A Celebrity-Styled Christmas Vacation

At 5:10 AM on Sunday morning, I heard my cell phone beep. Glancing at my iPhone 5, my heart skipped a beat. It was a text from Ryan.Good Morning, Beautiful.I just wanted to tell you that I love you and that my family and I will be there in 5 minutes.Love, Ryan Blushing, I replied back: I love you, too, Ryan Aaron Swiss! You are the best thing to ever happen to me. I will see you in 5!XOXO, Katie Suddenly overcome with giddiness and joy, I went over my checklist one last time. Whenever I go on trips, I always make sure to check my list a minimum of three times. Hey, it never hurts to check, double check, and even triple check things. This is especially true this time. Since I will be gone for a week in Denver, it is especially imperative that I did not forget to pack anything. Ten minutes later, the Swiss family and I made our way to Albuquerque International Sunport."Are you ready for the best Christmas vacation ever?" Ryan whispered into my hair, putting his arm around me.Leaning into him and placing my head on his shoulder, I smiled, "You have no idea."
