9 degrees below 0, an Oklahoma blizzard



Well, as I said before, it is absolutely freezing, or actually well below freezing. The forecast for this week read something like:
-7, -9, 7, 23
It is so odd to see the 7 day forecast with single digits. You think they are cheating you with a 3 day or something. So, we love 20 degree weather now. We can walk outside or play and we don't even necessarily need our gloves. Anything below that is freezing.

Sunday morning we woke up to our first "big" snow, about 4 inches. Here in ND you wake up to the sound of snow blowers instead of lawn mowers. People wake up early and excited to shovel snow!

We went to a new church on Sunday and we liked it better. I think we will go back. And- big news, we have friends!!!
We had met a couple at church our first week here and hadn't seen them since but we ran into each other at the mall on Friday night. Anyways, they came over for dinner on Saturday night and stayed to hang out. They are a lot like Tyler and Kendall so that is good news for them. Then we went to church together and lunch afterwards on Sunday. Thank you Jesus! Even Baker missed the interaction of inviting people into our home.

This is a video of Sunday as Brian is shoveling our driveway b/c like I said- people are a little OCD about it here.
