Here in Alexandria, Virginia, the temperature is 49°.
The temperature in El Paso, Texas is 64°.
I am ready for spring.
Spending four of the last six years in El Paso has completely spoiled me and the entire family. I am not used to seeing cloudy weather or cold days. I am also not used to seeing numerous amounts of trees or even grass for that matter. But what I miss the most, right now, is the temperature.
El Paso is a special place for me. While it is not perfect, it certainly feels like home. Every time I think of the Franklin Mountains, the desert, or the downtown city itself, I smile.
So, when I tell my friends that I am ready for spring, what I am really saying is that I am ready to go back to El Paso.
