Christmas time is here, well almost...

"Christmas time is here"...well almost!!  8 days away, and only 2 days until I get to go home to Rockford.  I can't wait.  I just finished my last two papers and have one more test to take on Thursday and I'm out of here. 

I did have a little set back over the weekend.  Joe and I went home to Rockford for the weekend I ended up getting the stomach flu!  Not fun.  I was just glad I was home.  There is something about being in your own bathroom and your own bed.  Even at 22 years old my mom still brought me sprite to drink when I was dehydrated and reminded me to "drink it slowly, just sip it."  I love that, you're never to old to have your mom help you when you're sick :o) It is always a comfort!  As nasty as I felt all weekend, I was so glad to have my family to take care of me.  John made me soup, Dad went on a sprite run, Mom washed my sheets and was nurturing as ever, and Joe even carried me to my bed and drove on our way back to Naperville.  I'm pretty lucky!  I have so much to be thankful for...and I am feeling much better now, Just a little tired still!

I did get to try on my wedding dress this weekend!  It was very exciting.  My mom and I went up to the little bridal shop in Clinton, Wisconsin called "Veils and Tails" and tried on my dress.  I love it even more than the first time I think.  This shop is just so cute too, they are so friendly there and very accommodating.  Mom and I went for Starbucks and had fun trying on lots of veils with my dress.  I know the next few months before my wedding will go very quickly!! 

Soon it really will be Christmas time and I can't wait to spend it with my family.
