where has the time gone? i cannot belive it has been over two weeks since i last posted! so much has happened since then and i think i've been more busy than i've ever been in my life.
my week at home was fantastic. i got to be there for katie's 4th birthday, which was a blast. i took her to pick up her cake. i think that was the first time i'd ever driven her and taken her somewhere alone before, which was cool. gary is quite protective of who she rides in the car with haha. so, just to give you a heads up on what is new with her, she is very into people now playing with her. you know like giving the toys names and playing out a story, which is cute, but tiring. her speech as also improved so much even in the last few months. you can actually have conversations with her now. other than that, she is simply always a blessing in my life, although frustrating at times. :) i love her
i also hung out with justin over my break. we started the evening by going out to a family dinner at a sushi restaurant, then we began designing t-shirts and wen to get materials...that turned out to be an adventure from Michale's to old navy to walmart and back to Michale's. we eventually gave up working on them for the evening and opted to go see a movie (2012). in the morning i took justin back to whittier, made yet another trip to Michale's and then hung out at his house for a while cutting out stencils of letters for our shirts. i had to leave to go babysit katie, so justin ended up finishing the shirts...they actually look pretty cool (i'll have to post a picture). it was originally for jenna's birthday present, but now we all have matching ones....great haha.
another highlinght was getting to see my friends-august, amy and grace. august came over wednesday night and we finally finished out painting (another picture is in order) that we started back in july or something. then friday we all got together and hung out for a bit by going to yogurt land and the park. august then had to leave and grace, amy and i went out and got some chipotle for dinner. then grace had to also depart, so amy and i decided to go see New Moon. ridiculous, i know. i still had a blast though...it was so good to see them!
other than that, the rest of my break was pretty relaxing. i got a lot of good family time in. unfortunately i got sick on Thanksgiving and basically woke up, helped my mom make some food, made pies, went back to sleep, socialized, ate dinner and then went to bed. it was still good though.
i headed back up to Westmont on the train on sunday and this week went pretty well. thought there were many good things happening this week, some bad and some tedious, that has left me no time to post. tuesday and wednesday night i had 4 hour rehersals for our Christmas concert that is on friday, saturday and sunday. in addition to that, i've had two exams, a major drawing project due, two eight page papers due within a day of each other, a speech and a social life. it's been crazy.
on wednesay we did get to play in the snow though. a snow machine came and dumped 20 tons of snow on our campus so that we could all play in it. we had a massive snowball fight and lots of attempted sledding. it was a blast! also wednesday night was a quite fancy dinner in the d.c (dining commons). thursday past in a blur and friday night was the opening night of the concert. the church was packed, but luckily everything ran smoothly, as did the second showing that occurred tonight. the music is quite beautiful that everyone preforms.
today also was the day our our section NCTO, which stand for non-committal take out and your roommate has to ask a date for you. i think a good time was had by all, but i'll comment more on that at a later date and hopefully i can get some pictures up then as well.
have a wonderful night/day, everyone. and enjoy this Christmas season. :)
