WOW!! Update and more!!

Ok so I haven't been writing on here very much since I have been home, but now I will take the time to update!!
Christmas came and went, I had a great time at both family events and also had fun playing pool with some old friends on Christmas day!!
I spent an entire week at my aunt and uncle's cabin on Lake of the Woods. I went fishing and had a great time catching up on the lives of my childhood friends. I speared a Northern Pike which was a great story!! I was with Brian, my cousin and Joe his friend, and Ashley, my cousin Mike's fiance. SO the four of us went spearing, of course the guys were nice and let me and Ash sleep in and picked us up when they had the house set up. We sat around and drank beer while watching for a fish. Well a fish came to my hole and there I was with the spear, Joe was helping me, and I just kept stabbing at it like I was trying to spear a pickle in the pickle jar! Hahah I feel so special sometimes. Anyways that fish needed to be taken out. I was jabbing at it and it just stayed there and never swam away. So in all reality Joe really got the fish because he took the spear and actually let go of it so it could hit the fish. I still took a pic of it with me and Joe still says it was mine! HAha.
I also caught a bunch of walleyes while fishing and saugers. I had a lot of fun. Slept and missed New Years, but I woke up at about 12:15 and had a drink of champagne. Then my favorite aunt came up and we fished some more and drank a lot. All in all it was a very fun week.
This week I have been getting down to serious business. Wedding business that is!! I have gone to the craft store a few times and got some ideas. I pretty much know what I want now I just have to get crackin to get it done. Everything is lined up with the church, Ro and I have to do a marriage course on a DVD and fill out workbooks. Fun fun. I am working on my decorations right now. I think I have a pretty good idea set up I just have to add it all up and figure out what it will cost for all the tables and stuff. I have to figure out invitations and a few other things too. I can't wait to just have everything ready. I also tried on my wedding dress, well a wedding dress, but pretty much I absolutely LOVE it and will probably get it. It was quite an overwhelming experience! I have exactly 7 months til the wedding!!Ah man I can't wait. Now I can really get excited about it and since I plan on working right away when I get back to Chile I will once again have my hands full. There will be no time to be dpressed about being once again in Chile!
So far 2009 has been good! I can't wait to enjoy the rest of my time here in good ol Minnesota! And then get back into Chile to be with Rodrigo again! If all goes well we may actually be moving into an apartment!! Can't wait!! Peace out!
