Snow! What do I do with it? Slosh around? Make a snowball? Shiver?
Shivvvvvvvvvvvver. Lots!
Last Friday, I shivered down the aisle of the plane that flew me from Harlingen, Texas to Minneapolis. As I stepped off, I was welcomed by COLD! I felt it, and I got one. Instantly!
Some smart guy once told me that the body takes approximately 21 days to adjust to a new climate. I thought, having lived in Yankee territory for the majority my life, I would be exempt. Turns out, I’m not. I’m just like everyone else who goes from a 70-degree climate, to 7-below one. COLD. Shockingly COLD!
Within an hour of my landing in the Twin Cities, my dear friend, Anna Leisa, picked me up from the airport and rushed me over to the place of a favorite college past-time. Now, I know what you may be thinking: the Purple Onion, Bordertown, Wilson Library, or Dunn Bros. You’re close, but not close enough! When I was a poor college kid, I rarely had more than $1.75 in my pocket. But when I did, Emily and I would treat ourselves to a trip to the land of red and white…
TARGET!
This time, I purchased some things that would help me become reacquainted with the snow: mittens, hat, sweater, boots, jacket, and, of course, earrings. Well, those were just for fun, but I thought they would nicely accent the espresso-colored bridesmaid dress that I would wear the following evening… Heck! My dearest Chrissy Grue was to be MARRIED! And so was JAMES! In fact, they were going to marry each other! It was going to be lovely, and so I would wear lovely earrings!
Can you spot them in this photo?

I was right! The wedding was awesome: a gorgeous bride…
Chrissy (Grue) Schofield getting pretty!
…a romantic first kiss for C & J Schofield (sorry, don’t have a photo for this one), a splendid swing dance with Nicole, an FTA (not to be confused with TFA – God forbid!) reunion, quick chats with the Robisons, Jamie, Ochuk & Rebecca, Gina, William, Lee and others, and, last but NOT LEAST, having my lovely amigas and little sister as my very own “personal attendants.” (And yes, Bridesmaids need personal attendants, too!)
Alyssa, attending to my hair. Emily, criticizing. Thanks gals!
WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE? Not I! Thank you, Happy Couple, for getting married, and making the event possible!
The Happy Couple who made the event possible!
Congrats!
