December in Miami

So, I am not really sure what to think. The weather here has been pretty much bi-polar. When John and I decided to move here, we were told to not bring any of our winter clothes and not to worry about coats. Well since that came from SO many people, my mother included who lived here for 20 years, we didnt bring much. LUCKILY, I am smart enough to have brought a few sweaters- BUT it's FREEZING today! It was 36 this morning. I know it's colder in Raleigh right now, but that's even cold in Raleigh usually. SO, I am wearing one of the 3 sweaters that I brought. lol. I wish I had my Emus. I know, I know, the girl that usually wears flip flops until their is snow on the ground wants her warm shoes. Well even if I want them- I am still wearing flip flops. lol. What really blows my mind is that on Saturday and Sunday it was in the 80's here and I was on the beach laying in the sun. John and I were even able to get in the ocean, albeit a chilly ocean, but we still got in! It was really nice and perfect out. I want the weekend weather I was promised was the average for December back! lol. I always thought the weather in Raleigh was ridiculous with the large swings in temperature, I guess it is more normal than I thought. :D

On another note- in 1 week I will be home!!!! I know I will have a cold shock, but I am still so excited! I LOVE living in Miami- but I miss home. John leaves me Thursday in the early AM. He is going to drive so we can take a bunch of stuff home. I cant believe he is going to drive that whole way by himself. If he wasnt going to his childhood best friends weddings on the 18th- he would wait, but he really wants to be there for his friend. I get that. I hope to fly home early March to be there for my childhood best friend when she has her baby :D So anyways, I am excited and cant wait.

My best friend Krystal always posts all of these amazing recipes on her blog and I want to steal them all. tonight I am going to be making her peppermint bark :D I'll let you know how it goes!

ps. That exciting announcement I have for you- I almost have the details, but not yet. BUT hopefully soon!
