rain...rain...RAIN

I love the rain!
Here in Australia it has been raining for the past week and a half.  I am not even kidding!
And at times it's torrential rain!
Last night when Phil and I came out of the temple it was raining. Simple rain.
As soon as we left the cover of the temple it was like a timer went off, and it POURED!
We were laughing so hard as we ran to the car.  
We were so wet by the time we got there and we even had an umbrella.
Then, we still had to make the trip home.
I have honestly never driven in rain like we saw last night!
I have done my fair share of snow storms but this kind of rain is something we don't see in Utah and if we do, it lasts under 5-10 minutes.
I've been sitting here at work all morning and I can hear the rain on the roof.
It's raining so hard and it's been that way for 3 hours...and that's just today!
I wish I could describe it - it's a crazy amount of water coming from the sky...constantly.

It makes for a cozy day though- staying in, doing homework, cooking and watching Amazing Race.

Maybe I'm a nerd and it's just rain.
Maybe this is a blessing for me to help me not be homesick.
Oh well! I love love LOVE the rain!

  2. Wow, I have been feeling completely OPPOSITE. I just want to go outside for 5 minutes without getting wet! But maybe I should appreciate it more, since in a couple months I won't be seeing any rain in Arizona:)

  3. Oh man. The rainstorms were one of my favorite parts of China. I'm sure China and Australia have similar rain. It was insane. And the lightening. Oh. my. Have you seen lightening yet there? One bolt would go off and every single car and motorcycle alarm would go off. It was insane.

  5. Bless your heart Kaylee, you are a positive soul. I see rain and think, "What a pain!"
    Over here in NZ it is sunny, pours rain for 10 minutes and then 10 minutes later the sun is out and not a cloud in the sky. Never a dull moment! xx
