Funny Wayne, real funny.... NOT!!! Winter began in SLC over a month ago. I've been buried, flooded, and even taught my Mustang how to ice skate already.I'm with Alex this year! I HATE SNOW! Can I just lock myself in my room and come out in April? J.

And just think about it...we were going to join him in Iceland when he found us a house...He did...but couldn't get any furniture from base housing...(all used at the time)..He told me that we probably wouldn't like up there anyway!! That was a very long 6 months!!!
