It had been an insane year for Kennedy. From finishing up her novel to having to plan a wedding, her year had been in full swing. It was Christmas time again and the wedding preparations were being finalized since Kennedy and Greyson had a little under a month left until they got married.

Greyson was at work and Kennedy had some free time after her meeting with her publisher and before she had to meet up with Greyson, so she chose to grab a hot cocoa from the nearest stand and just stroll through the streets. As the sun finished setting, all of the Christmas lights on the lanes started to sparkle and shine as she let the cool air embrace her while she walked. She loved planning her wedding, but it was nice to have even just an hour to just be able to breathe. Kennedy was so excited to be able to marry Greyson, but with the holidays, getting her book published and trying to plan a wedding with just her and Greyson had been a lot.

Amongst her aimless walking, Kennedy had ended up at "Cuckoo Coffee" without even realizing it. This put a smile on her face as she let out a soft chuckle. She hadn't even been trying to go anywhere, but this is where she ended up. Memories and thought of Greyson flooded her heart and her mind and all the stress and worry just melted away as Greyson's smile and emerald eyes took over her mind.

Kennedy adjusted her coat and continued walking thinking about how much she loved Greyson and how excited she was to be marrying him in just a few weeks. Both of their families were coming into town the week before the wedding and she was looking forward to seeing them all, especially her mom. She even had her best friend coming in as well to be her maid of honor. This was going to be the first time that Jess got to meet Greyson in person and Kennedy couldn't wait.

While she was walking down the street, the snow started to lightly fall around her and she was reminded of that first day when she got her hot cocoa spilled by a boy with coffee-colored hair and emerald green eyes. Kennedy couldn't believe it had already been two years since she had met Greyson and a year since they had gotten engaged. Since Christmas was so special to them, they wanted a Christmas wedding and that was all Kennedy had ever wanted.

As she rounded the corner to her flat, she saw some coffee colored hair rustling in the wind. As she got closer to her steps, Greyson stood up and walked down to meet her. He kissed her and took her hand as they walked back up the steps to her flat and she unlocked the door. It was Greyson's night to cook for the two of them and after a delicious Italian dinner and some time to just relax and spend together, they ended their night snuggled up on the couch with hot cocoa and a Christmas Hallmark movie.

When the movie ended and Greyson was about to leave to head back to his flat, he looked up at the top of the door frame and saw some mistletoe hanging there. Kennedy followed his gaze upward and then back down to meet his eyes. "I guess we should stick with the tradition of the mistletoe huh," Greyson said with a slight smirk on his face. Kennedy couldn't help but laugh as she pulled him in for a kiss. "I love you." She said. "I love you too." He said as they parted ways for the night.

Kennedy went up to her room and as she crawled into bed, she let the joy of her upcoming wedding and the beauty of the snow softly falling outside lull her into a restful sleep.

Stay tuned next week to see what happens as Kennedy and Greyson finalize the preparations for their Christmas wedding!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
