Christmas Time Is [almost] Here

I can not believe that Christmas is only a mere 5 days away!

I think part of the reason that I'm having "timing issues" this year is because for the last 4 years the week or two or three before Christmas was always spent cramming, studying, stressing and struggling through finals week. I texted a good science-major friend of mine just yesterday about "how it doesn't feel like Christmas without all this stress". I'm very thankful that I'm not in the same boat as years past but at the same time I'm left wondering where in the world the month of December went!

Like usual J, O-dog and I will be traveling back to CO for the holidays. Thankfully both mine and J's companies are shut down between Christmas and New Years so that gives us an amazing break without the guilt. Unfortunately though we do have to drive home. Yes, that means from SD to CO. And just in case you were wondering it's about 17 or 18 hours. Without any delays from traffic or snow or anything else!

Before then we have to...

+ Clean the house
+ Mow the lawn (we are homeowners now, aren't we?)
+ Clean out the fridge
+ Wrap one more Christmas present
+ Celebrate our friend V's birthday with drinks downtown ;-)
+ Pack our bags
+ Pack up the car
+ and stock up on energy drinks

We plan on leaving SD as soon as I get off work on Thursday afternoon (so hopefully by 3ish) and driving through the night. We've done it before this way and it makes it so much nicer to get back home early on Friday as opposed to midnight or 3AM! All we'll need is a quick nap and we'll be ready for carolling that night followed by lots and lots of festivities in the coming days.


Quite frankly, I can't wait to be back to this!

Hurry up week! Can't it be Friday morning already?!
