As a younger girl, I always described myself as a southern girl with a northern heart.
I hated the heat and humidity where I lived, and I longed to transport up North where it was cool.
When I first met my future fiance at university, I asked him if my friend and I were to marry someday if he would be willing to live up north, he was all for it because he knew of some great job possibilities up there. Long story short, my friend and I ended up getting married, and now, my friend and I live up north. I can say that I was not prepared for the weather up here. Although I longed for a nice, cool place to live, I was not prepared for how cold and snowy the winters would be. I literally had only seen snow a handful of times before I moved up north. We never once turned on our heat in our cabin down south, so having to use heat almost year round is silly to me! I feel that my blood is too thin to live up here. I cannot guess that I dreamed of living up north my whole life, and now that I am finally here, I hate it. It is just too cold. I freeze in the winter, and most of the time, I freeze in the summer. It only gets up to about seventy-five degrees while in the day, and it drops down to the fifties at night time. I feel the coldest it ever got when I was living down south was fifty degrees, and that was in the middle of the winter! I do not like to complain to my fiance about the weather since he likes it up north, and I am the one who asked him to transport up here in the first place.
