So I just have to say that I am BEYOND ecstatic for New Years this year! FI wasn't able to come home for Thanksgiving and won't be able to for Christmas either, so this year the holidays just aren't the same. I set him a box filled with 7 pounds of homemade Christmas cookies. Yes, 7 pounds. That's what the scale at the post office said.
Anyway.....since he can't come home for the holidays, I'm bringing the holidays to him! I'm flying out December 30th =] I know this is still a pretty decent price for this time of year, but let me tell you, the $450 plane ticket will be well worth it. We've been living long distance for 3 out of the 4 years we've been together, and this year I finally get my first New Years kiss in 3 years. Merry Christmas and happy new year to me =]
