Novemeber

So I think I am gonna have to make this whole blogging a once a month thing...I cant seem to keep up! Maybe now that I am done with school for the semester (kinda) I can start to write again. November seriously FLEW by! I cant believe that we are already about to start the second week of December! Where did November go?! Well, we had a great time with family and friends for Thanksgiving, but it really didnt feel like Thanksgiving this year for me...and I am still trying to get in the Christmas spirit....I am usually really into Christmas, but this year it just feels different. I am not sure why, maybe its because I am not working at Outback and serving, and having people say Merry Christmas or just enjoying all of the people out for the holiday season..whatever it is, I better snap out of it quick! We finally set up our Christmas tree on Friday night and having it right in our living room has been nice...we have a 71/2 footer! We got it last year on a whim cause it was really cheap at Wal Mart...we were thinking about a real tree last year, but Matt saw this one and we could not pass it up! Ill have to post pictures of our Christmasy living room and kitchen. I think once Christmas gets closer, and it actually gets COLDER, I will be in a better spirit...its also really hard to get in the spirit when the people here are SO RUDE! I mean everywhere..driving, in the stores, even when you go to get a cup of coffee! Come on people lets practice our patience!
As far as Christmas this year, Matt and I are really good about splitting up the holidays between our two families...Last year we did Christmas with my family and went up to Flag about a week later to see his family and celebrate. This year we are going to Disneyland first! Then we are driving back on Christmas Eve and celebrating that night with my family, then heading up to Flag Christmas morning to celebrate the weekend with his...I am soooooooooooo excited to go up there for Christmas because more than likely there will be snow on the ground! I cant wait to make a snowman! We might even try to go snowboarding the day after Christmas if its open. Disneyland is going to be awesome at Christmastime too, Mickey wears his holiday sweater and downtown disney is all decorated and it snows at night. I CANT WAIT! If that does not get me in the Christmas spirit I dont know what will!
So I am sure most of you know that on Black Friday, I crashed my car into a transformer box.....yeah...embarressing I know...but honestly it happened so fast I dont even really know what happened. All I know is that I get my car back this week! There is a lot less damage than originally thought, but I still needed a new bumper and inner frames and stuff...the estimate was 3,300 dollars! Thank goodness we only have a 500 dollar deductable! I honestly can say that I miss my satellite radio!!!!!!!!!!!! haha i cant wait to get that back...in the mean time I am driving my moms car, and she is driving a rental that the insurance is paying for as well.
Well I guess this is it for now...my health is great...oh!! and speaking of my health, Matt was at the gym the other day, and he added me to his account! I get to start going back to LA Fitness!! Hopefully I can get back into shape and really hit it hard this time.....easier said that done! Other than that, my thyroid stuff has been good, I go back for bloodwork next week and then I go to my endocrineologist in January to make sure all is well. My anxiety has been super calm too, I am starting to realize that the things I flip out about and worry about really do not need to be that big of a deal...it helps that I am not as stressed with school and everything, but really I do not need to freak about little things like I have been!
I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!!!! I will write and post pictures of our Disneyland adventure and our time in Flag!
Love, Em
