...60-degree, rainy weather for 20-degree, wintry weather.

...hanging out at home by ourselves to spending time with family and dear friends.

...semi green grass for snow piles and icicles.

...sweet tea for hot cocoa.

...t-shirts and jeans for puffy jackets and snow boots.

...the ocean for fields and 10,000 lakes.

...windows wide open for Grandma's heated, cozy house.

Why?  Because we are in Minnesota!  And we couldn't be more excited!

Although we are probably going to freeze our tailfeathers off, we are looking forward to Holidays with family, a Wedding, lots of playtime in the snow topped off with hot cocoa and marshmallows, chats with friends who are more like sisters, wearing winter boots and not sweating profusely, getting heavily caffeinated, sleepovers with girlfriends, shopping at multiple Targets, fires in the fireplace, and lots of other fun and exciting activities and events!

Woot!  Let the Minnesota adventures begin!
