Snow in LJ

'Twas was the night before christmas (or actually christmas for us Germans),
When all through the house the Aheimers were stirring (and unwrapping presents).
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Mom had put presents in there.
The children were nestled all snug on the couch,
While it was lightly snowing outside.
A few flurries stuck to the grass and ground
nothing special to us Aheimers. (Totally doesn't ryhme but it's all good)
The flurries quickly turned to real snow,
And before we knew everything was covered...hohoho.
The news said about less than an inch or so,
But it was more like freaking 5 inches of wet, snowball-fighting-type snow. Yipeeeh....in freaking Lake Jackson by the way. The last time they had now was 15 years ago and that was only flurries. I can't believe we actually have a white christmas. It's so freaking amazing. This morning our entire neighborhood made snowmen. Ours is by far the coolest and most creative, because we Germans actually know how to built a snowman (FYI you roll the snow and don't just make a big pile). Anyway, the pictures are up on the family website for the nonbelievers. Ok, for right now I'm just gonna use my sisters footspa and enjoy the snow and our broken screen (since two panels broke b/c the snow was too heavy). This is sooo unbelievably great.
Snow = Happy Anni :)
Snow in LJ = Super Happy Anni :) :)

Merry Christmas Everyone

Ok, quick update. SKiing in Winterpark was a blast, I wanna move to Colorado so bad now. Anyway, the skiing was great except for the temperatures. The last couple of days we woke up and it was -5 degrees Fahrenheit. That is freaking cold, the weather is insane, supposedly it is snowing in Houston right now. Our airplane was delayed 4 hours last night because it couldn't leave Cleveland, so we got in at about 4 this morning. Anyway, today is Christmas so I'm excited and yes we crazy Europeans celebrate on the 24th. First Christmas present today was my first B in College. Bye, bye 4.0. I'm proud of the B though because it was Dr. Borst's class. Ok, I gotta go help my mom with Christmas preperations. Oh, another cool thing. I lost my driver's license and I found out the airport does not accept Tech IDs (even tough it's a photo ID). BTW Happy 21st Audrey, I'll call you right now to wish you a happy bday. Merry Christmas everyone.

Back in LJ

So after 9 boring, uneventful hours (record time, wohoo) I made it back to LJ. My mom welcomed me with a bday cake and my dad with HDTV on our huge 50 inch flatscreen tv and my lil bro and lil sis with crazyness and whipped cream on their pizza. So I guess everything is back to normal. Tomorrow is going to be a long shopping day and then Friday we leave to go freaking skiing and boarding in awesome Winterpark, CO. I can't wait. Btw Burns don't forget. The 20th, noon, on top of Mary Jane, you better be there or else. :) Anyway, I think I'm gonna hang out with the fam since I only get to see them for about 2 weeks. Oh yeah and to my delight I miraculously pulled of an A in thermodynamics. The only class I ever failed an exam in and was considering dropping. Ok, I'm outta here, everyone have a great break.

Don't wanna study

So since I don't wanna study for my thermo final in 2 hours, I'm gonna write some useless random shallow stuff in here.

My mom is currently in New York City with the ladies from her Monday Night Group. I guess those rich housewives have nothing better to do. Just kidding. I'm happy my mom gets to do all kinds of stuff especially since only my lil bro is left in the house.

I'm going skiing in Winterpark, CO on the 17th. I'm probably gonna end up hitting the slopes with Burns since he and his family are going too. Burns you are about to eat some powder. Oh, I can't wait. The last time I went skiing was two years ago.

Except for finals. I'm having tons of fun right now. I'm probably not gonna leave til Wednesday so that I can chill and hang out some more. How come that I have partied more during finals week than all semester long?

Ok, I'm gonna make myself some lunch so that I won't be starving during the suckiest final ever. Later

Bday

I had an absolutly fabulous birthday. It started off with me semi-sleeping in still 9 and then unwrapping presents. As I walked to my only class that day I got soaked from hail and it was actually quite fun. Then I just chilled around the house, replanted my flowers, hung up my huge German flag and so on. At 7 Lib and Denis picked me up to go eat at Johnny Carino's and that's when the evening began. Of course the guys couldn't resist taking me to Cricket's and making my 21st memorable. So thanks JD for getting me drunk. Thanks Laura, Jonathan and everyone else for buying me tasty shots. Thanks Jay for giving the best hugs. Thanks Lib for being my DD and making sure I don't get a hang over. Thanks Lindsay, Burns, Denis and Lib for playing Trivial Pursuit til 3 in the morning. Thanks Danny, Bob and Jennifer for coming to dinner and being great friends in general. Thanks Brett for showing up even though we don't hang out much. Thanks Angela, Audrey and Ellen for calling me to wish me a happy bday. It made my day. Thanks Jason for being dissappointed that you didn't get to see me drunk, because that was you goal for the last year or so. Thanks Julie and Sandee for being great roomies and baking me a cake. Thanks Erica and Melissa for wishing me a happy bday several times. Thanks Dillon, Amy C and Amy C, Jillian, Sarah C, Heath, Lauren Itz, Crystal, Erin and everyone else that simply said happy bday and enjoy your day. And of course everyone else that I forgot.
