Braving the storm

Today was blizzard conditions in Duluth... so we went snowshoeing!! It was sooooooo fun! We hiked to the overlook in Hartley park. John was prepared with hot chocolate... mmmm!

Is this ugly?

Jen, Robby and I were invited to an ugly Christmas sweater party on Friday night. We played board games and had cookies, cider and martini's. We got all decked out in ugly stuff... including Chrismas bulbs that we found on the tree that we used as earings!! Somehow, I think Jen ended up cute and not ugly at all. So, who wins your vote as ugliest sweater... Jen, Robby or I??

Election Day Date!

So Robby and I went on a 'political date' prior to the 08 election at Amazing Grace to talk about the facts of each canidate. Since Robby loves politics he did all of the research and then we discussed our thoughts and opinions. It was actaully a really fun date and it was nice to learn about the canidates and get the facts before the big day. November 4th turned out to be an incredible day in Duluth... it was in the 70's in November!! So we also went on an election day date to a little Italian cafe called "Va Benne". This is definitly my new favorite place to eat in Duluth. To our surprise we were able to eat lunch outside on the deck over looking the lake. It was beautiful and an incredible date!

Me...
Robby...

The pretty view...

The best italian soda ever...

= The best date ever!!

How do you live like that?

So most people that know me know that i'm not the neatest person ever.... ecpecially when it comes to my bedroom. Every once in a while my room seems to throw up clothes... everywhere!! My old roomate Chris used to refer to my little messes as "research projects" which Mary and I thought was the funniest thing. Since I have the littlest room ever... it doesn't take much for my clothes to start to invade. So today was a big day... since I could no longer see my floor it was time to clean my room!!

So the pictures above do not show the whole picture of how bad it was. I had already cleaned up a lot by the time I thought of taking a picture. In my head I could hear my mom saying "How do you live like that?" which she used to always say when I lived at home.

After hours of sorting and folding and hanging... I finally finished the day long project. TA DA!
