Can't Wait

Can't wait to get out of the MidWest... it is currently 5 degrees out today and it's lunch time. The cold is biting and I could feel my nose hairs freezing as I walked through the parkade this morning. Like a gentleman, Matt warmed the car up this morning and it was sweet bliss as the warmth enveloped us from the cold outside. Event the house is cold... only a fool would go without socks and pants... brrr! We have a small heater fan that we shuffle around the apartment depending on what room we are spending the most time in.

Salting the roads out here is common practice, as we have less rain to wash the roads off. The practice of "salting the roads" is done daily, and eventually the roads appear to be white. This salt kicks up onto our cars, coating them and if not washed off, it will eat through the paint on the car. This is discouraging, as we have a "newer" truck that has already aquired small paint and rust scratches on the bumper. Hmmm.

So.. we look forward to a more temperate climate, where we can let out the cat without fearing her freezing to death. Yea... it's that bad. We can be outside without losing a finger to frost bite after 15 minutes. We can pay less than 200 dollars to heat a small apartment. It will be so nice.
