At five to twelve, we went up to the roof. There were some fireworks but less than I had imagined.

Waking up on Monday, I once again had a view — a beautiful wintry view.

Now, I’m not really someone who would walk around with a calendar with my own face on it all year, so this will be a present for my fiance. (He better use it!).

I love the snow, but I miss wearing nice shoes!
