Surviving this Weather....

Okay, so the last time I posted I talked about "acquaintance" friends I have made in the small town we live in.  Now, I can write about having actually made a friend here.  I mean an actual friend, who I am comfortable around and can share things with and our kids like to play together friend.  I had to share this because it has been a long time coming.  We've lived in Fairfield for almost 3 years and before this I was very lonely and bitter about not having any friends.  Now I have a friend, who I very much enjoy hanging out with even if we don't see eye to eye on everything.

I'll give you her name, so I don't have to keep writing friend all the time.  Her name is Ashley, her husband's name is Casey and they have a 22 month old boy and a 5 week old boy.  Preston has play dates with the older boy.  They are super nice people and just moved here from Nevada.  For those who do not believe in the power of prayer, I poo-poo that.  I have been praying since we moved here for either Jason to find a new call as soon as humanly possible, or for us to make some friends that will make our time here less lonely and more bearable.  And my prayer has been answered with these new people who have recently entered our lives.  I am just so excited about all this, that I had to share.

Okay, now for the crazy up and down of the weather here.  Yesterday was 70 degrees with light winds, today there was a very chilly wind, but the bank said it was 52 when Preston and I were outside this morning.  Saturday the high is going to be in the 30s.  What gives?!  I just want summer to be here already.  Or at least have the temperature not dip below 50.  And as I am writing this post, I am freezing my ass off in my creative space in the basement.  But I'm too damn stubborn to turn the heat up because it is almost the middle of April and I shouldn't have to.  Yeah, some logic, huh....  I'll survive this crazy weather.  I have every other year thus far and will again in the future.  It doesn't mean I'm not going to bitch about it though.  That's what we in the northern United States do.  We bitch about the weather.  It's too dry, too wet, too hot, too cold, too humid....etc...  We are hardly satisfied, but on the days we are, well, those are the days that I am longing for and the sooner they arrive the better.
