Well, I finally got home for Christmas on the 24th. The tree was PACKED with presents! Not a good thing because I had about the same amount for everyone else haha... But I stuffed them all under there and they eventually fit :)
On Christmas eve night we have a tradition with my friend and her family, every year we go to one of our houses (it switches each year) and have a nice supper and play games all night. This year I finally got to see her again because for the past 3 or 4 years she's been at her boyfriend's family's house. Well, he broke up with her a few months ago and they had to sell their house and she moved back with her parents and is still really heartbroken. She talked about him a lot but I tried to convince her life without a guy isn't so bad! She also brought up that she wants to take a girls trip to a spa in Banff (in the mountains) to help her get over him. I was like I'M IN!
On Christmas day, I loved watching my family open all their presents from me :) And from my parents, I got a new blanket, cushions, shams, etc for my bed, a spa gift certificate, a hair salon gift certificate, a clothing store gift certificate, a watch, and a cheque :) My brother got me satellite radio for my car! But Layla really cleaned up lol... she got 2 shirts from New York, a sweater and matching hat and scarf (she really hates that hat!), and a Calgary Flames jersey... I'm a Flames fan and my roommate is a hardcore Edmonton Oilers fan... I can't wait to see her face when my dog is cruising around the house in a Flames jersey hahaha
We drove back to the city for the weekend to see my grandma who is leaving I think today for 2 weeks in Cancun... LUCKY! And then I went back home again for a few days.
On New Years eve I drove back to the city in a BLIZZARD :( It was really bad, the highways were very icy and there was no visibility after I got halfway here. But I took my time and got into the city about an hour later than I should have. The guy I'm seeing had come back the day before, so I called him and I was just all frazzled from the ride so he told me to go have a bubble bath and leave my door unlocked. He came over and made me spaghetti for supper :D Then we got all decked out in our nicest clothes and headed to his friend's house for a fancy new years party! It was a really good time, his friends are great people.
Now I've got to get ready because I'm repaying him with a nice romantic supper of my own :) I have a few more things to pick up and some of the house to clean, oh and I still have to get dressed lol
I will add pictures soon!
