Its Darrrrrrrk!

Hi All,

One of the super awesome things about being up here, or anywhere in the north for that matter, is the super awesome darkness. I didn't love it in Iceland and I am not loving it here. I am not having as much of an issue with it here because of my work schedule but in general I find the dark to be depressing. This is pretty ironic though because I consider myself a night-owl. Its just hard to be a night-owl all day long :)

The countdown is on until I go home for Christmas. I cannot wait to get home. Seems like so long since I have been home even though its only been since August-Septemer. Looking forward to seeing friends and family and also SUBWAY, my love.

The fan is going to Halifax for New Years which should be fun, have a nice meal, watch the fireworks, stay at the Westin, then a nice breakfast.

I wish that we were going down south this year at Christmas, its so cold up here that the south would be so nice. Maybe in the spring!!!

You may see me post on this blog more now that it is so cold, and so dark. For example it is now 10am its is dark out, it will be until noon. Then by 5pm it will be dark as night again. The temperature has actually warmed up for the last few days to -25, mmmmmm super nice! It has been -35 so ill take -25 over that any day.

Here are some photos for your enjoyment. :)
