Hello, Spring? Are you there?

The snow is melting, the snow is melting!!! ....But it looks like it's going to rain... :( Still, all the same, yesterday I saw the first bit of grass trying to peek out from under the snow. I don't honestly want the snow to melt really fast, because I am NOT looking forward to another flood. Helping sandbag my friends' aunt and uncle's home for 10 hours only to find out their home was most likely going to go under water with the new (at that time) crest prediction... Luckily this year Fargo and Moorhead want to be ready for it and are requesting to have 1 million sandbags by St. Patrick's Day. I already know a few people who have gone to help. Even Al Franken came to help sandbag the other day.

On a lighter note, it is soooooooooo refreshing to be able to go outside with just a sweatshirt on and NO COAT!!!!! I went to the mall with no coat on Thursday and I am pretty sure it was one of the highlights of my day!

This week it's supposed to be gorgeous out as well so hopefully I can walk to class with NO COAT!!! I think it's funny how we cold weather folk can get so excited over the little things. But it's true! Speaking of, I saw a Facebook group the other day that was for Minnesotans who don their t-shirt and shorts when its 30 degrees out. I thought it was actually fairly accurate. I've seen some people already start wearing their flip flops, and I hate to admit, I contemplated it as well. But common sense finally came around and I realized how crazy of an idea that is... I mean, there is still SNOW on the ground!!!!

All in all, I am soooo ready for spring. It is welcome to come any day in my book. Until then, I will keep my spring clothes and shoes handy. That way, I am ready to bask in it's glory the moment it arrives!!!
