My sister and her hubby (Matt) have moved to Minnesota temporarily! It's so weird to know she's just right in St.Paul. We are going over there tonight for gourmet dinner and the guys are going to be watching the basketball game. I have been trying to put my feet in Matts shoes (boots) to see what I'd think of this place if I came from the desert. Imagine the things we don't even think about in winter! Salt all over the car, mysterious snow covered yards and places yet undiscovered, frozen lakes, frozen jeans (he finds this fascinating), frozen eyelashes, ice on the roads, homeless people?-OUTSIDE?!!! They might have an inground pool in their yard come springtime-who knows? Maybe a cemetary? I picture him in his car after work freezing to death as it warms up. Hopefully the beauty of spring and the warmth of summer will help him forget what winter was like. I wonder how different our summer will feel compared to Tucson? Will he feel suffocated in greenery?! Will he miss the mountains? The javelinas and coyotes in his yard? The cacti? The Mexican border? The illegal immigrants? Oh yeah, they're all here! Adventure awaits!

Yeah- I can't believe we are here either. God's ways are mysterious and He is so good to us! It's embarrassing to think of all the details about living in Minnesota that I have forgotten all about. Like what do I look for in buying a shovel? How long do I let my car warm up- the colder the temp the longer? How do I watch out for black ice if it is invisible? And the best question I got this week was from the insurance agency who wanted to know if my Element was equipped with a snow plow! Fo' real!
