I worked this morning until 1:30, and after that I went to my grandmothers to have dinner there. It was my moms side of the family. It was okay, it just felt different this year. Things were crazy. I felt bad for my mom because she cooked most of the items since my grandma is not well lately. The food was okay, turkey was super dry but if I were my mom I wouldn't be too worried about that either... I picked at my food... eventually left to go home and get ready to go over Bobby's. I love my family but I felt kind of awkward this year. Not too many people actually take an interest in what goes on - they mostly just chastise you for not coming around lately.

Anyway.

So once I got there, his family was already home from his grandparents house. The first thing he did was feed me his grandmas "green jello". I recall seeing it last Christmas actually, but I didn't eat there so I never tried any. It's DELICIOUS! It's made with lime jello and cream cheese and pineapple and walnuts and coconut I think. It tastes like a fruit snack only in .. fluffy jello with pineapple and nuts style.

Then we watched..... CHRISTMAS VACATION!

I was secretly super excited about this because no joke, I had visions of watching this with them soon and I kind of hoped we'd watch it tonight but I never even mentioned anything, Bobby brought it up! After the movie, his parents brought us a big piece of his grandmas pumpkin pie to share. It's as tasty as my grandmothers is, only maybe not quite as sweet. Also, there is more to it. His grandmothers is bigger in general. It was delicious!

So after that, myself, bobby, and his mom and dad played a couple games of apples to apples. During the second game Bobby decided he wanted a turkey sandwich and this is when I sampled some of their leftovers.

The turkey was sooo good. I never knew turkey could taste that good. It was juicy too. Definitely not used to it! His grandmother makes a sausage stuffing and she puts like 12 eggs in it. It's more dense and seems more like egg than bread but it was very tasty. Oh and his mom also gave me some of the green bean casserole she made.

Then we all went back in the living room and started watching something else - i forget what - i was mostly cuddling with Bobby.

Eventually they went to bed and we just relaxed together the rest of the night.

But the cute thing - during the leftover break - Bobby's mom was like "So, your guys anniversary is coming up soon huh!"

Later I mentioned to Bobby I was surprised she mentioned that, and he was like "yeah! me too!" 

His dad was asking me if I like fish and everything because they do the italian 7 fish thing. So I guess I'm invited over for Christmas again this year. I wasn't TECHNICALLY invited over last year as we'd only been dating for what - 15 days haha... but uh it all worked out =). They didn't have a problem with me coming over for christmas and they were going back to his grandparents house later that night (they live right down the street) and they just had me come along.

I love his family... they are wonderful people.

Oh and then I was cracking up because I guess earlier that day Bobby and his dad were walking up the basement steps (their garage pretty much is their basement) and his dad saw his pants hanging on the line that have a big hole in the crotch. Well his dad was like "What, she didn't want to wait?" or SOMETHING like that, LOL.

He was kidding of course.

But omg - that made me laugh. I wouldn't expect it of him.

Anyway I'm done blabbing. I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving =)

bobby and I were enjoying one another and walking to class together this morning and remember the girl I mentioned a a few days ago, who saw us and yelled his name and who didn't acknowledge me at all even though I smiled at her the whole time and then finally gave her a dirty look at the end?

yeah well we had a brief moment with her again today as we walked by (i saw her coming from farther away but I distracted bobby with loving glances) and she yelled his name again and said hi what's up, etc, ignoring me again. SO this time Bobby was like "Sorry" and I was like "That's okay. I gave that girl a dirty look the last time" LOL

and then I explained what happened the last time we saw her about how i was smiling the entire time and she didn't so much as glance in my direction so i finally gave her a really dirty look before it was too late. he laughed and said he was sorry, though why he is apologizing is lost on me. it's not his fault every girl hates me for having him all to myself and pretends I don't exist when they see us together.

class was okay. my teacher really likes my color scheme for my senior project. various blues and the text on a nice pale yellow background. they work together. thank you artistically minded boyfriend.

i'm really super nervous about getting my latin test back.

bobby grabbed me lunch before i left school and we ate together. we were talking about my schedule for next semester and pre-reqs. he said he gets chills whenever he thinks of how it worked out with me and that graphic design class.

technically i was supposed to take fundamentals of 2-D design first but no one told me that before i took it, and when i found out mid-semester no one told me it wasn't okay. so i shouldn't have been in that class at all, but i was and i found him. =) thank you universe.

my FINAL SEMESTER classes (!!!) are these:

-latin 2 (yes! i'm gonna make it i'm gonna make it!)
-poetry (SIGH)
-medieval times (hopefully not TOOO writing intensive.. it's an english course.. i don't want a lot of useless work my last semester... i am only taking this to fullfill the 12 hr full time req!)
-computer literacy (from my "other studies" quota to fill. i'm pretty sure this will be easy folks)

this week is busy and it had BETTER be productive!!

"So... I have a theory. If we were to move in together right now... we would be eating ramen noodles every day for a year ... and I would be completely fine with that"

who'd have ever thought the sweetest thing would include the words "ramen noodles".

(in case you don't get it.. he's saying we'd be so poor we couldn't afford groceries, save for 40 cent packs of ramen noodles, lol... but he would gladly eat ramen for a year to be so close to me all the time) i feel the need to include the explanation because upon second thought, some might interpret this as "bobby really loves ramen noodles a lot".
