and so break begins...:)

First of all: Christmas is officially one week from today!! This is blowing my mind....I don't believe it. I can remember when I was a little kid and December seemed to be the longest month....it took forever for the 25th to finally come around. Now it sneaks up on me and is here before I know it! I might also help if it was snowing outside or something....60 degree weather in the middle of December doesn't feel much like Christmas to me!

Second of all: I am done for the semester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!

I have had a great start to the break! I took my last final Thursday and to celebrate being finished, a couple of housemates and I had a coloring party while we watched Christmas movies and drank hot chocolate! :) And yes...I am 22 and I love to color still! It was one of the highlights of my week actually! Something that made that day even better though....my dear friend Stefanie who is currently living in Colorado showed up! She wasn't supposed to be home until Friday, but she surprised us all and came a day early!! What a great surprise!

Today was an awesome day and much needed!! It started out with breakfast at Hanover's with some of the Chi Alpha girls...and baby Benjamin! :) Their biscuits and gravy=delicious! Which reminds me, I have leftovers for breakfast! :) That was followed by the best coffee date ever with some of my favorite people....Tay, Ari, Stef and Kelsey! :) We may have sat at Starbucks talking for about 3 1/2 hours! It was a great time. We all live in the same hall here at the Chi Alpha House....correction, we LIVED in the same hall...Stef now lives in Colorado. It was a nice hall reunion and the first time ALL of us had hung out together in a while! There was lots of laughing (as always) and good conversation!

Tonight....we went and looked at Christmas lights!!! Topeka Bible Church has a really awesome Christmas light show and if you live in Topeka but have never been, you need to go!! If you don't live in Topeka, I hope someday you are able to experience it. But here is a link to give you an idea of what it is all about! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIOM6FO4Gvc  It's so awesome!! We followed this up with looking at the Christmas lights in the Potwin neighborhood. There are a lot of beautiful houses decorated with lots of beautiful Christmas lights....what more do you need?! ;)

That's all for now though.

Be on the look out for more posts! I am now on break so I will have more time to write...and I have several things I want to write about so be prepared! :)
