Hey guys! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
It's been a while since I posted, but it has also been that crazy time of year, also knowon as Christmas. So school is over, grades (all but one) have been posted.. things went well.. not A+ like I would like.. but with how busy I was, I think I faired pretty well. I can't believe it's over! (at least for now). I've filled out my graduation application and will be sending it in when I get home! Home you ask? That will come in a bit.
So Christmas Ry's dad came over for a visit from Scotland.. it was nice to see him. OMG! I think I might go nuts if he was here all the time :P He's all about Geneology.. which is great! But all year round? I dunno. Amazing that he can remember all the names and years of birth, death, etc. off the top of his head though. Anyhoo.. so we had a Chrismaukah dinner with him, Ry's mom and step dad, Ry's sister and her bf and daughter. They came here and I cooked ham, yams (sooooooo tastey.. need a great recipe email me!), stuffing, salad, peas, corn, and I baked pumpkin pies. (I have to admit that I did buy my crusts this time.. I just didn't have time to bake them). Then I decorated, put up our 4 foot tree (red and silver.. looked sooooooo nice.. post pics if I get them from Ry. It turned out well, Ry's mom brought the turkey, everyone liked the food.. we opened presents.. all in all it was a nice evening. LOOOOOOOOOONG day.. I totally wanted to pass out at the end of it, but it was worth it.
Christmas dinner we went to Ry's grandparent's after we opened our gifts and opened gifts from them and Ry's sister. We did really well! We got some canisters, a jumbo george forman grill, an awesome electric wok, gift cards, awesome pictures of his little niece claire :) *gushes* She is soooooooo cute!!! just a ton of cool stuff! I got some great PJ pants, undies and a killer bra from Ry.. I love when he makes his trips to lasenza :P Some smelly stuff from Body Shop.. good times! Plus Ry gave me gift certificates for a homemade dinner for 2 :) a trip to the shooting range, and a trip to the spa of my choice! Then boxing day we got leather jackets for super cheap. YAY! Did some shopping, then I went to work, then we watched March of the Penguins with Ry's dad and uncle. OMG! I Looooooooooooooved that movie! It was amazing to see what lengths the go to to have children. How they work together as a group to help themselves is just amazing! It's incredible.. and there were definately parts that were sad. I highly recommend it! I want to buy it :)
So anyhoo.. last week has just spent doing this that, coffee, work.. omg! I forgot.. Jehn bought me this awesome necklace that's got chakra stones.. it's to help keep me centered.. plus it's gorgeous. I love it!
Anyhoo.. back to New Years.. we did nothing! It was great! Crawled into our PJs and watched a movie with Jehn. Drank some wine, goofed around.. it was really fun... doing nothing. It's not what I would want to do all the time.. but it was good. Silly thing though.. I texted a bunch of people at midnight, and omg! At around 3am I got texts and calls from like 7 people! I think the messages got delayed because it was busy on the network.. it was good times! LOL!
Today has been a great lazing around day.. did a bit of shopping for Ry's papa.. and then.. we were planning our VEGAS TRIP! OMG!!! THREE SLEEPS TILL WE GO!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
We were looking at the insanity ride on our hotel.. HOLY BEEEJEEEZERS!! http://www.insanityride.com/ Click on the video.. WOW!
I can't wait to go! Morgan and I have sooooo many fun days of shopping to do! I can't wait to go to sephora... :) And the outlet malls! YIPPEEEE!!!!
Any requests? :)
We're going to be there for 7 days/6 nights.. YAY! It'll be our first real vacation together, and I'm really looking forward to going with Morgan and Mark.. b/c it'll be nice to have someone else to be there with.. a girl to hang with when Ry gets too caught up in the electronics convention and another guy for ry to talk shop with :)
