95 Miles

I wasn't sure if this has ever been posted... But just in case anyone was wondering, the reason for the name "95 miles" is that 95 miles is the road distance between Matt and me. Could be worse, but the name sounded cool :).

While I'm at it, I thought it was time for a picture. It was taken by Jason this summer at six flags, and I keep a copy of it in my wallet. It's one of my favorites :).

One Crazy Week(end)

First off, I spent the past week (Mon-Fri) in Rhode Island, and when I wasn't working... I was missing Matt like crazy.

So finally when I got to see him on Friday, I wanted as much time as possible before school starts back up on Tuesday.

So I saw him Friday night for a couple of hours before he had to work, and spend the night in South Berwick. We then headed out to my place (Matt slept the whole way there, plus some) and hung out there for a few hours where I finished up some much needed to do's. We then headed out to a little mini-concert thing. It had 5 bands, Heartbeat, FatSoul, Blueprints of the Heart, Koi, and Armada. Most were pretty good, and one even want's Matt to drum for them. It probably won't happen, but I think we both are just a little excited that he got asked, esp. since the band is about to sign a record. I wish I had some pictures for you.

Sunday was Church, shopping, sweatshirts :-p and me heading home early due to a forecast of way too much snow tomorrow. :(

Snow on Mondays should be illegal just for the purpose that that is my driving day.

Laura's little vacation/New Years

Alright, now since Matt and my two best friends Pepin and Bekah were visiting, I decided to take a little vacation. Pepin (Jason) was on break from army boot camp, and Bekah was visiting from Baltimore, so neither of us really get to see them very often. It was awesome! The first night I got there we went out to see Alvin and the Chipmunks (against my will,) and it was surprisingly good. We then went to eat at friendly's... Yum.

Sunday, the next day, was pretty relaxing. I actually don't remember what we did. We went to church, and then went out somewhere I think... Oh, food shopping I believe. Then Karen and Meesh came over and we all chilled and ate some pizza. Then church again, and cafe! Matt, Jason, Bekah and I managed to escape for a little escapade in the snow. We had fun, but got a little bruised because the snow was more like ice. Haha. No pictures for that unfortunately. Just after our escapade, Chelsea showed up. Matt and Jason had to leave at 12, because that was the curfew, but us girls (-Meesh, who went home) stayed up until 2:30am chatting, and... talking about girl things!

The next day was NEW YEARS EVE!! Chelsea left early that morning, but we (PA, Karen, Meesh, Matt and I) went out and picked up a popcorn machine, which Karen and I manned for the party that night. It was also around that time that Karen and I came up with the idea to have a Game show, and we declared it the "Souper Bible Bowl." We spend most of the rest of the day before the party planning that. The nights events went like so:
Run to Starbucks before the party. Bought a mug.
Out to cafe to make popcorn with Kare Bear.
Watch "Facing the Giants" in the Worship Center.
Souper Bible Bowl.
Karaoke.
*:)*
and Finally, watching the ball drop!!

Tuesday was also an interesting day. Matt, Jason, Bekah and I took the day mostly for the four of us. We rushed out in the morning to go bowling before the snow hit, and we did bowl, but we didn't beat the snow. Luckily, we did make it home before the roads were too bad. We then proceeded to take a nice little nap, and then go out and PLAY with Karen and Meesh!! wOOt! Yeah baby, we sleeded, had snowball fights and even snowboarded. It was fun.

Wednesday was date day. Matt and I dropped Bekah and Jason off at Jason's parents house and then took off for our date! We went shopping a little bit for some jeans (Matt completely tore his while we were playing in the snow) and then went to Rose's for lunch (Thanks Tim and Amanda for the Christmas present!) After that we both got haircuts and went shopping again! :) Then another nap time before I left, and thus ended my vacation.

Christmas Day = REALLY LONG!!!

Christmas Day where to begin...

Sleep was good, but lacking for the excitement that was coming that morning.
Got up at 9:15 am with a call from mom saying come on over to help set up for breakfast... Dad made me happy and made the traditional dropped eggs on toast, bacon, and OJ!!! Tim, Amanda, and the babe came down and ate with us.
We then opened our presents, Hailey, of course, receiving the most presents... I got a great Patriots sweater... GO PATS!!! Mom and dad got me blinds for my window ( I work 3rd shift, sleep is hard when the sun beams you in the face) and a brand new TV and entertainment stand, which looks awesome!
FYI: Mom also helped we clean and re-setup my room, it looks so nice now!
Now the fun part...
The adventurous trip... 95 Miles north...
At about 3:30 pm or so, I headed up north to be with Laura and her family, after crazy holiday traffic and a stop at Starbucks and an hour and 40 minutes or so I arrived, the house was surrounded by cars, when Laura said family, she meant her WHOLE family, who i've already met most of them, so it wasn't that bad... Got in, we did the gift exchange, I got her parents a giftcard to Olive Garden - a dinner for 2 and Laura got the Softest blanket on the Face of the Earth from Bath and Body Works... Needless to say she loved it. Her parents got me a giftcard to The Pizza Stone, some amazing new drumsticks, and some really comfy new soft PJ pants. Laura got me junk food, junk food, a wicked nice ring, a super comfy shirt, an aromatherapy mint pack, and did I mention junk food? Yes, yes I did... The rest of the night we played on their new Nintendo Wii and Laura and I watched Music and Lyrics, and finally after a fun filled (Tiring) day we went to sleep, 6 hrs of sleep we woke back up and I headed home! Then friends, travel, work, and moving i'm about to finally sleep again!
Good Night to All!
Matt out! Peace...

Snowed In

So, Monday was our first big snow of the season. I (Laura) was supposed to work Monday night, but called out early because I knew a storm was coming, and was walkin' in a winter wonderland with Matt, Karen and Meesh all day on Monday. We had a great day of sledding, jumping into snowbanks, board games, and twister moves. Oh, and pizza :).

I still had to drive in the snow on Tuesday morning though, which stunk, especially since my class should have been cancelled, or the school should have at least been delayed.

Oh well, sometimes you just have to drive in the snow.
