Winter

When it comes to winter, I could live without it, give me my 80 degree weather. I think I was born a California girl at heart. I might have been born and raised in Kansas, but I'm not a huge fan of their winter weather. I absolutely love summer, if it was summer weather all year round I probably wouldn't complain. Even though I know our Kansas/Nebraska summers can sometimes be unbearable, I'm ok with the occasional 100 degree day.

Another reason I enjoy summer so much is because of all of the great things that you can do during the summer. Grilling, picnics, picking flowers, swimming, baseball. I could go on and on with all the fun things I enjoy doing.

Of course we all know that by being a teacher, I get a good chunk of my summer for vacation. This means that I get to spend lots of time with my family. We get an entire summer to relax, play games, and go swimming.
