Getting ready for Vegas!!

It is finally over! and I am very excited to say that my little Christmas break has officially begun! Its off to a great start, because Jerry has web-cammed with me for two hours . Later on, he even left a voice message and go on facebook for a couple of minutes. I was only one minute off from chatting with him online, because I was taking a nap. After finding out, I couldn't fall back asleep. Maybe theres a voice inside my head that told me that if I stayed up he will be online. I did that until 3 am, and no sign. I had to goto work at 6 am this morning, but I was fine. (until 12 pm, I felt like crashing!!) It is weird, because I did not feel as tired as I thought I would be. I even ran over to burger king (my guilty pleasure) and ordered an ice coffee with tater tots. I felt like my insides were drenched in oil and sugar, but it has definitely hit the spot.

Anyways, today was supposed to be my hangout date with Alexandra, Jerry's brothers girlfriend. But, I had to back out because my mom, like always, tells me last minute that there is this family dinner that will happen tonight. I was kind of pissed, because this isn't the first time that has happened. But I learned to accept the fact that she is my mother, and I have to work my schedule around that sometimes. I still plan on seeing Alex before she flies back to North Carolina on January 2nd.

I stopped by the post office to send a care package to Jerry. Sending these care packages has truly been a very therapeutic process for me and it feels really good to know that the stuff will be in his presence within a mater of two weeks. In this package, I packed him some heavy duty socks, letters and envelopes, notebook, boot dryer (this little machine that helps the drying process of the boots) Sriracha sauce, some candies, slim jims, lotion, lychee jello cups, taco seasoning mix, and a little more stuff that isn't coming to my head now.

He Called !!!

So back to the dinner, I was very happy to see that my grandmother made some "tong yune," which is basically a sticky rice ball soup, or what I like to call mochi soup. It has pork, carrots, fish cake, mushroom, sticky glutinous balls, and a broth. The little balls are so fun to eat, because they're so chewy and sticky. They are supposed to represent the "togetherness" one family should have. All I know is that it is really delicious, and I would need to snag that recipe from my grandma one day. Oh, we also had hot pot, one of our families favorites.  I love spending time with my family.  
 During the middle of dinner, I received a pleasant surprise, a call from jerry! He decided to just tell me good morning (over on his time) but we didn't talk that long. To be precise, it was 2 minutes and 35 seconds. It brings me so much relief to just simply hear his voice. I can only imagine the day when he comes back, I will definitely lose it!

 P.S. It was Mikes birthday at work today, hooray!
