School's OUT

Break time! Well..sorta...we're both still working, but there's nothing to do after work, so it's way better. I'm actually at work right now, so you can tell I'm working really hard...oh waiiiiit! Haha. Well lots of fun stuff has gone on the past little while, and lots of not fun stuff too (finals). I'll put up some pictures once I'm on my computer at home. We went to California for Thanksgiving, which was fun! It was nice to have decent weather, and feel like we actually had a break. Of course, once we got home, we realized the homework we had to do, but it was a good few days off! Haha. And of course, the company was great. I love being home and spending time with everyone. ANNND we didn't have to decorate for a wedding the whole time like our last visit, thanks Tessa. Haha, just kidding. That wasn't too bad. Once we were back in good ol' Provo, things got crazy. Well, things are crazy in California too, but it was a different kind of crazy. End of the semester projects, tests, papers were due and it was time to start studying for finals. Well, at least for Ben. I guess I didn't start studying until a few days before. I'm so dedicated. Anyways. Let's just skip the few weeks leading up to finals. They weren't anything special, and I would like to forget about them anyway. Oh wait, except I got a new job. Starting next Thursday, I'll be working at Macy's. My official title is AST Assistant - whatever that means. I like to say I'm a part of the Management team, because it sounds cooler. The rumor is, this job is pretty important, so let's just say I'm pretty important. Haha. Anyways, this last Friday, Ben's brother, Joe, came into town, so we've been with his family all weekend. It's been really nice to get away from Provo, especially after finals! Haha. Saturday we went up to Ben's grandparents' house in Logan for the big family party, which included like 60 people. It was fun, we did white elephant gift exchange and it's enjoyable to see people get annoyed. Haha. Back at Ben's parents, we basically played Mario Kart all weekend on the Wii. It's really bonding, except for Ben and me. We get too competitive and angry. Still fun though. We had a pre-Christmas dinner on Sunday since Joe won't be here for Christmas. I think I'm going to get fat. Family party Saturday, Christmas food Sunday, Christmas Eve this Friday and Christmas on Saturday - my stomach will probably hate me. But my taste buds will be happy. Well, I think that's about all that's going on with us. Like I said, I'll put up some pictures so you can see our cute faces. And I'll take lots more this break with the stupid snow. =/ I hate the cold. Oh well, story of my life the next 2 years. Haha! So great. Peace out!
