After New Years, it was officially time to get back to my thesis and "normal" life; however, Mother Nature had another plan! For 3 days, the whole city was shut down due to snow which turned into a thick ice sheet covering the whole city and extending our holiday vacation. There were people curling and iceskating everywhere in the streets and it was almost impossible to walk on the side walks! It was crazy, but oh so fun! :D After all, who doesn't love a good snow/ice day?! Charlie was less amused, but we sure enjoyed ourselves!

On a sad note, Gerben and I are no longer dating and I recently moved in with a friend of mine. :( Break-ups are hard no matter what the circumstances, but I believe we will adjust and continue the way best for both of us. Things just don't always go how you want them to sometimes, but that is just life. So there.
BUT to end on a more uplifting topic, I want to congratulate my two wonderful colleagues, whom last week passed their thesis defenses! Go Runa! Go Nele! YAHOOOOO!!! I am so proud (and jealous!) that you not only finished school, but did so with high spirits, high class and high marks! I hope I can follow in the same way! haha You're awesome!!!
Meanwhile in Idaho....
Well, that's all for now folks!! You'll be hearing again from me soon as I have travel plans in the cooker! Until then I love and miss you all, like always! xoxo
