Speaking of severe weather a tornado ripped the roof off of a middle school in vermontville which is like somewhere near lansing. *wonders if katie had any severe weather* It got kinda nasty in michigan today.

lol. i beg to differ. i love rain. theres nothing like waking up late on a rainy day and reading a book. or just sitting there. its kind of mesmerizing and make you feel as if youre there, in the moment instead of thinking of other things. i love rain!

i like sun..but snow is without a doubt the best......no school...and sledding...not to mention snowmobile racing..that's fun...and after going out in the snow there is hot chocolate...nothing tastes better than that first sip of hot chocolate in the winter

(well maybe ben and jerrys..haha)

lol. the funniest thing was the look on my friends faces when they saw me. i was in like a tank top, a turtle neck, a tshirt, a sweatshirt, and my winter coat. plus a gator, a scarf, a hat, ear muffs. lol, though i dont have any snow pants. so my friends had to bring multiple pairs. i had to take off my boots and like five layers of socks to put on the pants. lol, maybe this is why i dont venture out into the snow much.

my goal, that i never got to last year, is to step on a frozen lake.
lol, imagine that! its a lake. but you can WALK on it.

oh, i cant wait for the winter carnival. hmmm, too bad they're not doing a castle....

You know walking on lakes is all good fun and games until you fall in lol. I got to play on little icebergs that froze into the surrounding lake on lake superior (yes, it;s that cold) once. They arnt doing the castle? I'm sad and i dont even get to see it lol.

you poor deprived person!! lol. yeah. i like the outdoors. till it get really cold like it does in minnesota and ND. but skiing is awsome cuz i go to the rockies to do it 2 or 3 times a winter. where it isnt as cold as ND. i used to go skiing more but, xmas camp has cut into my powder time.
i love the smell of fresh powder in the morning.

castle?

yup. we have a kind of winter morale booster in february (ended on my bday! yay! lol.) called the winter carnival. every once in a while, if they have enough millions (dont even get me started. lol.) they make an ice palace. the one last year was awesome. the tallest part was 8 stories. they cut the blocks of ice out of a lake in saint paul. the carnival rocks!
