- went to Greenville on Christmas Eve - did some last minute shopping, went to church, ate shrimp and grits (so good) and then opened presents
- got everything I wanted and more - a new cell phone, a North Face jacket, a book, a movie, the cutest Vera Bradley apron and lots of other goodies
- ate breakfast at my mom's boyfriend's daughter's house (haha what a mouthful) which was gorgeous, went to visit with Katherine and then my Aunt Ann, took Kaitlin to see Marley and Me which was adorable (all my crying embarrassed her though)
- came back to Columbia the day after Christmas and spent the day with Daddy and resting
- discovered that my library in Cayce has Roseanne and am now obsessed with watching episode after episode after episode
- hit up lots of sales at the mall - especially Bath and Body Works and Yankee Candle - I am now stocked for 2009.
- Kaitlin came to see me Sunday night and stayed until Wednesday - it was great getting to spend some one on one time with her
- worked until 7:30 on New's Year Eve, then went to bed early
And now, I'm just trying to get mentally prepared for starting school again. It is crazy to think that I have been going to school nonstop since I was 3. I'm worn out!! This has been my first break since last Christmas. I took a full load during the Spring, took three classes this past summer, and then went all fall. Part of me is looking forward to classes, but I know I need to take all the time off I can and not rush anything. Hopefully I won't get burnt out as quickly as I did last semester. I'm hoping 2009 will be a great year and I'm excited to see what God has in store for me. :)
