Followers, I am so terribly sorry for the lengthy hiatus I've taken from blogging! I have been all to busy with the last few dismal weeks of this fine fall semester: homework, finals, and work had taken over my life. Alas, I am finally free from classes, papers, and presentations, even if it is only for a short four weeks! I am now left with a rather significant question...what do I do with this time I've been given?! Surprise, surprise, I actually have a majority of this lovely winter break planned so as to make the absolute best of this next month! Here we go!
To start out this week, my amazing parents are coming out to visit for the holiday weekend. I cannot wait to spend some quality time with my family and simply enjoy each others company! The whole family will be together again for the first time since this last summer!
Christmas is in a short NINE days and I cannot even explain how much I love Christmas! The entire family together: parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, the festive music, games, memories, and cookies of the holiday season can really open your eyes to how much you have to be thankful for. Spending this Christmas with my entire family is all I could ask for this Christmas!
Another two short days after Christmas and it's my 20th birthday! I am well aware that 20 is not that big of a deal to most people, but it is to me! I will no longer be a "teenager". Yay! So much to look forward to as an optimistic 20 year old :)
A few days later, in the beginning of January, I'll be traveling back to the good ol' homeland. I can't wait to see all of my friends and family that continue to reside in the great state of Minnesota! I have a number of fun things planned for my short time home. But most importantly, I'll get to see the people I love most and spend great quality time with them!
As soon as I get back to Colorado, I have transfer orientation for CU Boulder! I am so beyond stoked to be starting at the college of my dreams! However, along with the joy of excitement for bigger and better things comes a large amount of nerve wracking stress. So much to do in so little time before I'm in a totally new place in my life!
I've got quite a winter break ahead of me! What are your plans for the holidays?!
