If you are planning on sending anything by mail to Dan or I for Christmas, make sure it gets in the mail early enough to get here by THIS FRIDAY the 18th! This is important and I'm sorry for not giving the warning earlier but I only just found out myself. Our school post office will be closing for Christmas break, and anything that doesn't arrive by Friday the 18th we will not get until the end of the first full week of January. We promise not to open anything until Christmas Day if you tell us to do so.
Also, for some reason our comment system seems to be quite out of whack. We are trying to figure out why. Until then, if your comments aren't getting through, we apologize.
Dan is working hard on final projects, exams, etc. It snowed here all day yesterday and we probably have a foot or more but the weather is absolutely GORGEOUS today. Sunny and sparkly: it's like a magical world out there. (or a vampire... hehe)
Today we are going to this awesome place in Rochester that has a huge display of really elaborate gingerbread houses. I will try to post pictures if I can.
Love,
Hilary

What do a Deer, a Cow, a Pig, and a Turkey have in common?
Answer: They were all served and eaten at Thanksgiving dinner. Yum.
Hilary posting, FYI.
Our trip home was eventful, but tons of fun. We got to spend a lot of time with a lot of different family members, and really enjoyed ourselves. It's a bit sad that we won't make it home for Christmas, but at the same time it will be nice to make our own tradition for once.
Tonight Dan and I went to the youth group we volunteer at. Well, I went, and Dan was going to go, but on the way there (of course it happened on the night we were already running late) we got pulled over because our taillight was out. So Dan dropped us off, went to Olean to get a new light bulb, and Tom is fixing it right now. This is important because we were given 24 hours to fix it and confirm that it got fixed or else we get a ticket. Stupid New York. Oh well.
Anyway, at youth group tonight they had the kids play this stupid game where they had a glass of water, and they had to take a sip, and then they added steak sauce to the water, and they had to take another sip, and then ketchup... etc etc etc. Anyway, the point of the game was to see who could drink the most gross ingredients. It seems like every other game they play at this group is a game which the goal is to make people puke. It kinda weirds me out. I don't actually like working with this youth group very much... but God must have a reason for wanting us there. Either that or we committed too early and are stuck now. One or the other. Either way, I am committed to learning as much as I can from the experience, even if it is just a whole pile of here's what NOT to do.
Anyway, not much else is new for now. Talk to you all later.
Love,
Hilary
