Christmas Fun

It is a bit of a blizzard in Cache Valley this Christmas evening. Brandon and I thought it would be fun to play in it...maybe we should have taken the time to put on coats and hats and gloves...or at least shoes...





**UPDATE** A couple hours later our snow angels left us, so we decided to give it another go... Check it out on Brandon's Blog.

Gemini


I miss my dog. Her name is Gemini. She was so playful and full of personality. She would snuggle with me at night time. She would keep me company. I know it sounds nutty but I swear she would somehow know if I was upset or had a bad day and she would crawl onto my lap and up onto my shoulder and she would snuggle her little head underneath my chin. I don't know where she is now, Jon kept her when we split up and I think he gave her to his mother or his uncle, but I miss her. I didn't even want a dog in the first place especially not a chihuahua but Jon talked me into getting her and I fell in love with her and now I miss her. It would be so nice to have a little Gemini affection.

Here's what I'd like everyone to do - just copy this blog and paste it into yours (changing the answers of course), we may learn something new about each other - try not to be a SCROOGE!!!
