Hello folks,
I apologize it's been so long I last posted in here. My sister and brother-in-law have been up here since last Tuesday, December 27th. I'm sitting here at work and since it's relatively quiet, I figured I'd finally update everyone what's been going on up here.
Nothing much new, really... but it's been great having company! I think Amy and Chris are beginning to realize there really isn't that much to do up here. We've had difficulty finding things to do! ;) We've mostly been staying in and relaxing (which luckily they don't mind) watching a few movies and visiting... It is their vacation, so a little rest and relaxation for them has been alright. We went to see "Fun With Dick and Jane" at the movies the other night. It was a pretty good movie, but wasn't quite as funny as I thought it would be. I'd still recommend it to anyone that likes silly comedies. We've went out to eat a few times and even traveled to Seven Clans Casino over near Thief River Falls, MN on Saturday. We didn't hit the jackpot, but still had fun.
For New Year's Eve, we didn't do a whole lot. Grand Forks had it's annual "First Night" event, but all we went downtown for was to check out the ice-sculptures. We decided against staying for the fireworks at midnight cause of the cold temperatures. We could barely see them from the apartment, but caught a few glimpses over the apartment buildings across the street. We went for some alcohol at Happy Harry's and celebrated that way! ;)
So, other than that, not much new has been going on. It sucks that Amy and Chris are leaving tomorrow morning. It's been great having them here. It's been fun! Plus, I've gotten quite used to having someone else in the apartment. I decided to make a resolution this year: to get a woman (not related) in my apartment sometime this year. For how long, overnight would be preferrable (hee-hee), but even for a couple hours for dinner or a movie (or both!) would suffice. We'll see how it goes...
Anyhow, I guess I'll start working on my district forecasts early tonight, since most areas have been looked at already.
Take care and Happy New Years, folks!
