Holiday Fun

Finally I am back at work and am not the only one here! Ha ha, I came in between Christmas and New Year's because I have only worked here 4 months and didn't have a ton of vacation days saved up. I was the only one here! I turned on the lights when I came and just sat at my desk all day every day alone. I miss the students! I don't miss them because there is no traffic while they're gone, but I miss the hustle and bustle of craziness at work.

Christmas was so much fun. Juan spoiled me like crazy. He got me (I'm pretty sure he got it for himself but got to count it as one of his gifts for me) a 37" flat screen tv! It looks so nice and now we just need a nice condo or house to match! He also got me a keyboard because I've been wanting to get back into piano, the Gilmore Girls full series, a gift card to the Chef's Table, and many other little things. He was required to get me 8 gifts to unwrap, even if he had to go to the dollar store. My family was always about the quantity of presents, we just liked to see all those gifts under the tree! We spent Christmas Eve with Juan's family and Rose got us a beautiful painting of the Salt Lake temple. Christmas morning was at my parents and my dad went crazy getting my mom a million gifts. They must be doing pretty good without any kids to support. We went up to East Canyon with my family as we always do after Christmas. We went sledding and played a lot of games. For New Year's we had Craig and Lorel, and Aaron and Rachelle over. They both have brand new babies so they were lame and left right away after midnight. Ha ha! It was a ton of fun and I'm grateful for our family and friends and I'm also grateful for Juan and the little time we get alone! He has lived with his grumpy, sick wife all through the holidays and has spoiled me. He's a trooper.
