It only took six years, but…

  Today Kylie got to play in the snow for the first time ever.  Growing up in St Louis it was just second nature, if it was winter, chances are there was snow.  When there was snow, it was without a doubt we were out playing in it from the time the sun rose until the last bit of its light faded away.  I remember walking inside with numb toes and fingers, a runny nose, and a wish that I could still be outside in the snow…I have lived in Vegas far too long when I not only find myself seeking out the snow but fully unprepared when I find it!  We went to Mt Charleston today specifically to let Kylie finally play in the snow and right as I’m putting my truck in park I think to myself “I didn’t bring any dang gloves for Kylie”  The entire trip all she talked about was building a snowman, so there is no doubt those sweet little hands are gonna be frozen.  Top it of with the fact that I brought nothing more than a lil hoodie.  But seeing the pure joy on her face, and recalling how gloves really did nothing more than slow me down when I was a child and at the end of the night my hands were so frozen solid you would never know I wore them…It was all so heartwarming that my lil hoodie was more than enough.  I thank god every single day for blessing me with her, and in light of everything that happened this passed weekend that everytime I get the chance I’m gonna hold her a little tighter, and love her a little harder.  Every day I’m going to pray a little longer…I will always be thankful that god blesses me with not only another day, but another day like today!
