Snowmageddon?

Ok, since I decided to write this, I know Mother Nature will finally realize I don't live on the East coast anymore. However, I just wanted to send out a few well wishes to all my friends on the East coast. Ride out this nor'easter and stay safe. 

Yes, Wisconsin has been cold. Not as cold as last year I have been told, but definitely colder than what NJ or NY has seen since I have lived there. One thing WI hasn't seen a lot of?... SNOW!  I think my neck of the Midwest has seen maybe 8 inches of snow total since the winter has started. My mom saw 8 inches of snow last Saturday alone. Besides not having any snow, the sun also forgot where the Fox Cities are located on the map. I know that the winter is usually depressing, but the East coast does see sun once and a while. Hey Wisconsin, take note. 

The western area of NJ, good luck with your 6-12 inches of additional snow. Eastern area of NJ, NY and Boston friends, good luck with the blizzard and the additional 20-30 inches of snow. 

I will go on record and say that WHEN we (WI) gets a freak snow storm in August, you can absolutely blame me since that bitch Mother Nature has finally found me. 

New year, new state, new and old friends

A lot has changed since January 2014. Some good, some bad, but all leading towards a life I am grateful for. I don't know what 2015 has in store for me, but I will always be true to myself. I will live life independently, with love for my friends and family all while taking life day by day and not for granted. 

I am especially thankful for the friends that have welcomed me to Wisconsin and my friends back on the east coast. I had a wonderful end to 2014 by introducing some of my closest NJ friends to my new midwest friends. Being surrounded by friendly, welcoming new and old people was extremely reassuring.   

Celebrating the ball drop twice (though we missed the second one) with some fantastic people, gave me such great hope and happiness for a year of uncertainties, possibilities and adventures. 

Thank you to Craig, Arnel, Kerry, Anita, Adria, Genevieve, Caleb, Janelle, Eric, Megan, Mary, Mike, and Eric for celebrating the new year with Jim and I. The Jersey Shore dance party, beer pong, Indian, cards against humanity, laughter, and prom poses made for an unforgettable night. I hope you all had a great time as much as Jim and I did. 

Here's to 2015. May it bring everyone happiness, health and wealth.
