Tis the Season*

I can't believe how long it has been since I last logged on to blog, I have been seriously slacking in this department but for a good reason, it was dead week and now we are smack dab in the middle of finals and boy are they a mood killer. I have however been pretty blessed that my professors, thus far, have prepared me for the finals I have taken. My last final is Thursday and I couldn't be more excited to get it done and over with! It is certainly time for a break and some much needed down time. 

While I should have been studying my little brother and I decided to make holiday treats (to help along my procrastination) and they turned out wonderful. I was able to give some to new people who have strongly influenced my life this year. Carolyn at Portneuf Towers for helping see beyond peoples exteriors and Jerry & Gwen Chudej for bringing me into your home and treating me like one of your own!

 

I am going to be fairly busy the next couple of weeks visiting family :). People say part of the downer about your parents getting divorced is that your family is no longer together, but its not to bad and I get to have two Christmases with two amazing families!! This coming Saturday I will be heading to Boise to spend some much needed time with my Dad's family, the Harwick/Ward clan. They are crazy loud, drinking, talking machines. You should be jealous at how crazy fantastic they are. I will be staying with my Grandma Cherie who is probably the most kick ass grandmother anyone could be lucky enough to have!! 

I will be leaving Boise on Christmas Day to come home and spend Christmas night with my mom, sister, baby brother and step dad Matt. This will be a new tradition for us seeing how usually my parents split the holidays down the middle, but this year I get to spend the holiday with both my parents, it should be amazing!! After Christmas that following Friday I will be heading to Reno to spend New Years with my moms Parents!! I am super excited because I have never been to Reno and it seems like forever since I have gotten to spend some time with my favorite Grandpa!! 5 days away from Pocatello and with people I love it couldn't possibly be any better!!
