Every winter I go through what I like to call "winter denial," where I literally dress in bright colors, eat lots of fruit and lots of seafood and pretend like winter just isn't happening. Well down here in Georgia winter denial isn't even necessary, its been great! We had a little bit of crazy weather this past week with insane wind and torrential downpours for an entire day but overall I really can't complain about the weather. I have been repeatedly warned, of course, about the fact that summertime will kill but I'm going to look on the bright side and enjoy the 60's in January. Another perk of the awesome weather has been being able to enjoy it on campus and out at the farm with Lou pony. Today we took the dogs for an adventure around the Wesleyan "lake" and got a special treat. About a month ago Mike and I spotted an interesting critter swimming in the lake and have been determined to figure out what it is, after talking with some other staff on campus we had a combination of animals that it might be. Some of the guesses were a muskrat, a rat or a beaver while we were guessing an otter. Today while walking around the lake "it" popped up right in front of us in the water and swam along the bank watching us! "It" actually popped up a few more times and then would dive back down. We're still betting on it being an otter but feel free to give your guesses!
Now that classes are back in swing and routine is returning to life I get to start looking forward to wedding planning. So at the end of February I'm heading to Savannah,Ga to meet up with Katie to go to a wedding expo. I'm so excited! We also get to shop for our bridesmaid dresses for Gray's wedding so it will be an extra productive trip. In other words prepare yourselves for lots of wedding updates! As of know we are looking at May 2014 on the Chesapeake Bay. Any suggestions or ideas are more than welcome, especially any advice from brides or grooms who have been there and gone through all of it.
