Another Year Has Come And Gone

Oh how I have missed 3G!! I decided I would fill you all in on what has been going on in the small town of Johnston, SC. This has been a great Christmas break!
Before I even returned home I went to visit Sallie Wham for some bonding time. We ate alot and laid around and talked...3G's favorite things to do! When I did finally make it home, I returned to a decorated house and fresh flowers in my room!

 The barn behind my house. My parents decided to put lights on it this year. Apparently a few went out.

 The wreath that is hung on my bedroom door every year. I have had this wreath since my senior year in high school when I found out I got into PC!

                                                                 The Christmas Tree!

After I got settled in and unpacked I went into what Claire likes to call my "Hibernation." Literally I basically slept for a week. If I wasn't sleeping I was lounging around watching tv, shopping, or hunting.

 Laying around watching The Nanny and drinking White Russians...pretty much my life over break!

                                                                

This was my life until I packed up and drove FIVE hours to visit my wonderful roommate Claire! Of course I didnt leave on time, but I finally made it there safe and sound. The first thing we did was open our Christmas presents from each other. Claire gave me a movie and basically footed pajamas but without the feet. The pajamas were great because the Claire and her sister have a traditon that they get up one morning and wear their footed pajamas and make a ginger bread house. I was able to be apart of this tradition this year!

I would post a picture of the three of us in our pajamas but I looked terrible in that picture. So after we finished the ginger bread house we lounged around and then got ready for Mrs. Chewning's Christmas Party! We had a BLAST!

 This is Ashley, Clair, and I before the party. Ashley is Claire's roommate from St. Mary's. 3G will love her when she comes to visit!

After a GREAT visit with the Chewning's it was FIVE hours back home! Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were great! It was wonderful to have family gathered together. "Santa" was also very good to us!

 I couldn't find Harrison so I took a picture with Snowflake (the cat) instead. I have had her for ten years. Only I would test "Santa" and ask for a solid white cat a week before Christmas.

                                                                        Christmas Day!

Many people had a White Christmas. We on the other hand had snow the day after Christmas which was Sunday. Well thank goodness that Johnston is such a small town and that I live right around the corner from my Church because I had to walk there that morning. I am still carless and Harrison was so impatient and wouldn't wait five more minutes for me to finish getting ready so I walked to church in heels in the snow!

So I have done a little hunting over the break. Sadly I didn't kill anything, but Harrison and I got in some great bonding time. He had already killed a couple of deer this season so he was so willing to take me. On our last hunt he killed a bob cat from 15 yards and completely blew the insides out of it. He was proud!

Now I am getting ready to head back to PC and trying to figure out where I am going to put everything I am bringing back. 3G, I miss you all and can't wait to see ya'll and have hall bonding time!!!! See ya'll soon!!!
