This winter break has been absolutely incredible. Let me pick up where I left off.
So after Dustin and I came back from Flagstaff we did Christmas gift exchange with my family (Dustin/my family gifts not my gifts for my family). Then Dustin, my mom, and I went to see Avatar (it was alright).
He left on Christmas eve and I spend the day with my family.
Christmas Day was wonderful, as always. This year we had Sarah, Brandons girl friend, joining us. For Christmas I got a Forever 21 giftcard, a new double breasted pea coat, a blow drier, fishing pole, scarf, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas on DVD, cute ballet flats, an amazing robe, a bowling ball and bowling shoes from Uncle Eric, and much more. :]
My family all enjoyed the gifts I gave them which included Vans and a new Joe doll for my brother (to replace the one I ripped), "The Sprinkler Guy" stuff for my dad, workout shoes, a bunch of different things for the kitchen (including new glasses, flour canisters, dish drier, etc.), a workout DVD, and more. I got my uncle a NPR map and made him a picture frame, and my grandfather a grandparents journal where he can write down past memories of his childhood, marriage with nana, etc.- as well as give me advice for the future.
Uncle Eric came over around 11 and stayed until around 2. It is always nice to spend time with him. :]
Grandfather and Sally came over for dinner/lunch which was nice because we didn't think Grandfather was going to be able to make it over (he had gotten sick on his vacation). It was especially nice because I was able to actually have a conversation with Grandfather without Sally interrupting (Thanks to mom and dad for keeping her occupied).
The rest of the day was lovely. I got to see the Reeds before leaving for California which I did on the 28th.
San Diego-
Some of the big events included, New Years eve with Dustin and his friends at Dustins house(31st), snowboarding at Bear Mountain(29th), Playing games with Dustin and Jan, having lunch with Judge and Mrs. Harelson, the Holiday Bowl (30th), strolling around this fancy mall, and just spending time together.
Having small breaks from one another makes our time together that much more special and makes me realize how much I love him and what a huge part he is in my life.
When I got back from Cali I had lunch with Brunette 1 and 2. Most wonderful. We also did some math and figured out we have monthly visits planned for at least the rest of the semester. Wonderful. :] Love them.
I went shopping with my mom and her friend Susan, fun. And we saw Nine (the Chicago like movie- it was good but I like Chicago better). My mom and I got into a pretty bad fight about nothing (but then got over it and went to Church together). We bowled with Uncle Eric (I'm going again tomorrow :]).
My mom was in the hospital for the last 24 hours (we thought she was having a heart attack). They ran a bunch of tests on her and they concluded they think her arm being numb is just a flare-up of the arthritis in her neck. So thats good that there isn't anything going on with her heart.
I've been helping out around the house to get ready for moms birthday party... only 1 month from today! Which also, today would have been Nanas birthday. :]
Umm.. I think thats all that has been going on. But don't let that fool you- I have been just as busy as I am when I am in Tucson. Oh! I applied for a job at The Cheesecake Factory (I hate cheesecake. haha). So we'll see what happens with that. Shannon (Dustins 1/2 sister gave me a reference).
Alright well that is all for now.
new year.
