i have started to make the Swedish noises!! if you haven't been to Sweden you wouldn't know what i'm talking about so i'll try to explain: Swedish people often make these little noises in response to things or as a way of showing that they are being attentive when someone is telling a story or explaining something... its difficult to try to spell the way they sound so i won't even try but it's crazy that i have begun to do this and only realized after abi pointed it out to me this weekend.
(speaking of which abi is one of the best people i have ever met. she will change the world)

there is snow on the ground as well as snow in the air. plus i just ate a ton of gluten free pepparkakor so life is good.
