Sneak Peak

So I have officially moved!! Good bye south... hello Midwest!! Let me begin by telling everyone that people think I am crazy up here. Not only do they laugh (no seriously laugh) when I say "y'all" but they all want to know WHY? Why am I here? Why would I ever leave the south? Why would I ever move this time of year? Why why why... Well Minnesota People. I moved because my job required me to. The end. I don't have an interesting story of why, no I didn't follow a guy, no I don't have family up here, no I am not training for a skiing competition, and no I am not crazy. Just work reasons.

Not only do people look at me like I am crazy, I also have the weather laughing in my face. The night I showed up it was snowing. The next day it iced. The next day I drove to Northern Minnesota where it was 2 DEGREES! I am also lucky enough to find out that it gets below 30 in January. Well Happy Birthday to me! Also last night, it snowed over 6 inches... and I just looked outside now. Yep its snowing again!! So I decided to be brave last night and drive in the snow. Not because I honestly wanted to but because I was hungry. I am living in a hotel and room service is CRAZY expensive. I braved the weather and drove to panera. Ordering a salad and large soup of course! Then I drove around for 15+ mins looking for a Red Box. Sadly I think the Red Box was buried in the snow because I was unsuccessful. I went back to my cozy hotel room and watched an over priced video but what other choice to I have?

This morning I woke up fairly early. Got a work out in, ate some wonderful hotel breakfast and went outside. I was going to brave the roads again to drop off my deposit for me apartment that I am renting! HURRAY! (side note: I am hoping to move in next week. Sadly my stuff isn't coming for another 2 weeks so I will be sleeping on an air mattress) This is what I discover...



Well a Georgian doesn't really know how to properly clean a car of this much snow. But I did try. I am sure there was an easier way but it was my first time. It look me over 15mins, I got tried and ended up quitting half way through, I was soaking wet from snow falling on me and my car was wet inside because I opened a few doors without cleaning them first. Oops... I am sure I will be an expert by the end of the season. Here is the result after 15 mins and finally giving up.



I could see while drive so I would consider it a success. So I survived a week in Minnesota. Only a few more years! ha ha
