Is it really November already?

I know I am really making myself sound old, but I cannot believe how fast the time flies by. It is blizzarding in South Dakota right now, and I find myself asking where the summer has gone. I felt like I spent the first few months here waiting for things to happen. Like waiting for Izzy and katie and my mom to get here. I waited so hard and long for them to come that I feel like I missed everything in between. I just dont feel like I am ready to be cooped insided for the next six months. And true to form, all the locals i have talked to say this is supposed to be THE winter. With what I have seen, two blizzards by the 10 of november, I may actually believe them. My only problem is I survived the winter of the century LAST winter, in Idaho. Whatever happened to Global warming. I mean I dont want things to get too toasty, but a couple degrees of warming would be nice right now.
