Winter At It's Best


January turned out to be a great month, After the wedding we got back to school and back to work. The past couple weeks or so have really presented a lot of great news for us. Aaron called to tell us that we are going to aunt and uncle again, although worded differently. I got new tires on my car, so now it doesn’t shake anymore. Just this week we had a record drop in weather, the day started at 54 degrees and by the end of the night it was 4 with i think with wind chill in the -12's or so along with freezing rain, and we couldn’t get our car doors open because they were frozen shut. The wind was so strong that we thought our house was going to blow over that night. and the wind was also coming through the window so we had to thumb tack a blanket on the window. Mike got sick, and is still trying to get over it. Although luckily I have not experienced sickness. Yesterday we received the best news of all, Boeing called mike and offered him the internship this summer. the pay is really great, so i think he is going to take it, the only thing is that its in down town Chicago, so we are still wondering about housing or commuting? We’ll just keep praying. last night we got hit with our second biggest snow storm this winter. And we had to once again shovel our way out. Olivet for the first time in Olivet history canceled classes today so after we shoveled the driveway with our neighbors , (which by the way is about the only time we all get together) Mike and I make some blueberry pancakes, enjoyed some starbucks French roast coffee and watched home improvement . ahhhh a snow day! a day to relax and enjoy each other. I hope that whoever else had snow today, take some time and enjoy a hot drink and sit down and read a book or relax and watch a movie. Snow days don’t come very often , so take some time and do something you like :)
