So my sisters both came home from colleges in Utah for break and my mom decided that it'd be fun to spend the holidays AWAY from home, so where did she chose? A little one-bedroom apartment in Asheville, NC. Now don't get me wrong it was a wickedly fun vacation, spending time with my sisters who i haven't seen since the summer, and we've always been really close, so i t was nice having them around and all, but ONE bedroom...?
It was fun on the first day we went "hiking." This constituted of finding a camp ground and going from one little site to the next until we found a playground. It was the coolest thing, not only did it have swings (my FAVORITE!) but right off to the side it had a little wood bridge that lead to a tiny little island!! On the island in the middle of this forest in the middle of no-where North Carolina, it was the greatest find! a little fort built out of stick and branches, a little river with icicles frozen to the rocks, and just a lovely little bit of nature.
Christmas Day was fun too!! Santa came and visited us at the little apartment and he stacked all of our presents in a little tour, just like a Christmas Tree, and he even topped it with a little gold star! before we opened presents, we got up, had breakfast, got dressed, took family pictures (in front of the GIANT Christmas Tree in the lobby) and then we read the Christmas story-Matthew and Luke- and we finished off our Christmas Day Preparations by reading the book Santa brought us and left by the cookie plate. Just another Christmas that started off (relatively) the same :)
My sister Jessica got me to exercise too! What are the odds, right? And goodness, I'll tell you what my body HURT everyday haha, but hey, if it helps me get to the size I want to be for the wedding in May... :) The video of us doing lunges? Priceless :)
We finally left today and just barely got home, and can I say it is good to be home! I've missed my bed, and my own bathroom, and well, everything, but over all I think it was quite the successful getaway :)
