano students tomorrow. My choir has their first concert on November 16th (Home school choir that is, The Voice of Angels Choir). I am getting through my semester with mostly really great grades and making some awesome new friends. I miss marching band to some extent but teaching it has helped with that void, although I look forward to sleeping in next week without having to hit zero hour. Church is great as always, looking forward to Christmas at NCC and seeing how that goes as a regular attendee rather than a guest. Life is pretty good even though I am tired all the time and crazy busy between teaching, working at Keller Hall, school work, nursery at church and other regular weekly events. I can't wait to see where everything goes.

I am also looking forward to going to Indiana in January to see the White Family again. Playing in the snow this time rather than going during peach picking season. Should be quite the adventure. I look forward to Thanksgiving and seeing Mark and Amy. I look forward to Christmas and being with friends and family without the stress of school. I look forward to the adventures that are in front of me.

With this recent snowy weather I have been thinking about the train layout some. The trains layout that was my Pop-Pop's hobby is no longer there, but rather spread among family, friends and other railroad fans. During winter when we had the smallest snowfall, the town would look like a blizzard hit. I was always amazed at the change in the small train town with 'severe' winter weather. I remember Pop-Pop talking one year about how you couldn't see any of the houses after a few days of snowy weather, then going out to look and being in awe of the changes the snow brought to the little town. Silly I know but something I will miss this year. Pop-Pop I hope you are enjoying the most perfect of weather in Heaven.
