Yeah it is freezing here

Yeah it is freezing here still too. We got dumped on and couldnt drive the car because of bad driving conditions one day, so we just took a car fast. We still have to do door contacts but if i gets bellow 10 we aren't allowed to be outside for more than five minutes so we can't do contacts if it is that cold. But everything is going well, we have had some weird experiences such as getting cursed by some old dude. Also i got swindled out of 20 dollars by some guy on the street :(. I am a freaking idiot, but o well i just counted it as MSF money. But yeah other than those nothing new is going on really, just having a good ol time freezing in michigan.
I hope everything is going well in Utah and that you had fun with the grandparents. I miss and love you.
Eu te amo,
