Update On My Nothingness :)

So I'm over here at the in-laws house for our Sunday dinner (every third Sunday we go to Jon's parent's for dinner and get to see the whole family, it's so fun!) and my sister-in-laws were bugging me about not writing anything in here since Thanksgiving (which as an update, we ended up leaving work shortly after 5AM!) so here is my update:

First of all, I had the last 2 weeks off from work. HALLELUJAH! It was soooo nice to just relax! The whole first week I didn't do a thing. Heck, I didn't even put on makeup! I did have to go to work on Friday for a few hours to attend a training, and it was my classes last day so I popped in to say Hi.
Other than that I just slowly cleaned my house. Then that Saturday we had a party for my co-workers that was voted to be at my house. I've never really hosted a party before. Sure I can help pull one together and can help plan, but I've never had one at my house before. Luckily, Bab's did all of the planning and entertainment (thanks Bab's!), so when everyone got there we had Rock Band to play as well as a really fun game called Partini. We also did a pot-luck dinner, so there was little stress on me. However we didn't plan as well as we could have, and ended up with three main courses that were all drenched in cheese! We had cheesy enchiladas, tator-tot casserole and lasagna! Let's just say that while the food was all delicious, we were all really sick of cheese by the end of the night. Thank goodness for Ben bringing chocolate chip cookies to save us from a cheese overdose! I just want to point out that I work with some of the coolest people ever, and that they definitely made the party as fun as it was! So yeah, we played Rock Band until almost 4AM and then my carpol tunnel was hurting too bad so we had to call it quite. Plus I was barely keeping my eyes open while watching for the drum beats! Ha ha, it was way fun.

Last week I just did Christmas shopping. Oh, and I bugged Baby Brother Jeffrey for an hour and a half to have him help me label songs that he burned for me (he gave me 8 CD's and none of them were labeled!) That was fun, my Baby Brother is the coolest. On Saturday we had our Nielsen Family Christmas Party. I love our family Christmas parties, they are so much fun! Plus since I have a handful of cousins who are just babies, I just have a blast playing with them. I spent most of the night playing with little Zane and Gracie. They are so stinking cute! I'll have to see if Jen (aunt, not sister-in-law!) will send me some pics so I can post them (wink wink).

Now for the actual exciting news - Jon applied for Pharmacy school this month! Yikes! He applied for Southern Nevada University, so if he's accepted, then we'll either be moving to Nevada (at least it's warm!) or we might stay here in the valley because they recently built a branch here in Salt Lake! I really hope we can stay, because then we can stay in our house for longer. If not, then we're sort of SOL. But yeah. He's not taking any classes this next semester, he's just going to be studying for his PCAT to take in the spring. I really feel like our lives are finally moving forward!

So yeah, that's me. Nothing really exciting, but hey! At least I'm writing something! :) I'll try to post some pictures after Christmas, (this time I'll remember to bring my camera so we can get some fun ones!)
