Winter Wonder Land

It's officially winter! I again ask myself the same question I always do when we get the first snowfall, "Why do I live here?" Like for example this morning, -27 degrees with windchill. Who wants to go out in weather like that for the next 4 months. Oh well, so off to work I went after bundling up Miss K in her jacket, hat and bulky mittens. Oh how she screams when we try and strap her into her car seat.

However, as I got into my vehicle and started the trek to work, it appeared that God was speaking to me that today was going to be a better day. A "Sun Dog." It was beautiful. It was a small reminder of the attitude check I needed to make sure that today was going to be the best day possible. The "Sun Dog" warmed my heart and gave me that extra little push that I needed and the motivation.

So here I am enjoying this day, and reminding myself to make each day the best day it can be.

With that in mind, join me tonight at the Y, which is a great night for Spin/Cycling. I promise a great workout that will warm you from top to bottom. 50 minutes of heart pumping, sweat pumping music. A great way to end your day, that started out with negative temperatures!
"Sun Dog" on my way to work!

It was one of those days on Sunday with the final championship games on TV. I wanted to make it a special day but did not want to be bent over the stove all day cooking. Hmmmm....I looked in the fridge and saw asparagus that needed to be used. I remembered I had a package of bacon in the freezer too. Perfect! Bacon wrapped asparagus. It turned out amazing. 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees 2. Cut the ends off the asparagus 3. Lightly coat the asparagus with olive oil (I put mine in a bag and then drizzled the olive oil and mixed it up. 4. Sprinkle asparagus spears with freshly ground pepper. 5. Divide the amount of asparagus spears in 4. Wrap a bun...

USHL and NAHL Faceoff

This is my first story- and one of three about sports. Enjoy...... USHL & NAHL Face-off Ice, snow, and blustering winds don’t keep these fans away from a hockey game. SUVs, trucks, and mini-vans of all sorts fill the parking lot. A line of 50 people stretches from the ticket window out to the sidewalk. It’s game time at the Coliseum, for the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. But the Force is coming into town, and plans to heat things up. Hockey isn’t something new to the Fargo-Moorhead area. From little mites to hockey elites, this town is filled with hockey. Currently, Fargo is the host to the North American Hockey League team known as the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. With the new Urban Plains facility planning to open its doors for the 2008 season, many people worry the Jets are going to be grounded. The Urban Plains Facility will be the home to the Force, a United States Hockey team elite tier 1 team, will likely blockade the hopes of the Jets continuing next season. T...
