Perhaps, we'll have internet at the apartment again someday. (A post-Christmas miracle?)

We're in Iowa, land of cows and (currently) snow. People keep making comments about the Amish due to my brother's Grizzly Adams beard. My cousin (who resembles Mr. Clean) is playing a paintball video game, despite having pulled out a Guitar Hero guitar to the living room also. My mom is talking about Dirty Jobs (specifically, the snake episode, but I'm sure they'll switch to something else soon). There's talk of staying up all night, just because. I love my family.
