Holidays, Snow, Cold, and Family

I want to start out by saying that i absolutely LOVE the last three months of every year. They are filled with so much fun its amazing! First Halloween, the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and finally New Years'! Oh yeah!
Snow is my favorite part of it. I absolutely love the snow! I don't like driving in it, that is a totally different subject, but being curled up on the couch, with a view to the outside world, with a blanket, cup of hot cocoa and a darn good book is my solution to any winter day. I also love to play in the snow :)

I can't wait until all of my finals are over, that way i can just focus on my family, friends, and relaxing. I hate being stressed out by school and the Christmas Break is the perfect time to de-stress. I also get a break from the people that i am constantly around. Not that i don't like being around them or anything, but it sure is nice to kind of get away and devote my time to something else for a little bit.

My family will get to have their first Christmas in this new house, and i am so ready. I feel that it has been a bit rocky for us all being together again. Especially for my mom, she is very fidgety not having a job, she gets bored a lot, and she hates being home by herself. So, i think it will be good for her to go out and find a job she will like after the holidays. And, i pray and pray for her to find a good job. She deserves it so much, she doesn't deserve to be mistreated like she was at her previous job for so many years.

This weekend Lyndie and I will be going to Missouri to get the Chihuahua that she bought for her mom for Christmas. She is keeping it in her dorm room over finals, haha. I hope that turns out ok. But, she will have lots of help from me and a few others as far as babysitting the puppy while she is busy working and taking finals. I am pretty excited for the road trip. :) It has been a while since i could just go on a road trip with a friend and not family. We can get some good "girl time" in. lol

I know that it sounds obnoxious, but i have been listening to Christmas Music as much as i can lately. It just doesn't seem to get old for me. I love it. I love listening to the old singers like Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, and Dean Martin. I also have been listening to Paul Potts and Andrea Bocelli lately, they really give me the shivers....they are so good! I actually cried when i listened to Paul Potts audition, it was amazing...
