What Christmas means to me...

FAMILY, MY SAVIOR AND MAKING MEMORIES!

Since I have been done with school (Wednesday, December 15th) I have been kind of busy. It is nice to finally relax and catch this blog of mine back up to speed.

Thursday Dec. 16th - I cleaned up my entire apartment to get everything ready for the next semester. I bleached down every wall and prepared the house for a new roommate. I have no idea of her name or her interested but I just know she is moving in Jan 1st.

Friday Dec. 17th - I spend the day packing for a trip to Boise as well as a trip back home to Arizona. When I was done packing, I went and picked up Alicia Steinfeldt from her house and headed to Brad Gravatt's apartment so we could head West for Boise. Brock, Brad, Karson, Alicia and I headed to Twin Falls for the evening with one of the guys' friends. We went bowling that evening and had a blast make memories. Alicia and her bowling skills, Brock and his dance moves, Karson and the ability to take himself out with the bowling ball, Brad was pretty normal, and their friend and his ability to fart like no other. The night ended with a trip to the only thing open in Twin Falls at midnight, BK Lounge.

Saturday Dec. 18th - We then headed out to Boise! Grab the tickets from my Uncle's house and head towards the blue turf for the Humanitarian Bowl game. When we got to the game we hooked up with Lyndel Anderson and went to grab food at Wendy's. The six of us went to the game and I believe had a great time cheering for everyone and anyone.
From there we went to dinner at Mongo Grill. That was definitely an interesting place because I definitely was weirded out by the way we had to put everything together. Raw meat with veggies and then these Mongollian guys took it and added sauce to it and cooked it. Like I said it was kind of weird. From there we went to Lyndel's friend's house and watched Despicable Me. Basically everyone fell asleep, we were definitely exhausted from this whole trip. We headed back to my Uncle's house, unfortunately they had a cat, and I forgot about, so the sleeping arrangements were kinda easy. The boys shared the bedroom, Alicia and I shared the blow up matress and Brock slept in his car. Alicia and I stayed up extremely late and talked about a lot of things that were going on in each others lives.

Sunday Dec. 19th - Drove home from Pocatello. Hung out with Alicia all day. We first went back to my place so I could pack for a bit until church was out at 2pm. At 2pm we went to church so I could go through my tithing settlement with Bishop Sutton. After that, I went with Alicia to her house for dinner and some games with her family. Like I said I spend the whole entire day with her. When we were done hanging with her family, we began getting ready for the evening. We both go dressed and ready and afterwards went over to Taylor Jenson's house to play some games with friends. It was most definitely interesting because we really did not know anyone there that well. Once we had enough of that, I took her back to her house and headed home for some good rest before the journey home to Arizona.


Monday Dec. 20th - I spent the morning finishing up packing and getting ready for a fun night with the ward and our christmas party. Alicia and I finished the afternoon off by doing some shopping at our amazing mall. When we were done there, we went back to my house and got ready for the evening. That evening was a Ward Christmas Party, with food, a slideshow and a white elephant gift exchange. It was a fun ish evening that ended not too bad for either Alicia or I. I ended up with a wall hang candy dispenser and toy story gummies and she ended up with swedish fish. She dropped me off at my house and left. I finished packing, finshed with the car and waited to see if someone actually cared. After waiting for two hours, I went on my way to start the journey home. And oh was it a long one!
Full of snow and bad roads. I got as far as Nephi, before I decided that it was not worth it to go any longer. I stayed in Nephi for a couple of hours and started back on my way.

Tuesday Dec. 21st - This entire day was spent driving South towards Mesa. At about 6pm, I finally pulled in town. I got to see my mother come out to the car to greet me and say hello! I then, went inside to see the entire family sitting at the dining room table (My Nana, Grumps, Dad, Brother, Uncle and his friend). We loaded up the car and went to Hero's Bar, where I put down my first drink since this past summer. I had a Mai Tai and definitely needed it, it put on some definite relaxation that I needed. But it did not feel right
