Christmas Ebe-that's korean slang for Eve

Okay, okay I know it's been a while AGAIN... I need to be better about writing more often. Waiting to write, makes the blogs longer and there's more pressure for them to be awesome because there's sooo much hype on them - okay, not really. lol I did tell Scott that he would need to contribute his say and write a blog every now and then.

DECEBMER, what an interesting month. I finally finished my first semester of school and I did decent. A 3.5 GPA which may sound really good but that's at a local community college, I feel as though I can do better next semester.

Perhaps the most exciting news is Scott's new job. For those of you who I don't talk to on a frequent basis weren't aware of this but as of December 19th, Scott's whole team at Microsoft was laid off. We knew about this about two months ago but I didn't want to blog about it because it just wasn't something that we felt necessary to share with the world. BUT now that Scott has a new job, it's okay. :-) He will be basically doing the same thing but for a Microsoft partner that's based in Houston. Luckily we won't have to move to Houston ( no offense mom ). Scott doesn't start working until January 2nd so we've been enjoying our little break together...in other words we've been kind of lethargic together. hehe

We have also started going to church, St. Michael Catholic Church. It took a little work/nagging to get Scott to go the first Sunday but after that he actually looked forward to it. I wasn't raised catholic, so this is pretty new to me. I grew up going to non-denominational churches and Korean church. Mass is very different from what I am used to. I have lots of questions, and not knowing certain things makes me feel lost. Nonetheless, I do enjoy it and feel comfortable attending and hopefully overtime I will have a better understanding on everything.

As far as Wedding plans go. We really haven't done too much. Scott wanted to hold off on wedding talk until he had a job secured. I do have a plan for our invitations and other little details. We also will be moving the wedding to the Summer of 2010. My friend Natalie/maid of honor kind of booked the day I was planning. I don't really want our wedding too close to hers so we decided to push it back some. It's probably better this way because the weather will be nicer and I won't have to worry about it interfering with school. Oh, and since I'm on the subject, I found something very cool. My ring looks exactly like a ring Tiffany & Co. (jewelry store) carries. With the exception of a carat, and I think mine sits a little higher, they look identical.

Sorry the picture is really big.

Scott and I originally planned on being in Ohio with his family but because of the recent shift in careers, we decided it would be best to wait. Since we will be celebrating Christmas with each other, we decided to celebrate Christmas our own way, mixing our traditions together. I finally caved in and spent most of today making Scott's mom's cookies. He made me feel bad because he gets his mom's cookies every year and wouldn't be this year. He also mentioned his ex was given the actual dough before and never made them for him. So of course I had to make them. I do have a lot more respect for his mom; making these cookies is a lot of work. I also made a Scott and Sabrina cookie. I used a gingerbread cookie cutter and just rolled Scott out to be taller and rolled his head out a little more. Lol he didn't find that to be funny. ;-) I need to get some more pastry bags and tips because my tools were a chopstick, one tip, a freezer zip lock bag, and a spatula. I used the bag and tip for the green frosting and didn't feel like changing the colors out to reuse it. I'm pretty pooped now. Tomorrow we plan on opening presents (yay) go to the movies, and for dinner I'm making Korean food. :-) I'm slowly trying to introduce Korean food to Scott. He is actually taking a liking to most of it.
