Last day of November, that seems crazy.  I can't believe that we only have two more weeks of actual classes and then we have finals.  There is still so much that needs to be done before that time comes, and it is getting a little bit overwhelming, but I will make it out!

Anyway, last week was Thanksgiving Break, and for only being off two of those nine days I actually got to spend time with family and my boyfriend which was nice.  Sunday, I went to my Mom's family Thanksgiving which we never have on actual Thanksgiving.  I had to leave around one to head back because I had to work, but we did family pictures and had some great food and just got to spend time with family which is always nice.  Then work Sunday night and Monday.

Then I was off Tuesday, so I drove to see Chad.  I can't even express how excited I am about him being back from Utah and not living seventeen hours away from me! I have missed him an insane amount because seeing my best friend every six months is just not enough, and then with us starting to date I was just so ready for him to be back.  Anyway, he just had gotten into his apartment the day before so we really didn't do a whole lot.  He unpacked some, I re-read all of the letters that I sent him about a year ago and laughed at the fact that he kept the coloring pages and the little Beanie Baby snake that I sent him, we had dinner, we watched TV or maybe I should say I watched TV because he fell asleep on me and I watched a full episode of a show that I was not at all interested in because I; one, didn't know where the remote was and two, didn't want to wake him. Nice quiet evening in, finally being able to catch up on person again when I hadn't seen him since June.  Anyway, I had to leave at around eleven the next day because I had to work and he needed to go get plates and a new license and everything else.

So, work again Wednesday.  Then THANKSGIVING! I got up early so that I could head to my dad's early because we were having lunch with my grandparent's around eleven and I wanted to get most of my laundry done before we headed over there because I hadn't done any in probably a month other than the one load of just necessities like pants and undergarments.  So, I had a LOT to do! I got that taken care of, we went to my grandparent's house for lunch which my dad had cooked.  We realized after eating that he had forgotten to make the hash brown casserole that he had been planning on making, and he was mad at himself for it, but it was okay because the food was still good. Around 1:45 I went over to my step-grandma's for another Thanksgiving dinner - and yes, I was stuffed by the end of this day! - As soon as I walked in, I was in the kitchen talking to my mom and step-dad.  My mom was looking at something on the stove and was like, "This looks like it is getting really hot whatever it is." Then she said uh-oh and backed up really fast and the glass casserole dish with our stuffing in it EXPLODED! Turns out my step-grandma had accidentally turned on the wrong burner and that was a mistake.  So, we lost all of our stuff.  Phil got his leg cut a little bit from glass shards shooting all over the kitchen.  It was quite a site to see, mom said that it wasn't the first time that she had seen that happen, but it was the first time that she had been so close to it and it wasn't any less scary than any other time.  After that excitement again we just hung out as family and spoke.  I met my new nephew who is almost two months old.  I had to head back that night to pull bread for Friday though so I left around five or so.

Then I worked the rest of break.  While it didn't feel like it was very long, it was still definitely a good break.  Now just three more weeks of classes and then one whole month of break!

I haven't written a post in over a month, oops.  There has just been a lot of things going on lately with school and concerts and work.  I have just been really busy when it comes to things.  I do have to say though it hasn't been too stressful of a time lately. 

In the last month and seven days I have been two three different concerts (twenty one pilots, Young The Giant, and Sleeping With Sirens and All Time Low),  I have work just as much as I usually do which is nothing new., and then I am just trying to get everything back together with school.  I am pretty pleased with everything that has been happening.  In other super exciting news my best friend/boyfriend will be back in a little under a week and I am super excited to see him next week!

I really haven't done anything else besides school, work, and concerts.  Those few things keep me busy enough as it is.  Thanksgiving break is next week, I work all but two days of that which isn't a surprise, but it will be nice to not be bombarded with classes and work all that the same time like I usually am.  Then after that we only have two weeks of classes before finals.  I can't believe that the semester is basically over.  I also can't believe that I am going to be done with my undergrad come next December.  It totally doesn't feel like I only have one more year once this semester is over!

Anyway, since I hadn't posted in a while I just wanted to try to check in a little even if I haven't been doing much lately.
