California Here We Come!

Of course a snow storm comes on the night we decided to leave. Why weather!? WHY!? Luckily we just bought new tires that handle very well in the snow. So I get to drive at night, in the snow, with a wailing cat in the back who is going to sound like a dying cow. I think I am trying to imagine the absolute worse so that I won't be overwhelmed. Just set the bar super low so that I can be relieved when the trip goes well. Dallas did take the cat to pick me up at the airport once. And that was a two hour trip with no carrier, no nothin'. It'll be fine guys. I'm sure the cat won't throw up, or poop all over the carrier... or pee on my lap... Oh gosh, so many different awful situations. I will keep you all posted.

Yesterday was our first year anniversary! We left work a few hours early and got our tires realigned (romantic) and then went to a matinee showing of Skyfall then got all dressed up and went out to Outback. After dinner we came home and cleaned the house and got all packed up! It was a great day.

Is it time to go home yet!? All I want to do is get the car and cat ready to go! I got the pretrip jitters. Merry Christmas everyone! I will let you all know how the trip went and will try to document it as much as possible!

The Semester is Over!

I am finally finished with the worst semester of my life! Did I pass Calculus 2? Probably not! But it's over for now guys. Until next summer, then I will complain some more about it. I'm not really sure why I thought I could take discrete mathematics and calculus 2 in the same semester... but I don't have to worry about it anymore! Yay! I feel severely sleep deprived. And then I decided to go to the midnight showing of the Hobbit last night and be even more sleep deprived!

In a couple of days we will be on our way to Redding. So excited to spend 2 weeks at home relaxing with my family. However the car trip should be interesting. We are taking our kitty home with us because we don't want to leave him alone for 2 weeks. I am pretty sure Oreo is going to destroy our poor innocent kitty who I am pretty sure doesn't even know how to hiss. But we bought him a carrier for the trip and I think he likes it! Probably because I filled it with catnip and kitty treats... I'm sure he will love being stuck in it for 12 hours...

We went to Long Beach for Thanksgiving last month and it was spectacular. My sister hosted the most beautiful dinner.

 

 The pictures don't even do it justice. We also went to Disneyland! The first amusement park Dallas and I have been to together. It was magical. I can't wait until we go again in 2 years with my whole family and I can share the magic with my nieces and nephews. We are lame and didn't take many pictures but we do have this lovely one. As you can see my parents did not enjoy space mountain.
