A Lonely Christmas

Christmas is a time to spend with the people you love right? Well, I'll be with most of those people I guess, but not with John....my love. Sad really. He left for home just an hour ago, and now I should be greatful for the time I have to study for my aweful anatomy final, yet all I can do is think about missing John for the next 2 weeks. Even a day or two is hard enough. It's weird to think that we went a month with out seeing eachother over the summer, but that was rediculously hard, two weeks is my limit. After that, phone calls just aren't good enough. I start forgetting the way I feel, and why I love him, and I start losing it all together, that is when you move on. Luckely that difficult month past and the moment I saw him, all the love feelings floaded right back in. But that was early in the relationship. Its been over 8 months now. Two weeks is like 2 months. Feels so long.
I'm trying to think of what I did in my spare time that I would now spend with John.
  1. I spent a lot of time at the gym. (besides work, class, and the library)
  2. I spent extra time socializing with a million different friends, going country and salsa dancing, trying to meet as many people as possible.
  3. Going out to lunch, dinner, and movies with friends
  4. taking road trips with my girl friends
  5. Just living the single life I guess.

Some people can't break away from that cycle. Or some people miss it and end up breaking relationships to go back to the single life.

Me? I'm moving on. I didn't think I'd ever get sick of dating around and exploring all the options or going to parties; but when John and I recently went to a friends "christmas party".. it was nice, but just another college singles party where everybody dresses up in their most fashionabley/hot clothing, eating treats and non-alcoholic drinks (thats BYU). They all just look at everyone else. The girls or guys may scope out thier competition and leave if they don't find enough of the opposite sex. They'll critique eachothers clothing and hair and, try to come up with interesting and witty things to say to one another. They'll talk about what they are studying, or ask where they are from and chat about finals, or how much money they'll make some day, or how much money they made over the summer selling security systems. Some may be truely intested in others and try to get their friends to introduce eachother, maybe get a number or two, plan to do something that they found they both enjoyed, go out, but found that the roommate was way cooler.

Its all fun for a while, but its actually quite exhausting, and in my case its a relief when you find someone you are very compatable with, and someone you would rather spend your free time with.

It'll be a lonely Christmas indeed.

Boyfriends Thanksgiving

The pictures are all backwards, starting from my last day in Cali, to the first day... sorry about that, I don't really want to switch them around.. ha ha
Romantic Moments on the beach... this is what happens when I want take a picture.






We found the hot tub at John's moms condo with some bubbles in it, and when we turned on the jets IT WENT CRAZY! So we got all excited and made the best of the situation, hoping that we wouldn't get blamed for it.






On the way home from Knotts Berry Farm (I was still sick from Thanksgiving day) I fell asleep, so John found my heart sticky notes in my purse and covered me with them as I was snoozing in the car. It was actually a funny and pleasent surprise when I woke up. Not only were they all over me, but he surrounded the area of the car around me... funny boy!




In line at Knotts Berry Farm, I actually wasn't feeling well since I was throwing up on Thanksgiving day, but John has many brilliant ways of making me feel better.


John with his best friend Corb, funniest guys I know! It was an
entertaining vacation watching these crazy boys interact.

John, Corb, and another buddy Spencer played in their
High schools Alumni basketball game, they were the oldest guys out there,
and even though they lost.... they still proved a point.. (not sure what that point is though ha ha)


Knotts Berry Farm

This is me forcing John to take a picture in front of the Huge Christmas Tree :)

John's sister Julia came home for the holiday's as well,
and did an excellent job with the holiday turkey.

This is Holtsman, John's nephew.
He was attatched to John most of the time. What a cutie pie!

L.A Auto Show, it was actually pretty fun dreaming about owning all these beautiful cars.







John's mother Sally aka Sal, great lady.

Holt is learning spanish at a young age which is adorable, John is reading him a spanish book.

The Indian and the Mime




We started out at a huge stake activity on campus, I was starving and all they had to eat were doughnuts and candy... but you could only eat the doughnut if you entered the dang contest... so ... I did, I almost won, but the last piece of my doughnut fell on the ground. Later I found people handing out free doughnuts!! By that time I was over it.






This was the first time John and I really danced together besides disco skating.
My future man has got to dance.... John passed the test with flying colors, we had a blast!

My Granddad

I'm certain to have the cutest Granddad in the world. And since I've been living with my Grandparents for the last year, I get an inside view on all the cute elderly things they do. The latest funny event that my Granddad has created happened just the other day. I came home Sunday night from having dinner at my boyfriend’s house, and my grandparents had already gone to bed. I decided to stroll through the kitchen to find something sweet to eat before I went down stairs to my room. My sister Kassi was there having a snack as well and glaring at a very peculiar piece of art sitting on the kitchen counter....


So I began to examine what it was she was looking at. Kassi begins to tell me that it was Granddad's project of the night; he worked on it for about 3 hours. It was a handle from his dresser that had broken off, and being the Fix-It man that he is, He was going to FIX IT!

So he had his glue, strings, plier things, among other tools scattered around the table... and it was set out to dry over night. The next evening (last night) I found Granddad working on it again. Tools scattered, bright working light over head, magnifying glasses on.... this man is SERIOUS! I thought it was cute, but I didn't think much of it. I left to my ward F.H.E. service project at 6:20pm and came back 2 1/2 hours later around 9pm ...only to find Granddad right where I left him. I laughed a little but just went down stairs and waited for John to come over. Around 11pm I went up stairs to get some orange juice, and I found Granddad there in the same exact spot; tools, glue, dresser handle in hand, YET COMPLETELY A SLEEP, AND SNORING! I ran down stairs to get my camera and to tell John what I had just seen.... So I ran back up stairs so that I could snap a picture of my Granddad sleeping while working on this dresser handle... but of course he woke up to the sound of my camera turning on. Dang it! And how would that make me look if he caught me taking a picture of him sleeping sitting up with tools in his hands? So I just hid my camera.. and asked him how his project was coming along... he mumbled something as he realized that he was sleeping on a stool and made his way to his room. Just another day in the life of my Granddad. So cute!

I VOTED TODAY..do I get a cookie or something?



I voted today! And I feel good about it. Standing in line with a bunch of old people I thought to myself, where are all the people my age voting? And then I remembered ...Oh yeah, I live with my grandparents, not in a apartment around all the other college students. Ha ha


So I voted for McCain, but I am not depressed by any means that Obama won instead. Infact I'm feeling more and more better about the whole thing. I think he will do a great job. Go Obama!
