We'll miss Pops

Today we found out that Rory's great grandfather "Pops" passed away. He was going on 103 years old. I have a picture that I love of myself, colleen, Rory's mom, Rory's grandma, and Pops. So many generations in one photo. Colleen was young, but not many kids get to meet their great-great grandparents. I didn't get to see Pops much, but the handful of times that I got to spend with him were so special. He was such a sweet man that opened his heart to people. He spoke openly about his faith, so we all know that he is in heaven celebrating right now. He will be greatly missed though.

Today was such a crazy day. It felt like March, but I'm pretty sure it is still January. I've lived here almost 7 years and I still can't get used to it not being cold in the winter. It is nice to be able to get out to the park and play outside with Colleen, but the weather is confusing my body. I'm having spring fever already. Its too early. I haven't had a chance yet to feel cold and cuddle up in a warm sweatshirt with a hot cup of coffee or cocoa. I haven't had to wear a winter coat or gloves yet. Kinda makes me sad. I like the cold. I was born to live in the cold. I'm totally out of my element here. I can live here 20 years and still not adjust to the warm climate. Thank goodness for air conditioning or I wouldn't survive.
