Baby, it's cold outside

It snowed this morning!
Last night I was walking with my host sister to church and it was really cold. I started to sing "Baby, it's cold outside" which, she didn't know. So guess what I did?!? I translated it! I obviously couldn't translate it all because I do not even know all the English words but, I translated it and it even worked with the melody. I was so proud of myself!
It was really cold. Which, was also really exciting because I learned the other week how to make this awesome and amazing hot chocolate mix (That is already halfway gone and we probably had over a gallon of this powder that I made) so, I was walking outside in the brisk evening and thinking about the hot chocolate. It was a wonderful evening.
THEN! I woke up this morning and it was snowing. The good snow too - where the large, light flakes gently drift down to the ground in no hurry what-so-ever. Made-for-a-picture type of snow. Now, it looks only like it rained this morning because it has all melted already. Still, it makes me really, really excited for the upcoming season.
Today marks the official "one month left" mark. Not sure how prepared I was for this. As in, not a whole lot. I got an e-mail from my aunt about thanksgiving plans, which, obviously, I will not be there for. It made me really excited about the holidays though. I LOVE the holidays. So great. Wonderful. yay! I also made myself note this morning that it has not ever been nearly as windy here as it is in Iowa. This may have something to do with the fact that we are blocked by mountains on either side - it's pretty great, not gonna lie ;).
I hope it is just as beautiful where you all are!
