This morning when I walked to school it was -11 (-20 with the wind chill (about a 20-25 minute walk, I was walking fast today, so we'll say 20)). Apparently, and I did not know this, that is cold enough to cancel public schools here in Michigan (not the university, K-12 schools). It wasn't snowing or anything, they just close down because it's so cold. Emily offered to give me a ride, but she'd only been able to get a few hours of sleep, and we didn't want to take Lizzie out to the car in that kind of cold.
When I got to my building I had ice formed on my eyelashes because of my breath hitting them. That made me feel tough. Like I could hack it in the arctic.
Having closed the MI chapter of our lives, where we met, fell in love, and survived graduate school together, we are now on to being professors in ID. While we enjoy teaching, our lives revolve around each other and our kids: Lizzie & Kit.
