Sorry I haven't posted lately... Last week Grandma B. was down here in Iowa City for surgery on her neck so we got to see her and my mom a lot which was nice. She has gone back to Cedar Falls now and it sounds like she is doing well so that is very good news! These past few days we've had some really weird weather here. I think our first snow was pretty early, and now we have had a lot of freezing rain that just doesn't seem normal for Iowa. Normally it's just rain or snow, not much of a mix like we've had lately. Anyway, today we had the worst of the freezing rain I think and we lost our power from about 4 - 8 pm tonight. Aaron's parents had pity on us and had us come over for dinner which was very nice - I was really trying to think of what I could fix for supper without an oven, stove, or microwave! :) I'm very glad the power is back on so that the house can stay warm! On a related note, they canceled University classes this afternoon and evening which they rarely ever do. I was reading the university website and it made me laugh - it said that the only exception was the College of Dentistry! :) It figures... Well, I suppose all of the patients are counting on the students being there so it makes sense - still, it's kind of funny that they cancel class for everyone else but the dental students can still brave the ice! :)
Well, I have finals week coming up and the first of many tests starts tomorrow. Then one on Friday, two on Monday, one on Wednesday, and the last one on next Friday. At least they space it out! And then it's Christmas break! Hope you all are staying warm and your power is on!
