What a week full of family, food, sleep, games, and presents! Christmas #1 in Ohio with my mom’s side of the family. 22 people, 3 labs, 1 house, endless chatter! Ice storm hit that night and thus we ended up having my grandparents stay overnight so they didn’t drive in the ice. We later found out the interstate was closed. That night was a house-wide slumber party: 12 people, 3 dogs, and guitar hero.
Christmas #2 on Christmas day with the family and the crooked tree! New ski gear from the parents and brothers…helmet, goggles, jacket…I’m ready to go!!! Wonderful dinner prepared by my father; what a cozy day!
Christmas #3 on New Years Eve with Mike. Prior to driving to Mike’s, my mom, dad, Chad and I went to the University of Michigan verses University of Wisconsin basketball at UofM. I called Henry who hooked me up big time with tickets…front row right behind the bench! Picture above is me and my mom in our seats. And yes, I have two red "W" on my cheeks! It was awesome.
After the game, I headed straight up to Mikes. We went out to dinner with the usual group, then split up. Everyone else headed to the New Years Eve party and Mike and I headed back to his place to do our Christmas. He made me a fireplace, hung stockings by the fire with care, and went jewelry shopping. Needless to say he had me at the fireplace, but pulling a little gold bag with a little box inside from behind the tree was completely unexpected!!! I placed the present in my ears and we headed out the party to ring in the New Year. Finally, I got to spend New Years with Mike!!! The first in 3 years!!! Me, Mike, Sadie in front of the fireplace!!!
Today I drove back up to Marquette in a HUGE lake-effect snow storm. My little red Ford Focus with its new tires did well…we (the car and I) arrived to my apartment in one piece.
