The Update!

SO! It has been at least 2 weeks or so since I've blogged, and I am so excited to finally update everyone on everything from Kyle's wonderful return to Christmas. And it has been a freaking blast!

A note: It's funny to go from blogging constantly to not blogging at all for a period of time. I've really missed it, and in many ways keeps me on track with goals that I've already set for myself, goals that I am aspiring to accomplish and keep my family and loved ones involved in my life that I don't get to see as often as I'd like (for one reason or another). AND, recently I've had somewhat of realization that some part of me wishes that I already owned my own house so that I could openly invite friends and loved ones to my home for fun festivities and events. As the holidays have been passing and after spending time with lots of family, owning my own household has become something that I want more and more within the next few years, hopefully...haha..somehow! Hosting seems like a natural instinct to me and I feel it shall be a way that I will be able to share with other people my love for them and repay all the kindness that I have recieved through the years. (obviously the holiday experience has had this affect on me haha)

Anyways, where to start? Well, as many of you know, I had been eagerly anticipating the return of my boyfriend Kyle from his 3 month-ish trip to Europe. I was out having dinner and drinks with a friend in downtown SLO after my first round of finals (much deserved may I add haha), when I get a text message from Kyle around 9pm. I didn't see the text right away because I had turned my phone to silent during dinner because it kept going off and I didn't want to be rude. Well, I didn't actually see his text until about 10pm. The text said something like  "What would you say if I told you I wasn't in Europe right now...". I also had 4 or 5 missed calls from him, and I'm thinking "What is that supposed to mean?" Suddenly, I realized that Kyle had text me from his american number (since he's been in Europe, I would get messages or calls from him from an international phone number, so him contacting me through his american number only meant one thing :D). "NICOLE!!! I NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW!!", we paid for our drinks and headed for the cars, before long I was sprinting to my car, and speeded at least 5 miles above the speed limit the entire way home. I pull up my driveway and burst through my doorway and there he was! :D It was a wonderful surprise because he was supposed to arrive two days later,....all I can say is that I have the best boyfriend ever!

So since then it's been great having him home. Right now I am in Spokane, Washington and we have been spending time with his family. I feel like this blog is getting too long, so, I'll update you on Xmas celebrations later. Man, it has been fun though! Also, we're still trying to figure out what we're gonna be doing for new years, so if you have any ideas send me a message!

Merry Christmas!
