Happy Spring!!

The good old Northwest-isn't it beautiful?

Spring is here, and so is the rain. I love the Utah weather. You never know what it is going to come up with next. It reminds me of home in Eastern Washington, where in the morning it would be chilly and rainy and that afternoon you would be sipping lemonade, putting on sunscreen, turning on the air conditioning at home and wishing the sun would stop its merciless heat rays from burning you up.

This morning, I biked to my Athletic Training Lab at seven in the morning. I was amazed at how much light there was at that time of the day and I anticipated a warm and sunny day. However, Mother Nature held a surprise for me: rain. Man, do I love rain. Whenever I meet people they always ask me how I like the rain, assuming that I am from Western Washington and/or the Seattle area. Their faces after I tell them I am from a semi-arid desert are so priceless that I should put them on posters to advertise for stress relief for finals week. But, honestly, I really do love the rain. I got to bike to my apartment after classes and just enjoyed the clouds hovering, the calm that comes over the earth as it is being cleansed and the cooler and comfy air and feel all around while it is raining. Happy spring to everyone!! May April showers bring May flowers and many adventures and happy times!!
