Christmas

Christmas has already come and gone! I can't believe how fast it came and went. I was fortunate to get Christmas Eve off, and was able to go home on Monday, and stay until Christmas. Joe also got Christmas Eve off, so we at least got to spend one day together. On Christmas Eve, we went to my grandma and grandpas house. We have done that ever since I was born. We always go over to their house after church, and open gifts, and stockings, and eat chilli. On Christmas day, we went to my aunt and uncles house! We just eat on Christmas day, we don't exchange gifts! I am thankful for that, we have enough gifts to buy! Its nice to just be able to sit and chat with family!

After Sunday, I won't be working for about a week! I am so pumped. On New Year's Eve we are going down to Fairmont, and staying at my house. On New Years Day its my grandpa's birthday. My family is hosting his birthday party this year! After his party is over, Joe and I will be heading down to his sisters wedding! It has been a busy week, and the next one looks like its going to be just as busy!

December

Well the first part of December is going by really fast. Yesterday my grandmother came up and took me birthday shopping and out for supper! She let Joe come with, which I was happy about because it was our "sunday" together, and didn't want to give one of my days off with Joe up. It would be different if we saw each other during the week, but we usually work pretty opposite shifts, like today I worked 10-5 and he worked 3-11. Tomorrow I work 9-5 and he works 3-11 again. Which is usually a typical week for us.

I got a few things from my grandma for my birthday, although this was the first year that I didn't spend the amount my grandma has to spend on us. I just wasn't in the mood for shopping. I got "The Grinch", a scarf, and some earrings, and body spray. I am really lookinig forward to Christmas, and New Years! I get a break from work, well at least at New Years. Joe's sister is getting married, out of state, so we get a little vacation! I am so pumped! I am sick of working, and I am sick of the crabby shoppers, who don't read COUPONS!

I am excited for Christmas to be over! But I am always sad when its over too. I love the decorations and lights! I hate taking decorations down, it makes me sad. I am excited for work to slow down. But again, I need the hours. I am just torn on whether I want Christmas to be over!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

This week is the first I am actually working 40 hours cashiering at Gordman's. I will let you know how it goes on Sunday when I am done with my last shift for the week. Last week was a little upsetting, Joe and I didn't see each other the whole week/weekend of Thanksgiving, because our work schedules were opposite! It was very hard to make it through that week!

I have started my Christmas shopping and think I am almost done. I will hopefully finish this Monday and Tuesday because I don't work. My grandma is coming up and taking me shopping on Tuesday for my birthday. She has done this every year since we were little. She always takes us out for lunch, and then buys us a gift. I am excited because I don't get to see her very often anymore. I don't get home as much as I used to, and when I do, I always leave right away. I had so much more time when I didn't work! Haha go figure. Although I got prettty bored, I miss it sometimes, I wish I could just be lazy one day! I am looking forward to Christmas, to see family, but I will probably end up working Christmas eve, and the day after Christmas, so I won't be home for long. I hate working at a department store!
