It's Been a While, eh?

Well, since last time I typed, it was before Christmas. Well, let me catch you up on a few things. I'll try and make it as short as possible.

After finals week, I went home and spent some time with my parents. I was there about a week before Cory and Kendi arrived. My parents and I watched some old Christmas movies with Bing Crosby and Jimmy Stewart. I loved them! It was a lot of fun. My parents and I had our Christmas together. My big present was my b-e-a-utiful guitar!! I LOVE IT! It's got great sound and once the director at church puts the 'Worship Leader 101' class together, I'll get to use it at church. Once Cory, Kendi, and the pups showed up, we played Wii games and cards the entire time. Tim got to spend a few days with the family. It was nice. I'm glad he finally got to meet Cory and Kendi. And of course he fell in love with Zoey and Savannah! Yay! We all had our Christmas once everyone showed up. Tim got me a beautiful cross necklace! I'd been wanting a new one and he did a wonderful job. :) New Year's was fun too. Tim had to work, but Cory, Kendi, and myself went to the Perkins' house. David had proposed that night and it was a celebration party. After he had taken us the place he popped the question, Tim came walking down the street. :) He drove all the way down...again...just to surprise me and give me my first kiss at midnight. :) It was very exciting!

After I got home, Tim's birthday was right around the corner. We celebrated on the 6th instead of the 8th because he had that day off. So, that afternoon we actually drove to Denver to meet Cassie to give her the XBOX he sold her for Chris's birthday. But we got stuck in traffic and were running late for our dinner plans. He thought we were going out, so I pretended to change reservation times. But really, I was planning on making him dinner. I was texting Jenni (an old roommate and great friend) to see if she could come over and help me cook. So, Tim dropped me off because I told him I had 'errands' to run real quick, and Jenni started cooking the steaks while I got ready. She also brought fondue as a last minute emergency for me. :) Anyway, the steak, potatoes, and green bean dinner was delicious. He showed up expecting me to get in the car right away, but he walks in there's music on and candles lit and food on the table. He was definitely surprised. :) Thanks to Jenni, I pulled it off. On his actual birthday, his family and I went to dinner and he got a Wii. Well, everyone has been sold out for months, but we luckily got one last night. So he used the money he saved from selling the XBOX to buy himself a nice camera.

Other than that, I'm ready for school to start. I started my new job and it's going well so far. Classes start Tuesday and I'm pretty excited to be busy again. :) OH! How could I forget to talk about the 'Twilight' books!!?? I'm on book 3 and am absolutely loving them! Tim and I saw the movie last night...the book is definitely better...but the movie wasn't half bad. Tim's planning on reading them as well and my mom has my copy of the first book. Thanks to Kendi, I am now hooked. :)
