When we arrived in Denver it was in the 70's and today it snowed all day, but it is pleasant, beautiful, and a nice change from the usual. My skin is really dry, all of our lips are chapped, but besides that the kids are enjoying it, really their first time being old enough to really understand it and appreciate snow. This was when it was still light, you cannot really see it on our car, but now it is white everywhere.
Today was a wonderful day connecting with friends for a homemade brunch, our husbands did all the cooking, pancakes, eggs, potatoes, fruit, it was delicious and made with love, while our kids played and had fun together. Then we headed to my aunts house, and just relaxed, she was the person that invited us to live in Denver when we let Russia for good in January 1980. I grew up here from 7-14 years old and I remember walking to school in the snow. I made some lifetime friends here, and feel so blessed to be so close and connected as happy and healthy adults.
The rest of the family flew in today, we had pizza together for dinner, getting in all the bread products we can before Passover begins tomorrow night.
For my Jewish women out there, I really appreciate our community and services for Jewish women in Los Angeles, we have it good girls, it is just not the same here, but I was grateful that it exists, but wow, we have it good in LA.
Looking forward to family fun tomorrow, a mani and pedi, a nice day with my friend visiting from Miami, and getting ready for the first Seder, Passover meal, story, and celebration tomorrow night.
So happy that we are here,
Coach Yulia
