where did the time go?

Break has gone unbelievably fast!  It has been unreal.  It seems we have been on the go all the time.  From time in Iowa, shopping trip to Chicago with mom...Christmas here, seeing family from St. Louis and catching up with friends it has been non stop.  Its been so nice to be home, but has gone so quickly!!

One of my best friends, and bridesmaid, Becca got engaged over break so it was so fun to hear about her wedding plans.

I even got to go with her to find her dress and look at bridesmaid 
dresses!  It was so fun.  Always nice to catch up with with friends.

It is so weird now because even though all my friends are still in Illinois, It takes holidays to catch up with everyone!  Everyone stays so busy with their own jobs, school and wedding plans!!

Tomorrow night I am heading back to the suburbs and Joe and I are planning to go to a friends New Years Eve party which will be fun.  I haven't seen Joe in several weeks, so I am anxious to see him!

John is on a snow mobile trip and was to be home tonight, but was delayed because of the snow...so hopefully I will see him in a couple of weeks when I come home again.  He still has some time before he has to go back to school which is really nice for him!  It has been so nice to be home with him though and spend time with his girlfriend as well, Kelsey {she's in the first picture with me}.

Back to the grind of school...one more semester and I'll have my master's degree and will be getting married.  I can't wait!!
