oh the weather outside is frightful.....

and there is no fireplace in my apt. thus the fire is not delightful....however the rest of the day is delightful because it is my good friend's birthday!Yay Nick Miller, seriously, one of my top favorite people! However I do feel sorry for the chap, he was born on a dreay dreay day. I realize that 24 yrs. ago it may not have been this bloody cold, but I could only imagine that it woudn't be too much different. Anyway...HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK! I heart you very very much, you and your wife are amazing people. (except, I don't really know if he reads this thing...)

Also, I would like to make a statement that, if I ever were to rule the world, I would teach people how to distribute rock salt properly.....the sidewalk guys at AU suck and therefore I have almost bit it once or twice on this blistery day. Yes a bit of this clumsiness could be blamed on my lack of gracefulness, but surely not all of those, "oh shit!" moments were my fault....

Lastly, I want to take this opportunity to say that I love love love my history teacher, Dr. Froese. Here are some reasons why. a) he is German and therefore he does not always speak in complete sentences. b) His wife has a paralyzing disease and you could not find a more happy or satisfied couple, it's amazing, they consider their suffering a blessing. c) Today he was walking in the snow and I don't think I've seen a more perfect example of an old German man. (not that I really have anything to compare him to) he had on his little cap, was very straight faced, and a big heavy green coat, it was probably the cutest thing I'd ever seen, not going to lie, I kinda want him to be my grandpa.

and now I must write a multitude of Pastoral Theology reflective journals...cool.....
