What I Imagined Break to be Like

Here's what I thought my break with him would be like:

• Christmas in the Park in San Jose
• Help decorate the Christmas tree and house (because he didn't cut the tree with us)
  
• Christmas dinner with my family, enjoying yummy food
  
• Opening presents with the family, him being able to celebrate Christmas with us
• Exchange Christmas presents
• Find mistletoe, and kiss under it
  
• Watch movies with my dad
• Tahoe with his family- seeing his reaction to snow, and going on my first "road trip" without parental supervision, getting to know his cousins more
• Bake, but more specifically, I really wanted to make gingerbread men, and sugar cookies with cookie cutters... and decorate them
  
• Make gingerbread houses, or more specifically graham cracker because they taste better and he doesn't like gingerbread
• Have him over for dinner as usual
  
• Drink hot chocolate with whipped cream and holiday sprinkles
• Pick out new glasses frames
  
• Visit that area that has all the Christmas lights- walk through it holding hands and drinking hot apple cider
• Visit Michael's to get thread & make friendship bracelets
• Spend New Year's with him, watch the countdown together with apple cider, and kiss when it hit midnight
• Cuddle while watching movies and TV in both his room & my family room
  
• Watching theater movies while holding hands, and just hold hands in general
  
• Play with Flip Flop, and end up triple spooning a lot
  
• Get dressed up and use the tickets that are still a surprise to him
• If it's not too cold, go on on of the Jen Drive dates I was planning
  
• Visit San Jose, hang out with our own friends, then end up going to the Drive-In
• Shop shop shop shop shop because I always need new clothes
  
• Sit/lay in his bed and watch him play his video games while I probably read or something
• Go out to Denny's, and finally order something from their dessert menu
• If the weather was warm enough, finally use the petal boats- long overdue
  
• Drive him around and be driven around and listen to music in the car
  

The list goes on and on, and it doesn't help that I keep thinking of new things to do.

The semester was so busy, all I wanted to do over break was catch up and be able to spend time with him. I'm not going to lie, these thoughts helped me get through the end of the semester... what sucks is even if I still do these things with him, they won't be the same, and we both know it.
