Frostbite anyone?!




Jason and I flew up to St. Louis this past weekend for help my best friend Claire celebrate her engagement. I absolutely love her fiance Matt and am so excited about her upcoming wedding. Jason and I got to attend our first Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. These are huge in St. Louis. The object is to wear the tackiest Christmas outfit. Jason and I went to goodwill here in Dallas and didn't find any. I guess here in Texas people like to keep their sweaters and wear them often. Jason and I borrowed some from Claire. I've attached some pictures for your viewing pleasure. I was also able to help Claire find her wedding dress, which was very fun.

The next day while everyone was nursing their hangovers (I was sober Sally), Jason and I went to have lunch with a friend of mine and then we visited her family. I've known the Robbins for over 20 years so its always fun going over there to talk to my 2nd family. Alison is getting married too so I will be in 2 weddings this fall.
Then it was off to the Baby's first St. Louis Blues game. Most of you know I'm a huge hockey fan. I was very excited to be able to take Jason to see my team in STL. It was nice to be able to cheer with other fans. Usually we go see them when they're in town to play the Stars and I always get funny looks when I show up in my Blues jersey. It was nice to fit in. The Blues lost, but it was a good game. What wasn't fun was having to walk back to the car when it was 4 degrees with 30 mph winds with a windchill of -15. It was so cold I have wind burn on my hands. Jason was miserable. He had never been that cold. He wore 3 shirts the entire time. We welcomed the 30 degree weather in Dallas when we returned.

Overall it was a quick trip to STL, but I was able to spend some time with my friends.
