Enduring the Cold in NY!

  


It has been so cold here lately. Last Friday, the high temperature was 16 degrees and today the high was 26.  I have learned to dress in layers--today i wore three shirts and 2 pairs of pants. 

Living in Ohio and Kentucky, it would be this cold and worse; however, living in NY, we don't have warm cars to hop into. 

BUT I have learned how to enjoy the cold winter weather and the snow. Last weekend, my friend Natalie (from KY) and her cousin Laura and I went to New Paltz, NY and went snowshoeing. We had so much even though the temperature was 14. Yesterday, my friend Megan and I went again to New Paltz and went cross country skiing. It was our first time and it was hard at first, but we got the hang of it. 

Happy New Year

I am such a bad blogger...I haven't blogged in 3 weeks! 

Christmas and New Year Re-Cap:

• My apartment got a bad case of bed bugs. This is a HORRIBLE experience.
• Phone and MacBook Broke (got a new phone and apple repaired the macbook under warranty). 
• Lost my hubcap on the way to the airport (dad bought me a new one for Christmas :))
• Spent 4 days in beautiful 80+ degree temps in Florida with my Aunt, Uncle, sisters, cousins, and parents. 
• Drove to Cincy with my sisters and parents and was able to see Steve, Kelly, Kaelyn, Maria, Julie, and Natalie
• Went to Rocktown, GA with Amanda and Brian and was able to boulder for several days. When we set up our tent, I realized I accidently took my summer sleeping bag instead of my winter bag...I wore almost all of my clothing items to stay warm!
