Such an Amazing Weekend

This past weekend I went to Sacramento. Todd wasn't originally going to accompany me but he finally decided to after I told him how much it would mean to me. While I was out catching up with old friends he was put to work. My grandma didn't have anyone to put up her outside Christmas lights so Todd did it. While he was doing that I went to have lunch with Cassie, Cassie's mom Stephanie, and Lauri. After lunch we decided to go surprise our old boss and Stephanie's friend Cheryl while she was working. She was so surprised that she started crying. This of course made me start crying. So she took her lunch break and we got to catch up for a bit. Later we decided that since I still had more time before meeting Courtney for lunch that we would walk around Ross because Stephanie still needed to find something for her husband. While we were there Cassie, Lauri, and I saw a little pair of jeans and Cassie says "you should buy these and keep them for Cole Newby.''
A little back story: while I worked at Carmichael Park I dated on of the other counselors there Buddy. As a joke because I was "in love with him" I named all the children we could have together...there was Cole, Susie, and Gwen Newbie. Anyways Buddy and I dated for a bit then stopped then started again but nothing really came out of our relationship
So back to Ross as we all were walking around the store I start talking about Buddy. I say that he was obsessed with me and then I was obsessed with him and Lauri said we were obsessed with each other. I thought the conversation was coming to a close so I just mention how he was a good kisser from what I remember of the 2 or 3 times that we actually did kiss. Well after I make this statement I look up and he is standing like 3 feet away from me. This freaked me out so bad that I ran to a different part of store with my ladies following were we all proceed to laugh to death. At first I thought that I made the whole thing up in my head...but Lauri confirm it. We wandered the store for a little bit longer and of course Stephanie was in the men's section which is right were Buddy was. We couldn't decide if I should go and talk to him or not. Well it was decided for me when after we looked at some shirts and I turn around and he is right there. He gave me a really weird look; you know the kind a dog gives if he is confused and I waved then gave him a hug. We caught up for minute then he left then we left. It was just so hilarious that we were talking about him then poof there he was.

After I said my goodbyes I went to coffee with Jill, Adam, Coutney, and baby Miranda. I was so happy to be able to see my friends. I found out that everyone was going out that night and even though we had just planned on staying the day I wanted to go to.
When coffee was over I went to go get Todd when I was informed that I had the chance to meet Christie's son Triston. I haven't met him yet so of course I jumped at the opportunity. Todd and I hung out there for a bit before returning to my grandma's for dinner. That night we all went out because Jill bribed Todd with 3 drinks. It was so much fun to see everyone!!


Yesterday we had Christmas in Corning with Todd's Dad's side of the family. I got to play with more babies. Everyone really liked the gifts we got them which made me really happy because I tried to think about what everyone would use and enjoy. I got a fishing pole, a blender, and Love Actually. I am so happy to finally have a good quality fishing pole and I have been wanting a blender for so long and I was seriously just thinking to myself how I wanted to rent Love Actually because it is my favorite holiday movie. Todd got a lot of nice things as well. As a girft for both of us Todd's step sister, her husband, Todd's brother, and his girlfriend got us tickets to see STOMP in Sacramento. I am super excited Todd and I have never been to a show or anything together so I am sure it will be so much fun. But it was nice to spend time with his family and see him play with this neice and nephew.

So..

I should be getting ready for work but I don't really want to right now...I am so excited to have most of the Christmas shopping done. Todd's whole family has their presents wrapped and under the tree. I think we did a pretty good job of getting everyone something that they could use. Hopefully they will like. Now all that is left is my mom, Todd, and my uncle. I have a couple ideas of what to get Todd but I am sure more will come to me while I am wandering stores. Also I cannot wait until tomorrow. I get to see everyone and I am super excited. It has been far too long since I have hungout with Cassie, Lauri, Courtney, or Heather. It will be good to catch up a bit before heading back to Chico to get ready for one of Todd's family Christmases. Ok well that is enough procrastination for one day!!

Ah Life

So I don't know why (well I do know why) but I have been feeling a little down lately. I feel like as I grow older nothing is turning out as expected. I am not a lawyer and I will not be a lawyer anytime soon. That makes me sad. Also my grandma has decided not to cook Christmas dinner. I feel like now there isn't really a point in going there at all if we are just going to forget our family traditions and eat out on a major holiday. It is something I have never done in my whole life and I am not looking forward to it. I know that she is getting old and doesn't have the help around the house that she needs to cook us a meal but it disappoints me that I can't be there to help keep the tradition because I will be celebrating the holiday with Todd's family. Don't get me wrong I love Todd's family I just wish I could be two places at once. PMS and Christmas shouldn't coincide it is a bad combo. Stop reading the ramblings of a crazy person and go about your day. Everything will be fine. I am happy that I get to see my grandma on Christmas. I haven't seen her since October. I am also excited about this weekend. I get to see Cassie and Lauri. I love catching up with old friends it always makes my heart happy. I just wish I was a tad bit better with keeping in contact with them. Oh and when I wake up there will be snow in Chico...watch

FINALLY

The Christmas Cards are officially done! Expect one in the mail soon!!

Our Christmas Tree

So I finally have pics of our tree all decorated...
Here it is without lights
Here it is with lights but you can't really tell because it is light outside


Also Nugget was playing in her new box and looked so cute I had to take advantage of it. She looks annoyed because I am bothering her. But I couldn't help it!!

Other than that nothing has been going on. I have been sick and Todd is getting ready for finals so we are laying low. I am getting super excited about the holiday though. I don't know what to get Todd though so that is my only stress.
