Oh the Holidays!

I honestly dont know where to begin! This holiday season has been very interesting. Starting out with a bang on Thanksgiving with my parents and my sisters family in Vegas is quite the story. Grants parents were in Vegas also so my mom didnt want Grant and I to stay in his house alone.. understandable right??.. well Grant had to work at 12:00 on Thanksgiving so basically we were going to be together for a couple hours that night which was basically driving to Vegas then we slept in and saw eachother for about another hour before he had to come back to St. George to work.. that was not so understandable!! That night Grant and I went downtown in Vegas which always makes me mad because of all the naked people but anyways I was not a happy camper due to just starting bc and also the lack of food didnt help. But on the plus side Grant lasted and actually stayed with me on one of my worst nights and we also found an Italian resturant that we will be trying on our short little honeymoon getaway! I felt bad for Grant because of working the next day but oh well Grant said the food was great here at work so that was good! I of course had a blast with my family and the food was fantastic! Anyways so after Thanksgiving was finals week.. not so good. I had ZERO motivation due to wedding, family, being so burnt out with school.. and did I mention wedding??? Finally after I got done with my finals I was on a mission to get all my wedding stuff done before going back to school next week. To be honest I think I have completed my mission! There is only a couple last minute things that need to be done but cant be done until next week or the week of! Anyways.. on to Christmas! My family always has an annual Christmas Eve party.. which of course Grant was working. I however had a good time but went to bed early because I had to get up at 5:30 to head to work on Chirstmas. So the plan was Grant would go home at eight from work spend time with his family before they headed up north, talk to his brother Jake that is currently serving a mission in Virginia and then at 2:00 he would meet me at my house and we would do Christmas then. As the clock was ticking and I believe it was seriously 1:57 Grant gives me a call. He told me his brother needed us to pick  him up in Vegas right when I get off work. That whole story will have to be a whole other blog. So what did I do?.. I jumped into my car and went to Vegas for Christmas. I got back at 11:30 PM!! and celebrated Christmas then. My whole family waited up for me to get home and to be honest it was the best Christmas I have ever had. Not because of the presents which were awesome but because I was with my family which I just love so much and because this was my first year with Grant! He is amazing and I just love him to death. So pictures about this whole holiday spill.. will come.. but as for right now I am lucky to be writing about it!
