Getting spoiled, Chipotle in London, and Having the Christmas Spirit.

Okay I know it's been kind of awhile. I've just been so busy! And when i'm not busy, i'm sleeping, lazy, or just wanting to enjoy my husband instead of blogging about how I'm so busy. Well as we all know it's christmas time and I am LOVING it. Despite the fact I have no family here and all traditions are out the window. I love the snow, and Scott and I are having some fun with Christmas on our own. Shopping for eachother and of course i'm a little peeker so I already know i'm getting SPOILED this christmas. And hey, no complaints here! I spoiled him too (: I guess that's the fun in it. Spoiling your other half. Baking cookies, throwing snow at each other and taking random trips to Paris for New Years. I've got to admit... this is quite the life for two 20 year olds just married. I'm so thankful for all that I have and couldn't be happier about our situation. Well, I have my weak moments where all I want is california food, weather, and friends. But i'm surviving just fine without all of that. Even though I totally got my fill of some Chipotle yesterday in London. That definitely is something i'm thankful they have here. It's like what fills my california void. Only 6 more months til I come home to enjoy all of that for a bit. Can't wait.

I went to London yesterday to get Scott's passport with him, and while I was there I managed to take a few snapshots for you all. We were babies about the cold, and we were grumpy. Getting up at 5 am to make a 9 am appointment is hard :/ So we were cranky, and cold pretty much the whole time we were there. Minus the time we were in Chipotle. Just because it was something to fully enjoy. Other than that we were just focused on getting out of there and getting back home. Once we got home I knocked out on the couch for a few hours while Scott got his game time in. We're definitely boring married people in this country haha.

 Bacon and Sausage Sandwich Scott decided to get before our train to London. It was quite disgusting if you ask me.

 I think his face shows how gross it was.

 Fancy Shmancy KFC with their tiny portioned food.

 My new kicks. (:

I have a few countdowns going on at the moment....
3 days until Christmas!
7 days until Paris trip!
66 days until London Fashion Weekend!
191 days until I go back to California for a month!

My life is awesome at the moment. What would make it more awesome was to have one of my california girls come with me to Paris and Fashion week. I already know it won't happen. But a girl can dream (:

As of my life over here day to day it's been fairly normal. Working with my girl Sarah. She and I exchanged gifts and she is the sweetest! She got me the new Mariah Carrey perfume Forever and I LOVE it. I wear it every day. I think it's my new fave. I love that lady, working with her is the best. Outside of work I mainly just been keepin to myself at home. BChieze is about the only girl I actually care to hang out with in this country. I'm totally okay with that too. Other friends are cool and all but I don't really mind anymore if they come and go. It's just not a worry anymore like it was for me in the beginning. I'm getting way more independent living here, I can tell. Back home I was around people and friends pretty much 100 percent of the time. I guess that's why I feel the need to be with Scott every second he's home. I know he needs his space, I know I get mine. He should be able to get his. I'm just not used to that haha. But it's getting easier and days are more enjoyable than they have been the last 5 months i've been here. I think i'm finally adjusting, believe it or not. Only took me half a year! I check the mail almost every day. I have gotten 3 packages from family. And getting those is SO nice. Just getting pieces of home over here feels so good. My Nana sent us cookies she makes every year. I've eatten a TON of them, and I am so thankful to have that here. It makes me so happy when I get things in the mail from people I love. Maybe that's one of the reasons it's been easier for me to be here lately. All I know is, i'm happy. And it feels so nice to be content with being here finally.

On that note i'm gonna end this. Get ready for work, listen to the MArtina McBride Christmas Album, and come home and be with my scottypants. I think christmas just puts me in such a good mood. I'm enjoying it though! Fa la la la la, la la la la<3

Love, Kels.

Baking, Prague, and Organizing this thing called my house.

Reasoning for no blog posts recently is that i'm just plain overwhelmed. SO much to do, and no time to do it in. I still need to send packages, and send christmas cards. I'm just waiting on a couple of addresses. And my house is always a mess and i'm just behind on everything. So basically I feel like if I don't have time for that stuff, I don't have time for the computer. Anything I do related to the computer is on my phone while i'm either waiting for something or on my break at work. Life is getting to me!!! Wish I could just make it easy and be in California and give everyone their presents and cards in person. That would be much better. Oh well, I just gotta deal. I'm sure people will understand if it doesn't get to them by christmas. Not too worried about it.

On to more exciting news, it is highly likely that we are going to Prague and Amsterdam for about 5 days after christmas. Can't wait for that at all. That would be really nice and great to just get away from here for awhile and go explore other countries. I feel like I need out, and we're not going home until JULY. Too far away but Samantha and I talk about all the things that must be done while we're there visiting. It's fun to sit in fantasy land and think of all the fun things to do in California. One of the definite things we're doing is going to Disneyland for my birthday to watch fireworks. Miss that place, so it's a must. Anyone is welcome to go. My family and close friends will be there. But seriously, anybody who wants to go should go. The more the merrier. (:

So today I need to organize life by doing the month long pile of laundry, getting gifts and cards ready to send tomorrow, cleaning basically every room in this house, bathroom priority #1, and making something yummy for dinner. Pictures will be taken. Maybe i'll even have enough energy to post some tonight when everything is finished, perfected, organized, and complete. It WILL be accomplished today. I promise you that. I think a coffee is in order.

Oh yeah, and i've been a baking maniac lately. Probably why i'm so behind in everything else. I litteraly wake up, bake, go to work, come home, sleep. It's been on repeat for 3 days now. I've made peppermint candy cane cookies, sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, snowballs, magic bars, and lemon bars. Took a tray of a little of everything to work last night and it was ALL gone by the end of the night. Haha. I enjoy baking and plan to make something having to do with pumpkin and cream cheese next. And maybe a cake of some sort. Who knows. But i'll be sure to update you. Now it's time to get a move on and start this project called a house.

I miss having a Starbucks on every corner along with a forever21 in every mall, and I also miss how cheap it is to get your nails done in California. It's the little things you always forget to appreciate.

Love, Kels.

Pictures to explain my life as of late. Words some other day.
