December 2 - December 6

December 2nd I was supposed to help Dad with putting in the dry hydrant, so I got up early and got ready and was down at the lake at ten minutes to eight. Yes, in the morning, hold your gasps. I stood out in the freezing cold for an hour and forty five minutes, until I could no longer feel the majority of my body, the divers still weren’t there, I was miserable, and I had packing to do. So I told dad to call me if the divers showed up and that I was going home to pack. Well I packed and got ready to go to Kalamazoo and he still hadn’t called, so I crawled into my bed to warm up and ended up falling asleep. When I woke up I found out that the divers had showed up and Dad didn’t call. Bah. Oh well.

I got up and packed my stuff in the car. I stopped at the station and told Dad bye and headed to Kalamazoo. I got there around 5 and dropped my stuff off at the apartment, looked up the directions to Barstools and More and headed there. Alternatives, the Pregnancy Care Center that I used to volunteer at, was having a fundraiser there, so I stopped in and bought a cookbook to support them and saw the ladies. Oh how I miss them and working there. I loved that place so much.

When I left there, I went to Toys R Us and got some gifts from my parents for the kids and a couple gifts for Justin. Then I went back to the 409 and hung out until Justin got home. Then we went to Qudoba and ate dinner. After dinner, we made it back home just in time to watch the Pixar shorts on tv. They had all of them playing back to back. It was great. Then we watched one of Katie’s film projects and hung out with Katie and Krissi for a while.
Day 255:
what the lake looks like at 8 am.
Day 255:
me.

The whole reason I went to Kalamazoo on the second was so I could go to Tax School. So on December 3rd, I got up early and got ready and headed to tax school. It was 8.5 hours of tax crap. I didn’t mind the material, just the 8.5 hours. And the fact that I felt like I was one of the few people in the room paying attention. After I got done at tax school, I went back to the apartment and got Justin. We went out to the mall and did some shopping. Then he had to leave to go back to school to work on his senior design project. So, I hung out with Katie for a while. We watched Survivor together then got ready to go out. Sarah, Katie and I went out with Krissi and some of her friends, er her friend’s friends.

We went to Bilbo’s for a while, Justin met us there when he got done with his project around 11. About an hour and a half later we went back to the apartment. Krissi wanted to talk for a while so I stayed up with her for a while before I finally went to bed.

Day 256:
Katie with my new jeans.
Day 256:
at the 409.

December 4th I had tax school again. Staying up until after 230 when you have 8.5 hours of tax school starting at 8 am is a horrible, horrible idea. Oh well, I survived. As soon as I got home I took a nap. I was completely exhausted. Then Justin and I watched Survivor since he had missed it the night before. We ate dinner and hung out at the apartment for a while before the party began. Powersphere was played and good times were had.

Day 257:
books and my certificate for passing.
Day 257:
tired.

December 5th I hung out with Justin for a while in the morning before he had to go to Parkview to work on his project. Katie needed a new battery in her car, so we went to the Auto Zone place and got it replaced. The only moral of that story that I have is do it yourself. It’s much cheaper.
After we got done getting the new battery we went out to eat at Olive Garden. Then we stopped by the mall for a quick minute and got a couple Christmas gifts before heading back to the 409. Katie had to work, so she left and I hung out with Krissi and Sarah for a while until Justin got home.

We had dinner then went out to a movie. We saw the Blind Side. I loved it! It was SO good and I would recommend it to anyone. When we got back we played Taboo with Dan and Sarah for a bit while we waited for Katie to get home from work, then we went downstairs to the girls’ apartment to wait for Katie some more. When she got home we went out to the Grotto, but it was PACKED and I was tired so we went to McDonald’s and got Egg Nog shakes instead. We hung out and drank our shakes then I headed to bed. I was exhausted.

Day 258:
movie ticket.
Day 258:
:)

December 6th we slept in. When I finally got up, I packed up my stuff to go home. I said goodbye to the girls and Justin and I headed to lunch. We had lunch at Noodles and Company, then he went to school and I headed home. I hung out with my parents for a while watching movies and knitting before heading to bed.

Day 259:
Sam and Kal.
Day 259:
back in my room.
♥ Sara
