Autumn to Christmas

Once again I have been so good at procrastination and have to catch up. School is over til Jan. 5th and I am loving my break! I finished so many projects it was hard to keep them straight for a while and I spent most of my time at school in the computer lab doing cad work. Thanksgiving was nice, Jessica and I spent the day with Tenna and her family... It was great and I got so stuffed!
I am now in Michigan with my parents... I got here on the 13th of December and will be here til the 1st of January. I was so happy to come home after a year away. A few things changed but all good. Mom painted the office and foyer and changed a few light fixtures... Coming home made me realize how sweet life has been for me in the past. Its so nice to be back in a place where the walls are painted and the artwork matches and furniture too, with a hot tub out back and a big bed to snuggle up in.
I was so happy to come home in time to catch Bryce and Adrienne before they left to move to Las Vegas. I got to meet the newest addition to the family Olivia Vonda Dial! Little Ollie is the cutest baby ever! I cant believe how great she is... she doesn't cry much, almost never spits up, and has the sweetest little grin. I just wanna hold her all the time! Its weird to think of Adrienne as a mom, but she is doing great... as far as i can tell. We hit up the pancake house on the 17th then came home to celebrate Christmas before the dials moved out. It was very nice and simple.
Since then not a whole lot has happened. A huge snow storm came dumping about 2 feet of snow. Mom, Dad and I spent Saturday morning digging through the mountain the plow left at the end of the driveway... now mom's back is sprained :( We have spent our time watching lots of movies (Phantom of the Opera, Get Smart, Elizabeth something, Hell boy and more) and baking cookies etc... This morning we opened our presents from JS etc... and KC etc... I got some really neat ornaments and mom and dad got plates with grand kids hand or foot prints. Since we already had Christmas, today we watched a movie and mom and i went out and sat in the hot tub afterward. We spent this evening over at the Belchers eating leftover ham and various desserts. Yummy! I am really missing all the family though, wishing we could all be together.... which is why I am looking forward to January 12 SO much! Everyone but Bryce :( will be together in California :) There I will get to meet the very newest member of the family- JohnSteven and Rachel's little Jack Everette Asvitt. I'm so excited to play with the girls and boys too! It was so fun to hear John talk to "grandpa" thanking him for his monkey present on the phone. It is so neat to see how much they grow in such a small amount of time.
Oooo, I am also looking forward to February when, hopefully, mom and I will get to go visit Adrienne in Las Vegas and help her fix up the place they just moved into. So fun! And I'll get to see Ollie again! If only I didn't have to take classes, I would just go back and forth between all my nephews and nieces babysitting and playing with them! But alas, I must grow up and learn and earn money :(
