We never get snow like this!!!

It was looking a lot like spring and Amy I am so jealous of your tulips!! I think we have gotten more snow this last week than we ever got during the winter. I should get used to this Wyoming weather but I haven't. If we do get snow like this, it is way to cold to play in it because of the wind so yesterday was a very unusual day for us because we got that great snowman snow and it was a beautiful day to play in it. Thanks Jeanna for the snowman kit that you gave us for Christmas. We were finally able to use it and the kids had a ball. They played for a couple of hours after school in it and even got the tubes out and found a snow hill. These are the kind of days I used to live for as a little girl and sadly we do not ever get them here. I have never thought more about the pioneers as I have since we have lived here because from October to sometimes even June, the cold mixed with the wind is a bitter cold that you can't describe. It goes right through you.


Speaking of the pioneers, Torrey and I were asked to meet with the Bishop this past Sunday, and this always makes me a bit nervous especially when my husband is asked to meet with me. We were called to be Ma & Pa for a group of youth going on the Trek this summer. This will be so exciting. I hope that I will be able to make the long walk day after day. What an experience though! They say that we are going on the Ultimate Trek which is different then some groups in the past so it should be memorable. I believe that we start at the Rocky Ridge and end at Martin's Cove. I am excited that my husband will be able to be there and experience this. Our Youth are amazing! Have a great week.
