Day 2 in North Dakota
I'd hoped today would be more interesting than yesterday... and I guess it was. Just a bit.
This morning Adrienne and I got to sleep in while Ryan was off to work! When we finally got up and around, it was still snowing, so we just kinda sat around. Finally I rejoiced when she offered me a beer for lunch! "Booze is good food," she told me. This bliss was too good to be true though - after I got my beer, she put me to work stamping and licking envelopes for hers and Ryan's "save the date" cards.
When Ryan got home, they decided I should see some sights, so we drove around a little until they realized that a) the weather was bad and b) there are really no sights to see in Grand Forks. Adrienne didn't have time to knit me a scarf (something about being a full time grad student who also has a job and who also is planning a wedding?), but she let me borrow one of hers for the drive. Here I am with the Grand Forks sign... Thank goodness Adrienne's Saab has those heated seats.
The best part is that after all that driving around in the cold and snow, Ryan and Adrienne took me to Qdoba and we got some kickass burritos to take home with us. Spent the evening chowing down on burritos, watching MST3K (that's Mystery Science Theatre 3000, for you non-fans) and Sealab 2021 DVDs. I don't think the sun shines in this part of the country, but this life ain't so bad... as long as I can stay indoors!
