When I woke up this morning, I actually didn’t look outside or anything, but could hear the streets were "wet" as cars went by. I was finishing a book, so I didn’t pay much attention. Since the weather didn’t feel cold enough for any serious amount of accumulation to occur, I didn’t think anything of it. It wasn’t until my wife went to leave for a bit that she opened the door and saw the snow. There was probably 10 centimeters or more of snow on the ground covering everything, making today the first real day of snow we’ve had all year.
It snowed on our wedding anniversary. Since we got married during a snow storm, this was actually a very nice day to remember. We had made plans to go out shopping and spending time together, but instead, we decided to "stay in" most of the day and go out for dinner to celebrate. We didn’t stay in long.

Yoshi got to see snow for the first time when we took him outside to the park near our apartment. He loved playing in the snow, and was running around greeting people, licking the snow, and burying himself. Due to his long hair, ice and snow balls formed on his legs. He looked like a little snow man come to life. We took pictures, talked to some other pet owners, and had fun laughing at Yoshi the entire time we were in the park.
After the trip to the park we gave him a bath to melt off the snow, warm him up, and get him looking respectable again. It’s a good thing we did, because we got a surprise call from my mother-in-law and an aunt. They dropped by our apartment to say congratulations and give us a cake. I got a scarf (my second this year) and we got a set of small forks to enjoy our cake. It seems like there is a cake for every occasion in Korea. We still haven’t finished off our Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, and now we have to squeeze more dessert in the refrigerator.
Now we are getting ready to go out to dinner and have a nice night out, walking around in the snow on our wedding anniversary. It’s already been a year. It’s hard to believe sometimes. Pretty cool.
