Christmas Break Update!

okay so i just realzied that i haven't written anything about my christmas break! i guess i've kind of neglected this thing recently... but not anymore!

on the day we got out of school i went out to eat with autumn, hank, brittany and britt's lil brother, derek, at Bianckes! it was fun- britt brought photo albums and we just hung out and chatted. after that me and autumn and hank went bowling for a little while. it was great cause there was like nooo one there but us! we went back to hank's house after that and played board games... operation and clue! haha autumn went to the basketball game but me and hank decided not to, so we just kind of chilled at his house. that movie, um with arnold schadjfkajeihtietjer at christmas was on so we watched that. after the game i went to autumn's with caitlin to spend the night... only i had to help caitlin put air in her tire on the way out cause she didn't know how?! haha anyways the next day we got up SuPeR early and caitlin drove me into town to hank's house. he was spending the wholeeee weekend with me! :) i helped him pack and stuff (he forgot his shoes! haha) and then we went to meet my daddy. when we got to my house we went and chopped down my christmas tree! leslie and james were here! and then i told hank where we were really going the next day... Phantom of the Opera! he was completely surprised! (thanks to everybody who kept the secret!) and so we spent the rest of the day decorating the tree and just being lazy. Dean came home sometime... i don't exaclty remember when. haha i sent in my youth salute bio thing and gave hank like a 50 hour back massage! haha the next day after church we got ready to go see Phantom! on the way over there hank and i were talking and we decided it would be perfect if it snowed when we came out of the theater after we saw the show. of course it wasn't supposed to snow or anything, we were just hoping! when we got there i was so excited! we were pretty early, actually (how that happened, i do not know! haha) so we just sat around and talked. we had met leslie and james on the drive up so everybody was there! when it started hank about broke my hand he was so excited! it was soooooooooooo good! i loved it! but, for whatever reason, i got a headache at intermission and that kind of sucked! after the show hank wouldn't freakin tell me what he wanted so i got him a pen! haha so we left... and guess what it was doing. it was Snowing!!! it was amazing... like everything was exactly how it should be! after the show we went out to eat at Pompilio's! i loveee that place. it was just good to be together and talk and everything. by that time my headache was like evil so i was kind of out of things... i slept all the way home. when we got home i ended up staying up until like 4 or something in the morning... well i got a little nap, but yea. haha the next day me and hank and my 'rents when shopping in Lexington before i had dance. me and hank really just walked around the mall for like 3 hours, but it was fun! i was like a half hour late for dance! i had to do 25 pushups- one for each minute i was late! haha the next day i went over to hank's for a little bit before dance. his family gave me presents! :) they are so sweet, i love them! not because they gave me presents but because they are wonderful! anyways hank went to louisville on wednesday and i was bored out of my mind for 5 days. we went shopping wednesday and thursday... and friday i think, too! on Saturday les and james came over and we all went to mass. then we had christmas dinner and opened up our pajamas! we always get pajamas on christmas eve! hank had his to open in Louisville! I woke up at like 5:30 on Christmas and made everybody get up to open presents! i got an iTunes music card, dirty dancing and annie on dvd, the sweetest digital camera ever, a jacket/coat, a marilyn monroe calendar, and um i really don't remember what else! haha les and james left at like 9 to go to james' family and the rest of the day was kind of mundane. on monday i finally got to see hank! i went to his mom's house and when i got there he gave me a piece of paper... and i was like what is this? and he was like read it! and it was a clue... he had set up a scavenger hunt for my presents! my first one was in Polly's room. he wrote me a song! and had recorded it at the church and played the instruments and stuff for it. and it is the sweetest most wonderfulest song you've ever heard! i almost cried! (i'll post the lyrics or the song later) and my next present was in the shower! it was these arm band things that tennis players wear and i was kind of like, huh? cause i didn't understand. so the next present was in the refrigerator. it was pink tennis balls! he made me open the can and it scared the crap out of my cause they're vaccuumed sealed or whatever. my next present was in the basement and it was a tennis racket!!! i was like yesss! but there was one more present! and he told me i had to go search for it. it ended up being in his room. and it was ring! the most beautiful ring ever! :) he is so wonderful... i am so lucky! and then he opened my presents! i got him a coat and a hat and i made him a picture frame and some cookies! his dad picked us up and we went to his house for a little bit. then we went to his grandparent's house for christmas with that part of the family. there were like 35 people there, it was crazy! it was so much fun, though! we ate- and the food was really really good! and then we just kind of visited with everybody. you should have seen the downstairs, it was covered with presents! it took them like over 20 mins to pass them all out. i was expecting like one present or something, but no! for a while there Hank thought i got more than him! (i didn't!) and of course Hank started a (wrapping) paper wad fight... and i kind of feared for my life for a while there. haha (why do i keep saying for a while there? haha) anways the next day i spent all day with Hank! :) we played tennis (with my new racket!) at the highschool courts for like 4 hours- i am not exaggerating! i am working on my tennis skills... not real great right now! haha after that we just kind of hung out at the church for a little while. then me and his family went to the movies to see Fun With Dick And Jane. it was really funny! we saw sunshine and leann and beth and kaleb and david and jason and kensi and johnna and i don't remember who else! after that we went to eat at Cracker Barrel! yummy! :) me and hank played checkers and i was beating him, but somehow he won... he's sneaky! the next two days were boring... sat at my house really. we went up to cincinnati to the mall one day for Dean. he'll be turning 21 in 4 days!!! we got him a new video iPod! on friday i went over to hank's for a couple of hours. ethan was over at his house and we all played this board game called aggervation... pretty much like Sorry if you know what that is. on saturday, New Year's Eve, i spent all day with Hank again! we watched the Notebook at the church, but we didn't get to finish it! we hung out at his house for a while and then went to Ethan's. Jared was there and we all went to Ken's to get stuff for our little get together! hank was sooo hyper! when we were going out to ethan's truck he runs into the street and lays down in the road (like in the notebook) and then jumps up and throws me over his shoulder and runs back to ethan's truck. what a tard! so anyways we go grab some Ale8 and moutain dew and chips- they wouldn't go for the sparkling grade juice- grrrr! and then we went to hank's grandparent's house! ryan was already there when we got there, and terri and wayne were there. the guys set up the xbox or whatever that thing is called. haha and we just chilled. people came in and out. autumn finally got there at like 10! derrick brought her, haha. we all went out to the golf course and just hit golf balls in random directions... there were trying to hit a porta potty for a while... and then they tried to put ryan in it. haha me and autumn snuck behind a tree and decided we were going to scare them. so we screamed like something was attacking us, and we had the light so they couldn't see us or anything. and well... that kind of made hank mad. like he was going to kill somebody. we got him so good! but i had to promise him i would never ever do it again. we went back to the house after that, my feet were freezing off cause i was in my flats. we just kind of hung out, they played xbox and me and hank played checkers... he freakin beat me, again! and then we watched the ball drop and toasted with Ale8s! haha after that i was just entertained by Ryan's singing and autumn's dancing. they are strange ones! haha but yea ethan gave us a ride out to autumn's. we stayed up until like 5 just talkin and stuff! the next day we didn't get up until 2. we had chinese and ice cream and pizza rolls for breakfast! haha we practiced parallel parking in her yard for like a half hour, that was fun! i love her car. i'm so excited! she's going for her license tomorrow! i don't know when i'm going for mine... but i need to soon! my dad got lost on the way to her house to get me... again! haha yesterday marked the first day of my new workout plan! woohoo! haha last night i had trouble sleeping and hank turned his phone off. but i finally got ahold of him. i don't know what was bothering me, but just talking to him made it okay. i freakin love him sooooo much. he is amazing! :) and today i'm just chilling at home. doing nothin. writing this! gettin ready to go to dance! so this is the end. wow. i'm exhausted now. but i love my life. leave me some comments! :)
