I will post whenever I want to!

I just realized that I only have 1 post for the month of December. I don't know whether to be embarrassed or not. Whatever. This is my blog and I will post whenever I want to!

Anyway, I'm sitting in my aunt and uncle's kitchen waiting for them and my cousins to come home. My uncle is driving me to the airport in the morning. Because I'M GOING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS! It's about time too. I've been in Utah for FAR TOO LONG.

In case you were wondering, I brought my fishies with me so my little cousins could babysit them. They were very good in the car on the way here.

Funny story: the other day at work a father came in with his son and daughter. The daughter couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 years old. I was about to help someone at the register when I heard her say this: "Daddy look! This is going to be my daughter's first winter sweater!" To which he replied: "Why don't you finish school and then maybe go to college for a little while before you start thinking about having a child." To which I responded by laughing very hard for a long time.

I will say this about my job: although I miss working at American Eagle a lot, I do enjoy being able to interact with children more. I've worked at AE a few times the past couple of days and I would say HI to the little kids sitting in their strollers and the kids would glare at me and then the parents would look at me funny, like how dare I talk to or even look at their children. Relax people, I'm just trying to be nice.

Pray that there isn't a snow storm tonight. I absolutely MUST be home for Christmas. Otherwise I will have the biggest meltdown known to mankind and will despise Utah even more than I do now for the rest of eternity.

I hope that wherever you made be for Christmas that you are with people you love. That's what Christmas is all about: LOVE.
MERRY CHRISTMAS und FROHE WEIHNACHTEN!

Happy Days Are Here Again / Get Happy

This song was on Glee a few weeks ago. Rachel and Kurt sing it together. It came at the perfect time because my friends and I were all going through a hard time.
I've been listening to this song practically every day for weeks now. And now I feel like it's finally coming true...

I fly home in 15 days!

Also, I have the most amazing Gramma and Gramper ever. Angels do exist. Love you both! Thank you for being answers to my prayers.

"Happy times, happy nights, happy days are here again!"

Thankful

This is a song by Josh Groban from his Christmas CD. I think it's very appropriate for today because it's Thanksgiving.
This has been my second Thanksgiving away from my family (the first one was while I was on my mission in Germany). And the past few days leading up to today have been difficult. Every day I wonder why I'm here and why I can't be with my family. My birthday and Thanksgiving have always been spent with my family. To help me feel better my dad suggested that I write down every day something that I am thankful for. It's helped me to realize that even though I can't be with my family right now, that I am very blessed.

"There's so much to be thankful for..."
