January second, just like I promised.

well hello there, people. whoever you are.

I promised that I would blog today, so even though I really don't feel like it, I'm going to keep that promise. you're welcome.

the past 13 days have been uh-may-zing.

there's a problem though. I can't remember what we did on which day. so I'm just going to mash it into an unorganized mess of stories and pictures and music. yay!!

let's get started. ahem.

December 20, 2011? best day of my life. here's why:

I woke up way too early to drive to the airport. 

it was the most exciting drive of my life.

we had to wait in the airport for 30 minutes. it was rough.

but then this happened: 

:) :)

I screamed when I saw him coming down the escalator :)

and this picture sucks, but it's pure joy.

the remainder of this day consisted of hugging, cuddling, kissing, taking pictures, laughing, and being happy :)

 also, Gabe did my hair... heh :)

cutest :)

we had so many adventures :) 

we had a list of things that we needed to do before Gabe left again. and we did them all :) except for drink hot chocolate. because it's basically still summer here. and go to Comedy Sportz. because..... we just didn't. oh well.

lessee, lessee...

oh, christmas. oh yeah.

christmas was great. it was a fun family time.

on christmas day, we went to church. 

and then we all changed back into our pajamas :)

and we opened presents :)

it wasn't that exciting, on account of:

half of my presents were from myself, and I wrapped them.

heh.

my presents consisted of kitchen supplies and gift cards.

and food.

and a paint-by-numbers. 

which I love.

on christmas night, we went to my grandma's house and ate dinner.

and partied. and opened more presents.

then I went to Gabe's house and we exchanged gifts :)

he is the best :)

he got me this pocket watch :)

and some gift cards to my favorite places :)

I love that guy :)

so, christmas was enjoyable :)

hmmm.. some other things that happened:

we shot things with my rubber band gun :)

.

we went to temple square :)

.

we visited Alyssass.

she wanted to meet Gabe.

plus, we had to exchange gifts.

unfortunately, I do not have a picture of this event.

but it was great.

.

we went to Ernie's and got champs. 

delicious.

just like old times :)

.

we went to the aquarium :)

it was awesome, except for that place is for babies.

we were the only people there that didn't have a bunch of 4 year old children running around.

haha. 

I touched a sting ray.

it was terrifying.

and I'm pretty sure the nice fish lady heard me asking if 

they were bad, because she came on the loudspeaker and announced

that the stingrays were "perfectly harmless".

ha.

it was slimy.

.

also, Melanie got her hair stuck in the door, like a noob.

.

we went bowling with a bunch of friends :)

and I owned everybody.

not really.

.

we went to kneaders and had the most delicious french toast ever.

yummmmm :)

.

we went on a roadtrip to Ogden to watch a football game :)

and to eat delicious pizza :)

.

we had our pictures taken by the wonderful Mckenna :)

they are ADORABLE.

I can't wait to see the rest.

Gabe grew our his hair really long :)

hahaha :)

we did lotsa stuff :)

we watched a lot of movies :)

we ate a lot of food :)

we cuddled :)

it was great :)

then, yesterday, he left :(

I took him to the airport.

it was :'( 

and now I'm sad.

but it's okay :)

now I'm excited to go back to school...

kinda...

I also have anxiety about going back to school.

hahaha..

oh, also. I'm sick now.

with a cold.

and so I can't really breathe that good.

and it sucks.

watching Monk
