So, these lows of thirty degrees and highs of fifty….that’s just for the birds. This thin-skinned desert rat is no longer a Minnesotan.

Sure, I was born in Fargo, ND (yes, they DO talk like the characters in the movie FARGO!) and then raised in Minnesota (yes, they DO have the twang, too)–but a cold-weather girl no longer am I!

***SHIVER***

But, the shivers are worth it right now as I get to stroll around the campus that changed my life.

I ventured off to SSU (it was called SSU back then) to play tennis and hopefully get a degree. My high school performance indicated my getting stellar grades in college was still up for debate!

In the end, I DID finish–with honors mind you–with a Psych degree. But most importantly….I met my HUBBY here at this college! So, it’s really great to be here with him again after seventeen years! Strolling down memory lane, going to the place we had our first date, and hanging out with some college buddies.

**LIFE IS GOOD**

What are you doing this weekend?
