home sweet home

after a ten hour flight from munich and a two hour flight from toronto, julian, sloane and i arrived home. i was so excited the night before we left to finally come home. i do love travelling, but i miss all my friends and family after a week or so. we came home to minus 20 weather, and fresh snow! i don't know if you have to be from winnipeg to appreciate the weather, but it put a smile on my face when i got outside. germany and england were both around zero degrees and wet for the most part. i now understand wet cold. i was freezing over there. i never understood why people would always add "it's a dry cold" when talking about winnipeg winters, and now i do! being wet AND cold is awful! i should know this from taking my heat transfer course in university. wet cold is sort of like wind chill. it feels colder than it actually is. i definitely prefer the minus 20 temps in wpg to the wet cold in europe.

it feels great to be home. i missed cooking, doing laundry, tv in english, sloane's exersaucer, eating when i want, my phone, my computer, friends, family.....the list goes on. it is december, and christmas madness has begun! i will make my to do list today.
