A Short Story (or Pity Party)

I love Charlotte. I love the Christmas-y feeling that I have here. I love the lights in Christmas Town USA (which we've already been to see twice). I love the ice skating rink downtown. I love the decorations on the outsides of all of the shopping stores. I am looking forward to going to the Billy Graham Library for a horse-drawn carriage ride and a live nativity scene. I am excited about everything else we have planned here for the season. However, I miss the snow. I want snow. Blacksburg, Roanoke and Lynchburg are getting snow now. We don't have any forecasted for at least the next ten days. I haven't even seen a flurry. :(

The End

By the way, today we met Mike Huckabee (Jared's all-time favorite candidate), took a brief tour of the decorations in the city, watched Tech win the ACC Championship (Yay Hokies!), and have big plans of snuggling on the couch with hot chocolate to watch a Christmas movie tonight. So, yes, it's been a good day. Guess I can't complain about the lack of snow too much. :)
