At the beginning: Time for a New One

Wow so many things have happened since I have last written... For starters I finish my fifth semester at Snow and it went a thousand times better than I thought. My Physics class that I thought I was going to fail, well I got a B haha not even close to a failing grade. :-)

Then came the WONDERFUL Christmas break! Oh I loved being at home with my mom and just spending time talking with her. It was so great just being at home and relaxing. I love my mom. She is such a lucky dog because she gets to relax all day (well not sure it is relaxing considering she doesn't really like it). Anyways, it was just fun because for the first part of my break it was just my parents and me.

Funny thing was I actually loved having it that way. Yes I missed my siblings, but for once there really wasn't any fighting or mess around the house. It was a peaceful Christmas.

Then came my favorite part of the break... Yup Scott came home. :-)

He was home for a week getting to see where I live and what is around San Diego. We had a lot of fun! He was able to meet my mom for the first time and that is a big deal considering she cannot go anywhere to visit so it was very nice for them to meet each other. The bigger deal though was Scott and I didn't "set her off".

(My mom is allergic to pretty much all chemicals so it is hard for her to really travel and have people over, let alone stay over. When she gets an allergic reaction because someone has some kind of chemical smell it "sets her off". This could be something as simple as someone's deodorant. So YES it was HUGE deal!)

Anyways, the gift giving was a cool part too. I got my favorite movie of all time on DVD, of course it is THE LION KING, and a really cool expensive camera so all durning the break we were able to use it! Scott gave me my third favorite gift (well that is to say if it could be favorites).

He spent many hours working on it and even some of his family members got involved helping him get finished with it before he came over. It is this amazing wood box! I love it! Can you believe he actually made it?!!!! Literally for the first five minutes or so all I could say was WOW... You can even ask him for yourself. The whole time he was laughing at me while my jaw was dropped and I was speechless. Which may or may not be a rare occasion when I am with him especially because we love talking with each other.

Speaking of talking with each other and how much Scott and I love it can you guess how long we talked on the phone for over the ten days we didn't see each other over the break??? Haha if you guessed a little over 1,600 minutes you are correct. I told you, we just love talking with each other.

I think that is enough writing for now. Pictures are the most fun anyways right? I hope you had a great break too and are getting into the swing of things a lot faster than I am... I'm not sure I still am in the whole "lets get studying" mode.
