Well, I'm eating my words. We got a snow storm a few days ago and it's been hovering around -8F ever since. I had been informed by the locals that it doesn't get that cold until Jan. and Feb. THEY LIED! To be honest about it, cold is cold. Once it gets down to the teens it doesn't feel all that different from the negative temps... so far at least.

I was able to get another day off of work so Drew and I are going to California for Christmas to spend it with my family. It will be fun (and warm.) I was able to finish all my shopping yesterday. Hooray!
