Colorado vs. Ohio

Anyone from Ohio will tell you that the weather there is crazy. Having been, and always will be, an Ohioan, I agree. This week though just made me ask a question to myself (since no one else would understand) "is the weather crazy everywhere?" Here's why I asked such a curious question.
in Ohio, the theme is "wait till tomorrow. the weather will change." and 9 out of 10 times, it's true! i got used to the gloomy winters, and actually, being a full-blood ohioan, never really noticed the gloomy winters until i started dating my fiance, who is originally from new england. yeah. apperently they get better weather out there. i never really noticed what it did in ohio, except in school when i would hear a blizzard might come, and i would just hope my mom would sneak in my room to turn off my alarm because school got canceled. but now that i know what ohio weather does, i was expecting colorado weather to be the same. WRONG!
when we first moved out here in january, it was sunny almost every day. it didn't snow until about a month later. which i guess is not the norm. usually there have been 3-4 big (like feet, not inches ohio) snowfalls by february. they've only had one before we got there. anyway, that didn't bother me because, well, i happen to like snow. yea, i know. i'm wierd. but the sunny days i was not used to! and it was really nice! well, then the temps started to warm up and i thought nothing of it. we are having better weather than ohio. until monday.
sunday, it was so nice and warm! but a front was coming. which i have found out, i can now tell you when a front is coming (besides the news) becuase it gets terribly windy! sunday, i thought i was going to blow away. monday's high was at 12:01am. yeah, it just got colder. which i am used to in ohio, but colorado? it was raining when i left for work, and when i was coming home after a day of work, it had turned to snow. now, luckily the ground was too warm, so nothing stuck, unless you live in the foothills and higher. and then it snowed over night and i actually had to brush snow off my car and it was FREEZING! ok, like 20 something. but compared to 80, it was cold! but it was so beautiful (agian with the wierd likeness for snow). the trees were starting to bloom and the snow was sticking to the trees and bushes, and i just thought it was beautiful. but it was the last weekend in april! not a surprise for ohio, but here?
so i guess in the short run (too late, huh) i think i would prefer the colorado weather, but i miss all the snow ohio gets. and now i am ready to see what the summer will bring out here. oh and in case you were wondering, it was 65 today and getting warmer tomorrow. so you ohioans, the weather is crazy everywhere. you just get more clouds. HAHA!

Time alone

So here I be. On a blog. Thanks Jeremy. Don't know quite what i am getting myself into, but we shall soon see. i figured this would be a good way for me to pass my time, since i have no friends here yet, and my fiance (which is so cool to say) works way too many hours. For instance, today. It is a beautiful... no gorgous day out today. Grant it, it is only 9:07 MT but it is still awesome. It is also saturday. and where is my fiance? work. why? because someone thought it would be fun to have a confrence call at 9:00 MT and they are probably on ET since the main headquarters is in florida. and they probably got to sleep in two more hours. And my poor fiance has worked over 13 hours everyday all week, and now is sick (he's thinking broncitis, not good) and all he wants to do is sleep in just a few more hours. but no, someone wanted to talk to everyone on a beautiful...no gorgeous saturday morning. so i was awaken at 7:30 by his alarm, and have not been able to fall back asleep. So why not try a blog! i have time. i'm awake. sure i could start working on things for the wedding (which is a very long list of "to do's") and i could clean the apartment. I just don't want to. this can be an out, a venting place for when he works late. looks like i will be on here almost every day. don't hold your breath though. And you know, i was thinking of all the things i could say, things that have been pondering in my mind for a few days now (thanks again jeremy) but now, i can't think of them to save my life. so here you go world. here's my first blog. are you hooked? didn't think so. but my dear friends in ohio, here's my life in colorado. know that in a couple minutes, i can go hundreds of feet higher, ears popping, air thinning, and get the most spectacular views and hiking trails anyone can possibly imagine.
