Things to do for Christmas Break:

Foot Surgery had the surgery and all went well!

New Years at the Ranch"What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger"  That's the quote of the night.  too many drinks, too many talks, too many tears, too much fun!  I have no choice but to accept what happend and appreciate that it did happen.  I learned alot about alot of people last night.  Some things I don't want to remember but don't want to forget.  Like I said alcohol changes people in different ways but it brings out the honesty in everyone.  I can't believe Jack slept on the floor in his own house.  I slept in Ally's car all by myself.  Shaena LEFT.  She went to Justin's and slept there with him.  Ally was in a pick-up with Boggs and Henry.  Cameron locked herself in Grossman's car as he ran around naked.  haha

Dinner with the girls (Maria, Shaena, and Ally)  Cheesecake factory!  We were almost the last people there.  It was a Sex and the City Sunday Brunch.  Boys, Babies, and Booze

Camp Folk something...   Amber and I went shopping before Christmas (and the surgery) and Jacque, Amber and I are eating on Greenville tomorrow.  Where's Ross-a-Roo?  we had lunch at BJs, almost went to Balls but went with the root beer.  Ross joined us!  it was a good catch up talk (possibly our last )

See Kyle and his fam well, saw the fam.  Trying to get ahold of Kyle. Kyle and I had mexican food today at the restaurant we always go to.  It was nice, very casual.  He liked my going-to-study-abroad present too! He'll be at Jack's Ranch (but so will everyone else) so I'll see him there too.

random gambling trip with girls so close, after the Cheesecake but I was the only one with cash. 

see Danielle! 

coffee with Nicholas  he cancelled on me.  he needed a nap.  Tuesday Nicholas and I went to Starbucks and chilled at my house.  He leaves for San Antonio on Wednesday (tomorrow).  I'll be there in a week!  Fun! (kinda)

random trip to austin (or houston or tarlton) with the girls

bowling

putting range

camping!!!

MMMMMMM TURKEY!!!!!!!  Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!!!! 

Ashley and I left SA Wednesday at noon and got to Dallas at 7pm!  I couldn't believe how long it took. But arriving in Dallas was breath taking - "my concrete jungle".  Downtown Dallas was a beautiful sight!!  I get in, the house was beautiful, Theresa made me a sign saying: "Happy Thanksgiving & Welcome Home Rachel".  It was lovely.  Then we ordered pizza from one of my favorite New-York-Style pizza in Dallas.  We ordered a 20" pizza (that's huge) with half hamburger and half everything, but they delievered a pizza with sausage, onion and, pepperoni.  We called and they sent us the correct pizza but told us to keep the old one.  So we had two 20" pizzas!!! Two huge pizzas before Thanksgiving: a day surrounded around food.  We saved both pizzas in the freezer.  haha  After family time my dad asked me "so, where are you going tonight?"  i was exhausted and didn't want to.....but you know I did.  Ally was online and said Shaena and Justin were going over so I stopped by too.  We talked and talked and talked just like girls.  We planned to party all weekend.  I'm excited!

For Thanksgiving my Dad had to work.  That left the girls to cook Thanksgiving.  But Jessica was recovering from hip surgury she had on Tuesday.  That left my mother and me.  AHHHH!  Well, Jess ended up helping and I made the coconut pie but I was spilling stuff everywhere!  I didn't have enough pie crusts so I had to run to the store and I got the last shells!  Yes, I bought them from the store, they were NOT made from scratch.  Like John said "I'm not the domestic type". 

Thanksgiving dinner was scheduled for 4 but didn't begin until 5pm.  There was actually "kids table" at our Thanksgiving dinner and I had to sit at it!  Both my sisters and I.  But it was a thankful Thanksgiving!  Hope yours was too!!!
