I walked outside this morning into the blistering cold, which reminded me why I want to move to Arizona soon… I cannot stand the painful cold that Winter brings to Indiana every once in a while. We’ve continued to have snow and rain for the past few days and I’m not sure when it’s supposed to stop.

We had a pretty good winter storm last night. I was almost positive that we were going to have terrible road conditions today, but as it turns out it wasn’t that bad at all and the only people closing up because of the weather are the schools.
