Merry Christmas everyone!

Currently I am in northern Minnesota without cell phone reception! I am a lost soul. No checking my text messages, no sending picture messages, and no incoming calls! That's what happens when your parents live 6 miles from Canada and 2 hours to the nearest McDonalds. There is not one stop light in the county that I grew up in.

It's hard to imagine what my life was like before I became addicted to my Blackberry. I seriously don't remember.

I am enjoying my mom's homemade cookies, sitting by the fire and reading, and catching up with friends and family.

At least I have internet access. Now there would be a huge problem!

I did receive an important email regarding the condo I just purchased for an investment. It flooded when I was up here. Nice. I then spent an hour on the phone with my insurance company trying to file a claim and I keep getting disconnected because my parents phone was going in and out of service due to the snow storm. I finally got the claim filed and I will deal with it when I get home.

Well, hope all is well with everyone....back to surfing the net, my only connection to the world right now.

my dad's real estate website up here is: www.pahlenrealty.com

Houses are CHEAP up here!
