Christmas :)

Merry Christmas!! Hope you all got everything you wanted from Santa this year ;) I know that my Christmas was wonderful. I was trying to take it all in because I will be in Spain next year for most holidays, it's a little bitter-sweet

Early in the week I took a two-day trip to Chicago with Dan to see Wicked and go to Dinner (dinner was actually a late Birthday present because I had my wisdom teeth taken out when we originally planned on going). We were walking around Chicago looking at the lights and the tree... and he proposed, so I am now engaged! The wedding will not be for a few years so no worries there (it will not hurt my grades Dad!). We want a long engagement and for both of us to finish school first.

-Insert information about Dan: He is a senior at WIU, we meet last year because we lived on the same floor in the dorms (and we live on that same floor again this year). He is Majoring in Law Enforcement and graduating this Spring. He is planning on attending Grad School next year but he has to get permission from the National Gaurd (which he is in) first.

Well back to the blog... That was my biggest Christmas present but I got some other things as well. I got boots and mocisons that I wanted, a book, money to iTunes, Target and Walmart gift cards, purses, purfume, a 12 language translator (YEAH! getting ready for Spain), an adaptor (yeah Spain!), pajama's, make-up, a coffee thermos, etc. etc. etc. It was so nice being home and it was a white christmas!!! Of course the house is filled with other toys from my sisters and brother's gifts which were all opened as soon as they could be! The house was crazy this morning and I am sure it will be for about a week longer :) They all seem to be very happy with all of their gifts, I think we all had a very nice Christmas here.

As well my grades were posted this week for the semester and I recieved a 3.4 GPA. WIU recently changed to a plus/minus grading scale which messed us all up a little bit and if it weren't for the new scale I would have gotten a 3.6. But I guess it's all woulda, coulda, shoulda. I also was sick with Bronchitis for all of my finals so I think I could have done a little bit better if it were not for that. I am only just now getting over Bronchitis :( but at least it will be over soon!

I am working while I am home of course, saving up money! I have no other big plans this year.. We will have to see what 2011 brings!!

Merry Christmas Again and Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

LOVE,

Paige
