finals.

Well...I have been slacking on my blog posts. I apologize about that! I have been so busy with school and work and spending time with friends. I am officially done with classes and all I have left to get through is finals week! I have 4 tests, a project, and a few random assignments left. It will be a busy week for sure, but I sure am excited to be done! I am really looking forward to Christmas Break!!!!! Lots of friend time, book reading, spending time with family, movie time and some more friend time!! :)

Last night I celebrated my first "Christmas" of the season! We had our Chi Alpha Christmas party! We all met up at El Mezcal, which is a mexican restaurant. It is very similar to El Pueblito back home (the best Mexican restaurant in my opinion!) so it made me think of home a lot. But it was pretty good....still not quite the same as El Pueblito though! :) After eating, Ariona and I made a quick detour to Classic Bean which is a coffee shop for a yummy chai latte! Then back to the House we went. We did Secret Santa.... last week whoever wanted to participate wrote on a card with their name. 3 things they wanted for $10, and then we drew names. I ended up with a Starbucks gift card!! Heck yes! Just in time for finals week! Thanks Michael!


Tomorrow, we will be celebrating Christmas with the Eccles side of the family! I am looking forward to it! Excited to see everyone again! This year will be a little bit different though...we lost two special people last year. In fact, the Christmas get together last year was the last time a lot of us were able to see Uncle Alan and TJ before the car accident. I know that we will all enjoy each other and it will be a wonderful time, but I know that we will all be missing them. Nonetheless, our time together will be full of laughter and fun! :) Anndddd I get to see my parentals, my goofy brothers, and Kelli!! :) It shall be a great day!


After finals week is over I will get back into the swing of things in the world of blogging. I really do enjoy it, and I have so much I want to write, but my stack of homework is calling my name.
