cold is temporary. glory is forever!

it couldn’t have lasted 15 seconds and i don’t have a picture of me ACTUALLY in the lake (my mom was too busy preparing to save me with a broom that she didn’t snap a picture!), but i know i did it … and i have all of you to thank. so thanks for freaking my mom out [unnecessarily, of course, we now see that i did not die in the lake], thanks for making me more cold than i’ve been in a long, long while, possibly ever, and thanks most especially for helping me crush my goal of $500 ($739 and counting!!) raised for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by january 8th.

more details to come as my fingers warm up …
