Busy as a Bee

Christmas Banquet with this stud

I have been busy busy busy as a bee. Officially finishing finals on Friday, I flew to home sweet home in Minnesota Friday night with some of my best friends from the land of nowegians and "Don't cha knows". Since touch down on Friday night, I have hardly had anytime to sit back and rest. Saturday I got caught up to speed what is going on with my sister's, Megan, wedding and went to Troll Haugen in Wisconsin to see my little sister nordic ski race at Holiday Relays, which has always been one of my favorite high school ski races to compete in. I was able to see numerous friends and it was fun to see my coaches again. Afterwards, I raced back to my grandma's who had to alter a dress I borrowed from my suitemate, Kayla. Then I drove over to Bethel University and got ready for the Christmas Banquet with my handsome date, Zach.
The night was filled with pictures, laughter, and dancing. It was a blast to connect with friends from Bethel and also spend some quality time with my boyfriend. We finished off the night by watching the Christmas class, It's a Wonderful Life. If you haven't seen this oldy, I suggest you find it.

This morning I had the joy of experiencing a endoscopy. What fun! I must say it was much better than the colonoscopy I had to have this summer, two days before my 18th birthday. Fortunetly or unfortuntely the doctor did not find anything alarming, so Friday morning I get to do more tests. For having modern medicine, our society is very bad and slow at figuring out what is wrong with someone.

After my endoscopy, I spent the day curled up on the couch drinking hot cocoa, editing papers for my boyfriend, and helping my oldest sister with her wedding. I have yet a minute of my time, not to be occupied.
Although I am busy as a bee, I am so thankful and happy to be home. I never realized how much I would miss home (and home cooked food!) until I had to live on my own for four months. I really appreciate my mother's cooking and laundry skills much more after being away. I am also thankful to be surrounded by the beautiful snow in Minnesnowta. Chicago is missing some of the snow, but makes up for it in wind - a not so pleasant trade off.

I hope everyone is getting fat off of making Christmas cookies and enjoying the craziness of the Christmas season. Although I am a busy bee, I am a very happy busy bee.

Until Next Time,
