back

I came back to Auburn last night after spending 2 weeks at home. Being back here is bittersweet for me. I already miss my family so much. I do not like having to work the couple of weeks I am out of school. Oh well. It is life.

Christmas break (at home) was awesome. I got to see everyone I wanted to see (maybe not as much as I wanted to see them) and noone that I didn't. There are a few people I would rather not bump in to around Trussville. Wednesday my grandparents came to our house and we had tacos and opened presents. Very traditional. Christmas eve I went to Josh's house and did Christmas with his family. His mom got me this super cute bracelet that I am obsessed with. Then we went to his sister's house to see baby Caleb and give them their gifts. Josh's family is wonderful. That night we went to my grandmother's house for some Christmas eve games. A room full of 30 people playing Christmas games is a little crazy but so much fun. I got to use my new mixer to make desserts for the party :) Christmas day we woke up and opened presents. Then we went to Waffle House (welcome to Alabama). On the drive there it was snowing a little but immediately melting. On the way back, however, it was STICKING! We got probably 2 inches of snow! We made a snowman that was over 5 feet tall! It was crazy...snow on Christmas in Alabama. We spent the rest of the day watching Christmas movies and playing with our presents. Yesterday we went back to Granny's and gave gifts. I was supposed to work last night at 6 so I was going to have to leave early. I got  a text about an hour before I needed to leave town saying someone could work for me! GOD IS TOO GOOD! He knew I was stressed about leaving my family early. He knew I was dreading leaving in the middle of family Christmas. I still came back last night but I got to leave at 9 instead of 2! Merry Christmas!

Now I am back. Me and Josh both have to work this week so at least someone is in town with me. On a good note...my crazy roommate has officially MOVED OUT! Hooray! No more crazy...hopefully.
