Well Christmas came and went with a bang, and now we are facing the sadness/emptiness following that. The lull in activities is driving me insane, whereas before I was going insane with all of the things to do. December 14th was "G-Day", the day Cory took the GMAT, and he rocked it. Seriously, my husband is a genius. He got in the 97th percentile and for that we celebrated. We went out to Iggy's that night and feasted on the relief of having that major milestone out of the way. Now he is just finishing up all of his applications and then we will be playing the waiting game until February for interviews. He is doing such a good job and I am so proud of him. Unfortunately, I couldn't fully get into celebration mode that night because I was still working on my finals that week. I took 19 credits this semester and I was feeling the effects of it by the end of finals week. I am so glad to be done, though, and one semester away from graduating. From college. :) So happy. So, finally, after all of the testing, we were able to slow down and really get into the Christmas spirit. We went up to Park City where we spent Christmas break with Cory's family. Cory's dad works at the Canyons resort so we even got some tickets for a ski day trip that we spent with his family as well. We had some great food, great games, and great new memories. As it was my first Christmas ever away from my family, I had some rocky spots, but it really was a great Christmas with only a few tears shed. Spending so much time with Cory was the best, everyday I was so happy that we didn't have work and that we could just be together. I loved it. Here are a few iPhone pictures that will illustrate our time a little better.
