The first snow of the season recently fell in New Jersey, and my husband and I were at the Statue of Liberty with my mother and a friend of ours. Even though there were other people with us, there's something romantic about falling snow. It made the statue even more magical. When it snows, you just want to cuddle up and get cozy, perhaps with hot chocolate and a fire. We were in the mood for holiday music, and we even took pictures of the flakes as they were coming down in front of our door. I decided that snow days are a gift from God when He wants us to slow down and spend time with our loved ones. The next snowfall is going to be just my hubby and me - and we'll make it as romantic as possible. I've already stocked up on the hot chocolate and blankets.
