It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

Well, a lot has happened since we last wrote. Nicholas and I both finished our first semester of graduate school.  And then we got all of our grades.  That's right, Molly, ALL OF THEM!

Sad Molly.  Cry, cry.

After classes were over Dad came to visit us here in the Cleve.  We wanted to show him all of the exciting things that Cleveland has to offer.

Footage not found

When it turned out that there was nothing exciting to see in Cleveland, we took Dad to see the house from A Christmas Story.  Dad clearly enjoyed it and at no point tried to threaten us with a prop razor from the bathroom in order to make an escape.

Dad not threatening us.  Maniacal laugh! Maniacal laugh!

 While we were at the house we got to meet the man who played Randy in the movie!

Child Star

Adult nobody

Can you still call it a "star-sighting" if the person is skulking around and begging you to take a picture with them?  It's sounds corny, but it was actually a fun way to kick off the holiday season...with joy, good cheer, and family.  And not once did we lose sight of what the holiday season is really about:

       PRESENTS!!!!










As you can see, I got the Hunger Games trilogy from Santa.  I read them all over break, much to the chagrin of anyone who was planning on actually talking to me during break.  I'm so glad that I finally got to read them.  Since Nicholas hasn't finished reading the last book, I won't say anything else about it...just that in the end it's all really just a dream that the protagonist is having. 
Let's see, let's see...we got to spend some time with everyone in New Brighton and finally go home to Philadelphia. 
But I think that's really everything important that happened over break.  Nicholas is telling me that I'm forgetting the most important thing...but I mentioned the Hunger Games!

Oh yeah, we also got engaged.
