So, I woke up this morning to find that winter had arrived, unannounced and uninvited. It was the first time since I've been back that I've even thought about winter. But, apparently, it's here...and how!
It's been awhile since I wrote, hasn't it? A lot has changed, of course. Most of my furniture has been moved in. I still need to get my 'real' bed--it's not that sleeping on a futon mattress on the floor isn't a treat, it's just that I long for a day when I won't wake up with bruised ribs from the concrete floor a mere 4 inches underneath me.
Work is still crazy (literally! Ha!) but great--I feel like I won the job lottery here. Somehow, it worked out for me to get back into a job I would do for free (I mean, if I won the real lottery...) and I have the chance to be with people I genuinely like a respect for 8 hours a day. It's pretty great.
I have also started a mental paper chain in order to count down the days until Chris gets here. Every time I get anything for the apartment, I think of him, and how great it will be to have him around again, and especially during the holidays! Although we made turkey last November, this will be his first real, American Thanksgiving...but wait, now that I think of that, it means he will be meeting ALL of my family members. I hadn't planned on that happening until our wedding reception in April--and by that time, it would have been too late for him to get scared and run away. Hmm, maybe I need to rethink this whole 'Thanksgiving with the family' thing.
Alright, I hope you're enjoying the snow. Since most Minnesotan drivers tend to forget how to drive in the winter (and may or may not be wearing mittens while driving), be extra careful on the roads! Yikes!
