Brian's home!

Well, Brian's home. We have had some great times together. We still like eachother, but we know it is worth it to be friends, and we are both happier that way. Well, let's see.. on Friday I went to his house and played UNO with his family and helped Sue decorate for Christmas - I don't want to admit it because it took way longer than I expected, but I enjoyed decorating, especially since I didn't get to do that at my apartment or at my house in GR. I still love his family very much. Lauren was there and she is ADORABLE. So cute because now she can say words and I love hearing her talk.
On Sunday Brian was supposed to come and hang out with the missionaries, Sam, Debbie, and I, but Sam and the missionaries cancelled (Sam had to work early and the missionaries didn't want to drive in the snow, I don't blame them.) So Brian helped me pack and he was also supposed to help move my bed which we still did in the blizzard. lol. We also got to listen to cheesy Christmas music and we talked too and it was a good time.
Monday was quite the adventure. Brian did me this huge favor by helping me get my car to Otsego. On the way there.. my car overheated.. so I had to pull over on the freeway in the snow and freezing cold. I called my dad. He said to put water in the radiator. Brian drove me to the nearest gas station to get some water. But after we filled it, it was acting up still. I realized that instead of filling the actual radiator, we filled the reservoir.. which did nothing. So Brian filled the radiator for me because I had no gloves (I knew I should have dressed warmer!) Well, that finally worked. And we were still able to go the mall and get some presents, thank goodness it closed at 10 instead of 9! And that was a good time too. We had a fun, a really great time, but now it's time for a break. I'm not going to see him until Friday. And that's a good thing. I can't wait for Christmas and family! I'm happy to go home.

Meanwhile... I feel impatient because I'm waiting for Justin to e-mail me back. I know that it has been no time at all since I've e-mailed him but I thought of a great gift to get him for Christmas, and I can't send it to him because I don't know his address in Idaho. :( Plus I miss him. But I need to be patient! I was patient on Wednesday just fine. I guess it comes and goes, haha. Nah.. I think I've been patient since then. :)

Well, I've got presents.. suitcases almost finished being packed.. I'm almost ready to leave my apartment.. but some last finishing touches including cleaning the bathroom.. it's getting kinda gross.. haha. anyway, I hope everyone has a great holiday! Oh, one thing, I was thinking about making a separate blog for Mexico trip stuff. Should I? Well, I need to write a gratitude list soon. It's been a while! wow! I will very soon. I will talk to you all later. :)

Love,
Stephi
