Brrrr!!

I always know to expect weather this cold but for some reason it seems more and more miserable every year! Today with windchills well below -40 degrees I walked to class and I am happy to say I made it there keeping all fingers, toes and ears! Lucky for us this was supposed to be the coldest week and it should warm up to at least -10 degrees for the rest of the week! Cole and I ventured out into the cold tonight to go to a house of a friend of mine! Jes, Ellie and Haley are wonderful hosts and Cole had fun getting out of the house and playing with Jes's dog Marley. Cole has tried a few more different foods this week including a mashed up banana, pancakes, and Red Lobster biscuit. He has been getting more and more brave with his walking along furniture as well and now tries to let go and grab onto something else, a few falls here and there but he is doing very well getting around on two legs! Becca and Andrew are on their way up here for the weekend to visit, so hopefully the weather warms up enough to go outside without the worry of frostbite. And since we have five close family birthdays this month I will just say happy birthday to Jason (tomorrow), Grandpa Paul (Jan 14) Aunt Becky and Uncle Andrew (Jan 17) and Grandma Karen (Jan 19)! It's a busy birthday month in this family! And just incase anyone forgot the wedding is exactly four months from today, and all of a sudden I feel like I don't have anything done. I know it will all fall into place but planning a Sioux Falls wedding from Grand Forks is a little more tough than I had planned, but looking forward to being Mrs. Vasquez in 120 days!
