Four Seasons

During our first months here in the middle of nowhere, I was kind of skeptical with the idea of experiencing four seasons.  It was summer when we arrived here and it was REALLY hot, there were days when the temperature will go up to 100 something degrees (Fahrenheit). I grew up in a tropical country and I can easily say that I am use to the heat but here it's different, it's so dry and staying outside feels like the sun is draining your energy (exaggerated but true haha).  Then after weeks of intense heat, fall finally came, the leaves are changing color and it's starting to fall everywhere. Everything looks good even the weather felt perfect, not too hot and not too cold. But it didn't last long for us to enjoy, it all went too fast and the temperature dropped day by day.

I hate the cold but the boys LOVE it. I wore layer upon layer of clothing, I wore a beanie, socks, gloves, and anything that can keep me warm. It was so annoying but fun at the same time since I get to wear clothes that I haven't tried before.  Snow was a first for us three though it wasn't like real snow (it was just an inch and it only lasted about 12 hours each time), we had a good time with it especially the bebe polar bear.  He would want to stay outside for a LOOONG time but I cannot take the cold so I would bring him inside and he would throw a fit and of course most of the time I lose so I would bring him out again.  We learned how to be more creative without our activities/play since obviously the outdoors are not the best place to hang out during this time.  This is one thing I like about the four seasons because we get to experience activities that we haven't tried before and we have to think about what activities would fit with the weather.  In other words, we get to practice planning our activities before actually doing it and not just do things randomly which we have a habit of.  Now that the cold is over I kinda miss it, hahaha but I am not thrilled to have it again.

Right now we are experiencing the Spring season and this is without a doubt my favorite season.  It was so surreal to see everything come to life. This is the first time I saw nature go on a full cycle and everything looks magical (like seriously). Flowers are blooming everywhere, trees that were barren are now all green.  It's so amazing to see how nature works and how beautiful God's creation really is.  Sometimes with all the things that we need/want to do we tend to forget to appreciate the beauty of the world that we are living in.  It is really amazing how everything in this world is put together, this reminds me that there is somebody up there who is responsible for all of these and who is watching over us.  These things in nature doesn't happen randomly, they happen for a purpose and I feel blessed to experience it.
