Even though I know Drew and I will move back to the Midwest after I'm done with school, it is SO hard to think about enduring a 6+ month winter after experiencing "winter" out here. Why do we put ourselves through such torture? I've been reminiscing about the anticipation and excitement I would feel when I knew spring/summer was approaching after a long brutal winter. California Summers are great but there is such a different feel to a summer in the Midwest. I think it is because after going through winter we have really earned a beautiful summer and enjoy it that much more/don't take it for granted. I can't help but notice how much happier I am out here being in constant contact with the sun. I cringe at the thought that last winter in Eau Claire I would curl up in a ball under 5 blankets while wearing a onesie and snuggie at the same time while pretending I was in a warm and happy place.
I now understand why people are willing to pay big bucks to live here for the California weather.
I can only hope all of the snow will be melted and it will be somewhat warm by the time we come home. I have already lost my "thick skin". Fingers crossed.
