Cats and dogs--I believe that's the phrase often used to describe large amounts of rain. To give you an idea of just how much its been raining here, Jon asked me the other day, "So now do you think you'd like living in Seattle?" My response was, "Well, in Seattle you'd expect rain. This is Utah."
Things are certainly lush and green right now--a scene not so familiar in the Utah desert. I'm used to the inevitable ugly brown color which eventually washes over the landscape in the warm months.
It's been hard to be stuck inside the last couple of weeks when just days earlier, the kids were out in the yard playing on the slip 'n slide and in our inflatable pool. I decided I needed to be a little more positive about the rain since, well, I can't change a thing!
Pros Cons
1. I'm not hot 1. The kids have trashed the house
2. I'm not hot 2. It sure is depressing
3. I'm not hot 3. I can't plant my garden yet
4. I can still wear my 4. Boredom has set in like thick fog
winter maternity clothes
5. I'm not hot
How's that for glass half-full?

And, you're not in the middle of a whole bunch of tornadoes. Like me.
well if it makes you feel better ... oregon has had the wettest winter in years. i too have been doing a "bright side" look ... its keeping me cool longer and keeping my feet from swelling (every time we have a warm day my feet swell).
its not so bad when you don't expect it to be really sunny ... so i get what you are saying.
super excited for the babies ... any thoughts on names? i find out on Thursday if my fortune cookie is a boy or girl! i will let you know!
At least it rains there lol. I think I see rain like 5 times a year. Maybe. ah I miss the smell of wet pavement. love it. Hope you get sunshine soon so you go out and enjoy the weather before the babies!
