It’s been awhile since my last post, but that’s just because it has been a crazy last few weeks!! December started off with my last few chapter visits to Iota Delta in Oklahoma and Sigma in Iowa City, both great visits. On December 9, all of the ELCs and the LCs and the rest of the Member Services staff all headed back to Indianapolis to finish up our semester and for the end-of-the-year celebration. It was so great to be back together with everyone!! We had a blast hanging out, shopping, going out in downtown Indianapolis and Broad Ripple. I love these girls and it was so great to spend almost a week with them!
After almost a week in Indy, I headed home for “break,” which has been pretty busy and fun. I’ve been picking up a few hours at the Copper YMCA, staying at Kim’s house and hanging out with friends and family in Lincoln and Omaha. Christmas was so much fun and it was so great to just be with my family and friends! The Christmas festivities began on December 23 with a Cheesy Sweater party at Andy and LeAnna’s, with all of my friends from Gross. On December 24 the Krysl family got together for Kolene’s birthday, we then went to church and then to my Grandma and Grandpa Krysl’s house for a fun filled night, which included playing Cranium! We had a blast! We spend Christmas day at my Grandma Padilla’s with the Matis family! The day consisted of eating Grandma’s special spaghetti, playing Cranium, opening gifts and just hanging out.
I spent December 26th and 27th in Gothenburg, NE for one of my best friend’s wedding! Helen and Josh Cool were married on December 27, and I had the privilege and honor of being a bridesmaid!! They are a great couple and their wedding was very beautiful and the reception was so much fun!! It was great to be reunited with my Alpha Xi Delta sisters and dancing the night away! I came home on Sunday, December 28, but I headed back to Lincoln to spend the night at the Pair’s, since I was working in Lincoln the next day. It was so nice to hangout and catch up with Kim! On Monday night I headed to Platt River State Park with all of my best friends from High School for a little vacation. We were there from December 29 to December 31, we just came back today. We spent two nights hanging out, playing games and cards, talking and laughing, and cooking for each other. It was so nice to be all together again!!
I just can’t believe it is already December 31, 2008!! This year has flown by and has been truly life-changing. I hope you have a fabulous and safe night! Happy New Year!!! See ya in 2009!!
Love,
Em
