Merry Christmas

Well just so everyone knows I did make it to the U.P. without any problems. The weather was kind of bad when I flew in. It was blowing really hard and snowing a bit too. From Appleton to Green Bay there were 23 cars that I counted in the ditch. I could not believe it. But we made it home in one piece. I should have taken pictures. So far vacation has been good. There have been some low parts, but I can fill you all in later.

Christmas went really well. My brother had his girlfriend here and we all opened presents and the night before we had Santa at my grandma Karen's house. It was a lot of fun. I got everything that I asked for this year. My I-pod is so cute. My mom had it personalized on the back. I will take a picture and post it, but since I am here without my discs to load on their new computer, I won't be posting any pictures until after January 4th.

I hope everyon had a wonderful Christmas and next comes New Years. See you all soon.

My Wonderful Weekend

So I have to say that right now I feel really blessed. I have loads of great people in my life and as I get to know more people, I just feel even more blessed. If you all remember this summer I was dating my friend Carolyn's nephew, Dan. We dated for awhile and then we broke up, well you know how girls can be. We are now back together and it has been back and forth ever since he moved back to Colorado in September. Once he moved away I just found that I need to tell him certain things and ever since I have told him my feelings, we have been back and forth. Of course we are back and forth with being together because of the distance.

Anyways about two weeks ago we got back together and we said this time was it. We were not going to do the whole rollercoaster thing anymore. I told him it was just to much for me to do with the whole emotions and all that. So we have been doing really well and as soon as he said we could try the long distance again, he said "I am coming to see you this weekend." This is how the whole things happened. He decided to come and see me, but then it snowed between here and there so he couldn't come that first weekend. But he bought a plane ticket and was here the next weekend, which brings me to my wonderful weekend.

Dan flew out here on Friday of this past weekend and was here until last night. We hung out in Vegas and spent the rest of the weekend at his Aunt's house. We had a lot of fun together and I really got to see that he really has feelings for me and I think he saw that I mean business. I kept on him all weekend about our plans and what is next. But I will remember this for sure,"If it is meant to be, it will happen." This is what Dan told me on sunday night during our long talk. I just had to have some closure or some idea of what is in store for us. He is going to start school in January and I am so excited. This has been part of our rollercoaster. He just has not been to sure about things, but now he is good to go.

I had a wonderful weekend and I enjoyed spending time with him and getting away from my normal routine. I am pretty sure this relationship will be good to go for awhile. But I really miss him right now and I am totally greatful to him and his aunt.

Here is a picture of us from this summer.

15 Days Until I Go Home

So in 15 days I will get to see my parents and family and friends! I can't wait, but I have quite the list of things to do before that.

* Wrap Presents for Sub for Santa
* Finish teaching
* Do Lesson Plans for after break
* Clean the house really well
* Spend time with my grandpa
* Spend a weekend with a good friend
* Finishing Shopping for Grandpa's gift
* Do Christmas with him
* Bake Some Cookies for Christmas here

I am sure once I get home, my mom will have a long list for me there. I know she is hoping to have the tree up, presents wrapped, and all decorating down. All that would be left is baking and I love that part. I can't wait to go though! It will be fun!
