So, I have to admit....I have been secretly enjoying all the Facebook posts about excessive snow and roads being turned into ice rinks!!! 1) I can say that because I have made sure that everyone I know back home is ok and 2) because I am still enjoying no snow, sunny skies, and excellent road conditions! Not to rub it in or anything, but anyone who is from Minnesota can truly appreciate how nice it would be missing a Minnesota winter from time to time! That and I know my time will come, it is not like I moved to Florida!
Anyway, speaking of missing all the wonderful weather conditions...I will admit that I have been getting the homesickness bug more and more these days! Probably because Charissa had her baby (Adyson Lou Weiss) and I haven't been able to see her yet! That and with Thanksgiving and Christmas so close I am so eager to get home and see everyone!! The Skype thing is alright, but I am going to need some serious face to face time with all the family and friends I have been missing like crazy!!! And I know Amanda will say the same thing after Chris and I attempted to have a conversation with her and Danny via Skype...let's just say there was a lot of laughing. For those who haven't seen yet, here is Adyson and Kapria! Love this picture!
Despite all the depressing homesickness stuff...I got to see my MOM!!!!!! WoHoo!!! She was in New York for work and decided to fly down for part of the weekend!!! I was so excited!!! And we made the most of it...Thursday night was spent drinking Margaritas and enjoying some excellent Mexican food, spent all day Friday shopping (and I got to pick out all my Christmas presents so that I don't have to carry it all back with me....extra bonus!) and then met Chris for dinner and a sports bar! Here I thought my mom and I had been to this sports bar when we came out here for my internship interview, but when we walked in I realized I was VERY wrong and then Chris and her took every opportunity to remind me that I had been telling everyone that I had been to this restaurant and in fact was lying to everyone! Made for some good laughs!! We also became addicted to a game called KENO...I'm not sure how to explain it, but the important things to know is that we were certain we had the perfect strategy about 60 different times, never won, but did steal a bunch of the forms you fill out so we can try and re-create the game during Thanksgiving :)
Enjoy some pics from our less than successful gambling....
KENO!!!! (This must be strategy #38)
According to Chris this is the "pre-millionaire" picture...
Mother and daughter together again....watch out world ;)
