My new best friend
Mr. Keurig is my new best friend. Drew got us this wonderful coffee machine for Christmas! I've wanted one for a really long time...as most of you know, if left to sleep all day, I would! Now, I have a wonderful friend to wake me up in the morning! Hooray!
THANK YOU DREW!!

Holy presents Batman!
Christmas tree post huge package arrival from the Nielsens/Grindes.
Unfortunately, Drew won't let me shake or open any until Christmas day :) Thankfully, I've had my momma's cookies and caramels to distract me!
Wishing we could be spending Christmas with you all!!!!!

Wazzzzz uppppppp
I know that Drew has been doing a much better job than I have at staying in touch with everyone from home. Nevertheless, I am guessing you guys are wondering what we've been up to; since unlike you all, we are not confined to our apartment due to antartic-like temperatures :) So, here is a little summary...
Drew- has been working hard putting in long days at Sony. Unfortunately, he has a long drive back and forth so he spends most of his day away from home. Of course he has been doing his typical boy stuff- video games/sports fanatic. He is playing in his Sony Softball league and has also met some people to play volleyball with. He will be going home to Madison for a few days next week and then right when he comes back, he will head to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. Most importantly, he has been relaxing when he can which is probably less than he would like!
Jenny- I have been working at an Assisted Living facility as a CNA in a Dementia unit. I really like it (other than the long drive back and forth) and I have been given the opportunity to train as a Med Tech! I am very excited!!! It will be wonderful experience for nursing school. Training for that position starts January 1st and I will work on a Per-Diem basis. Other than work, I have been reading....A LOT, watching the Harry Potter movies on repeat (yes, I am still obsessed), and I started working out again (going on 2 days strong hehe) and I feel awesome. Right now, I am majorly stressing out about nursing school. I am trying not to put all my eggs in one basket so I have been looking into various programs, locations, ect. I have applied to 4 community colleges in the San Diego area and I won't hear back from them until March. I am planning on taking a couple classes this spring and then applying to a TON of schools throughout the US. We'll see what happens...and/or where I end up!
We are going to start looking for a new apartment eventually, as the lease is up in June. I think we will both be ready to find a new area to live in at that time. Pacific Beach is great but it will be fun to try to a new place. We are thinking either Downtown or further north to be closer to our jobs.
As for Christmas, we aren't really doing much of anything. I have been devouring the cookies and caramels that my mom sent. So far we have just been planning on going to mass the morning of Christmas Day. I work Xmas eve and day so it is difficult to make plans. Plus, it just isn't the same without family and friends. At least I know Rosanne will be taking my place as part of the family at home :)

The Countdown Begins...
I know it's still VERY far away but my plans are to come home APRIL 19-26 for Easter. I am submitting a request into work this week so that my boss can have more than plenty of time to approve it.
Sooooooooo, hopefully I will be seeing all my midwesties in a few months!!

STAGECOACH
This.looks.awesome. My 3 favorite country stars headlining??? Is this real?!?! I am pretty sure this is the We Fest of So Cal and couldn't be more thrilled about it.
Plus, Indio is near Palm Desert which is where we stayed with our friend Kristi at her aunt's house. We loved the area and it would be fun to go back and do more exploring.
I wish all my country fan-friends were out here to attend with me just like our good ol' We Fest days!!!
For now, I may have to see what Drew's schedule looks like on April 30 and May 1!!
It's Christmas Once Again in San Diego
They have been playing this song here on the country radio station....I thought it was an interesting twist on the traditional Xmas music we are all used to.
CHRISTMAS ONCE AGAIN
At least Drew and I have Christmas in our hearts :)
