I really am trying to catch up on my blogging, and I'm so close!
After moving back to the US from Switzerland, I had about a month at home in Minneapolis before I moved to Ann Arbor to start my new postdoc. It sounded like a long time at first, but it totally flew by.
One of the highlights was going to (possibly) the last Hollidazzle parade ever. There's something that's just so Minnesotan about going to an outdoor parade in the dead of winter, and I loved seeing some of the same floats that I've been seeing since I was a child.
In preparation for Christmas, there was a lot of cookie baking that happened as well.
We spent Christmas in Minnesota, but then traveled down to Nebraska for the weekend after to spend time with my grandparents. We had a really nice time together, doing the daily jumble, going for walks in the much warmer Nebraska weather, visiting family nearby, and playing board games. It was really a sweet time together that I'm really glad we had.
Besides a trip to Mexico (which will get its own post), a lot of the rest of my time in Minnesota was spent packing and organizing for my move to Ann Arbor. And, of course, enjoying the time with my family and puppy!
