Nothing is happening

So, I haven't written in a while, but that would be because I have done almost nothing! I spent three days at a hockey tournament for my brother. They ended up as consolation champs and they played awesome! Then I headed up to see Andrew. We FINALLY got to have Christmas! His parents bought me some really great gifts.

Andrew got me tickets to "The Beauty and the Beast" at the Ordway theater. It was amazing! I have loved that movie ever since I was little, so seeing it on stage was amazing! I'm always so glad that I have an awesome boyfriend who knows exactly what to get me for Christmas!

Now I'm back at home with one more week to bum around and hang out. Right now, it is -15 degrees outside and actually, growing up in Minnesota, it isn't that bad because there is no wind right now! But it doesn't mean I'm going to make a trip outside anytime soon!

How was Christmas?

Well, here is how Christmas was: fun, but stormy. I got lots of nice things for Christmas, mostly things I can use in my house. But Andrew wasn't able to make it to Christmas because of the huge snowstorm we had move through here! We are having Christmas together in a couple of days when I head up there.

I love Christmas. It is my FAVORITE holiday. I love the snow, the tree, the TV specials, the family togetherness, and giving gifts to others. I love everything about Christmas! This year, however, it just wasn't the same with the huge snowstorm and no Andrew. But I'm still glad I got to spend time with my family!

Pictures!

I've never put pictures on here, so I'm going to try a few from the Holidazzle parade and my brother's band concert.

This is in the Macy's 8th floor Christmas display. It is so cute! The theme was "A Day in the Life of an Elf"


My favorite float, the Wizard of Oz float!


The Best Buy pirate float, this one was for Andrew!


Last one, this is my brother at his band concert last night! I can't believe he is a senior in high school already!

Christmas is in the Air!

Today, I spent the day with Andrew's mom and sister. We went downtown and saw the Macy's Christmas display. It was so cute! We had dinner at the Melting Pot. I've never had fondue like that. It was so yummy! I want to go again with Andrew.

After that, we watched the Holidazzle parade from one of the Skyways. It was such a cute parade! I wonder how you get into it. I'd like to go again with my family. I'll try to post pictures tomorrow from it.

Tomorrow will be spent with movies and Andrew. Hopefully we can go see The Princess and the Frog. It looks like such a cute movie!

Driving and Band Practice

Today, I drove up to see the boy. Apparently, even though the roads were completely clear, people thought they had to drive super slowly and still I saw cars in the ditch.

At one point, there was a car going 45 in a 60. I, with my road rage, proceeded to get a bit angry. As I passed the car, however, I noticed that a small, old nun was driving. So, cute little nun, I am sorry for getting angry at your driving....But you should speed up a bit.

Of course, it being a Thursday, we had to attend band practice. Andrew's band, Control Theory, is an awesome band! (I know, I'm biased!) But if I happen to be up here on Thursdays, I spend an hour or two at band practice reading a book and slowly becoming deaf. Don't get me wrong, I love it! Their next gig is in January and since I'm 21, it has been great going to their gigs!

Andrew and I also spent the day watching Christmas specials at my insistence. Christmas specials are my favorites! I wanted him to bring me home before the Flintstones Christmas special tonight. We got home just in time to make popcorn and watch it!

In sad news, my brother's hockey team lost tonight. :( They better win when I watch!!
