Over the weekend, my friends and I took a break from studying and took some pictures on the snow!!
Even though it was freezing cold we managed to take great pictures of Fontbonne.
Stay warm!

I stood by the window, waiting for the stage manager to call places. I just stood staring at the football field below, the field was so beautiful, so pristine, is there anything more perfect than the freshly fallen snow? I could stand and stare at a field of snow all day. What makes it so mesmerizing?
I grew up in Wisconsin; snow was an everyday thing. It was something I never thought twice about. Something I never thought I could miss so much. Since we moved to St. Louis, I began looking forward to the first snow each year — more so than I did Christmas! However, the snow here is not the same as the snow back home. I think that is why a fresh field of snow brings me back home so easily. Snow all looks the same and it’s not until you touch it that you realize its different.
In Wisconsin a great way to get around is by snow mobile. I used to love watching the snow mobiles racing alongside the cars. It was a rarity to find a fresh field of snow untouched by the tracks of a snow mobile or preyed upon by the snowman-making hands of children. I remember as a child it was like finding a buried pirate’s treasure to find a field of snow that hadn’t been touched yet! It was a hunt! I never had a second thought when I pounced on the fresh snow, now it is such a blessing to me.
I was so lost in thought that I didn’t realize my cast had gathered around the window with me. We were each lost in thought. I wonder what memories this fresh field of snow brought to them.

I loved snow as a kid! Every year the first snow was the greatest thing to happen. I’d go running outside in whatever clothes I had on and catch snowflakes in my mouth and just watch all the snowflakes falling. It was the best. Surprisingly, the first snow of my college career was just as exciting. After studying for two hours straight as soon as I heard my floor mates say “It’s snowing!” I was out of my room with my boots on ready to go outside. We all ran down the stairs, threw the door open and went running out into the snow. We were like little kids running everywhere and catching snowflakes in our mouths. It was the perfect study break. Playing in the snow brings the kid out of anybody. I do not think I can move anywhere where there is no snow. Snow it beautiful!

On Friday Fontbonne was closed due to the snow we had on Thrusday night. While most of the Fontbonne students went back to sleep after receiving the cancellation notice. I was up and awake at 5:30 am in order to go to my internship. By 6:30 am I was eating my breakfast. I decided to give myself plenty of time (50 min to be exact) to drive all the way to St. Charles. After letting my car warm up for 10 min, I started my drive to Breeze Park Lutheran Senior Living. Surprisingly the roads weren’t that bad, but people were driving carefully. I arrived at 8:15 am. Luckily, I got out of my internship at 12:50pm. The only thing we did was to decorate the main dining room with Christmas decorations. The residents loved it!!
