How was Christmas?

Well, here is how Christmas was: fun, but stormy. I got lots of nice things for Christmas, mostly things I can use in my house. But Andrew wasn't able to make it to Christmas because of the huge snowstorm we had move through here! We are having Christmas together in a couple of days when I head up there.

I love Christmas. It is my FAVORITE holiday. I love the snow, the tree, the TV specials, the family togetherness, and giving gifts to others. I love everything about Christmas! This year, however, it just wasn't the same with the huge snowstorm and no Andrew. But I'm still glad I got to spend time with my family!

Snow storm!!

From tonight until Saturday morning, we are in a winter storm warning. The roads are already icky and we are expected to get 2 feet of snow. While I am not freaked out by this ( I DO live in Minnesota, after all!), it couldn't happen at a worse time. The original plan was for Andrew and I to spend Christmas Eve with my family and drive up to spend Christmas Day with his family. Well, now with the storm, we both have to stay with our respective families...stupid storm! Oh well, that is what I get for living in Minnesota, I guess.

Last Day of the Semester

Today I finished my insane semester of 22 credits. For those who don't know, a "normal" person takes around 16. Why did I do this? My crazy goal is to graduate in 4 1/2 years with two teaching degrees. And as of now, I am only 2 semesters away from that goal, one of those being student teaching.

I woke up this morning to 15 inches of snow and the evil plowman having plowed my car into a three foot drift. After I treked to campus, I took a test and turned in a paper, thus ending my 7th semester in college. When I arrived home, I decided to tackle the dilemma with my car. With one shovel, an hour of work, a picture for proof sent to my mother and Andrew, a couple of small breaks, and a nice chat with a man about the plowman, I successfully dislodged my car and moved it to the other side of the road....where it will most likely be plowed in again by morning.

That's what I deal with now that I have my own house, I guess!
