i live in wisconsin

even though we have lived in wisconsin for over four years i am still a little in shock that i live here. especially this time of year. while it is really exciting to me for the change of seasons and i love the fall and winter wardrobes because of all the layers, it is still crazy how long winter lasts! last night on the local news they were pointing out that there has been record of snow from october 6 - may 10! that is more than half the year! i, who once spent most of her free time at the beach, now live where snow is possible for more than half of the year! they also said that we are losing 23 minutes of daylight a day. i think we only have daylight from 7 - 7 right now. pretty soon matt won't see the sun except for weekends because it will be dark when he leaves in the morning and dark when he gets home in the evening.

maddie had a pretty uneventful day - music class, three hour nap, playing at the park, playing in the front yard, dinner, bath, and bed. more later. love.

You're a brave and courageous girl to bear those cold winters.

While I think it would be nice to see/experience actual seasons, I don't think I could handle all that snow. Is there location with a climate that has a lot of spring & fall with just a dash of summer and winter?
I want to move there :)
