I awoke this morning to a fantastic new sight - snow. Now, I had never thought that I would feel this amount of excitement or elation at the prospect of 6 future months of cold and awkward trudging. However, I look outside (my opinions may be affected by the fact that it is warm inside) and see the white purity that is the symbol for so many future things. Namely:
1. Christmas is coming. T.J. and I will be having our first Christmas together. I am sure this will shock most people, but we tend to go slow in our relationship. Waiting four years to share Christmas is nothing compared to the year and a half it took for me to meet his mother (who, incidentaly, lives no more than 5 blocks away.)
2. Two weeks until our engagement party. I thank all of those people who are attending - it sure does mean a lot to me. I am really excited to see people. I consider it the kick-off to our wedding. So far it hasn't really felt like we are getting married. I guess we are!
3. Skiing. Our firm has a retreat where I am going to get pampered and ski. Loving it!
4. The end of CPLED. I have never thought it possible that an assignment every week could steal your soul more so than working long hours. It does. I can't really explain why, but post-CPLED, I am going to have to engage in some soul-building activities.
5. This snowfall is proof that time is actually marching forward. The days are actually progressing. As the seasons change, surely my articling will end and I will be called to the bar. New students will be hired and I will no longer be the dumbest person in the room. Oh how I look forward to that day!
I think those are enough reasons right now to enjoy this snowfall. Time for some breakfast in bed.
