The first photo is a photo of her car....located in LAS VEGAS....with some type of "cold, white, wet substance" ALL OVER the car...a car that (I'm not sure if I mentioned this?) is located in LAS VEGAS!!!
The second photo is a photo of her yard....located in LAS VEGAS...with some type of "cold, white, wet substance" ALL OVER her grass....grass that (I'm pretty sure that I mentioned this!) is located in LAS VEGAS!!!
So I took a photo from the window in the building that I work in (since I wasn't crazy enough to go outside to take it) and I sent it to her to show her what it looks like in Salt Lake City.
I sent it to her thinking that it would evoke some type of empathetic reaction....one sister to another....all for one....and one for all....let's scream it TOGETHER!! WE HATE THE SNOW!!!
But the response that I got from her was: 'I wish it would snow like that here!'
What? Huh? Ex-squeeze me? Seriously?!
Then I thought it over....there are only 8 days left before Christmas....she lives in Las Vegas where there are OVER 300 days of SUN EVERY YEAR and it rarely ever snows....and the more that I thought about it....the more confident that I begin to feel....one sister to another....all for one....and one for all....let's scream it TOGETHER!! BABY JESUS LOVES LAS VEGAS!!
A few fun Vegas snow facts:
