The Struggle Is Real...

Hello there my friends!

I hope your Christmas season is simply splendid, are you all done shopping? Have you found that perfect gift for that special someone yet? Don't worry I know you will!

I recently enjoyed a phone call from my fiance in which he was attempting to wrap presents for his first time since he was very little. The following is what happened during our phone call.

Chris *wrapping paper crunching loudly* "oh.... I got it.... wait...."

Me "You ok?"

Chris *louder wrapping paper noises* "almost.. got it.. and that's how it's done." *wrapping paper ripping* "...you're suppose to see the present after you wrap it right....?"

Me "Of course dear!"

Chris *wrapping noise continues* "...tried to use the extra wrapping paper for a bow... ya that didn't happen"

Chris *wrapping stops & cue music* "...it's the most wonderful time of the year..." *crunch, chrunch* "this is awful.... *sigh*....what time is it?"

Me "it's 10:12pm"

Chris "yup the rest are going in gift bags... 4 are hand wrapped that's all you get... I give up"

Me "I love you"

 

In his defense he didn't have any professional help.

And for the record I loved every gift he wrapped and didn't!

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas Eve and don't forget the reason for this joyous season of giving.

Merry Christmas!

Three Down One To Go

It's over! Finals week is over, and yes I've made it out alive.

I can't believe it, my third semester of college is over (and if I do say so myself, I've gotten some pretty good grades.)

Now I simply cannot wait to fly into Chicago within a matter of 48hrs!

In preparation for leaving school I have been listening to the wonderful Alabama Christmas album *my favorite Christmas album of all time*

You haven't heard of it?! *gasp* Let me give you a little taste of Christmas magic for your ears!

 Besides listening to this wonderful Christmas album, I've been packing for my flight home.

I love packing...

You don't get it I love packing. I will pack and unpack my suit case at least a few times before flying, it's like a grown up tetris game.

Although while I am packing and getting ready for break my heart is still with those who have finals still a head of them...

Be strong my friends, be very strong.
