Just Say It.


For a recap of some events that have taken place, I'll start off by stating how weird it is to grow up. Learning new things at a faster pace, seeing and observing the people around you can be a challenge. This past month has been a whirlwind of opportunity and I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks to all of those who have helped me where I am today. Thanks for family who are my strong unit of trust and support. For my friends who make me cheerful and give me pushes of encouragement. Thanks for my peers who recognize me, and most of all thanks to my leaders and teachers who show me that there's more to life than iPods and So You Think You Can Dance. I owe so much to the people I meet. Just say it. Say thanks.

Just One of Those Days!

Today, it seems like it's one of those days where all you feel like doing is sitting watching Mulan and a Muppet Christmas Carol. With the piles of homework I have not due until the next 2 weeks, it seems like a perfect day to rest and to basically waste the last day of my very long break. Although, I've been semi productive by driving to the library, making my bed, starting a load of laundry and of course, updating you with this entry! My goals for the are as follows:
1. Finish the book Sense and Sensibility
2. Type up Current Events about China for Geography
3. Edit Captain Keller essay
4. Watch Mulan and Muppets
5. Make FOOD!
6. be as lazy as possible...

Well it seems that #1-5 make #6 impossible, but improbable? No bueno!

Black Friday


Usually people tell me that Black Friday's are insane and horrible. They are false. My mom and I decided to brace ourselves in the hustle and bustle of the new holiday season, by going to Sam's Club, Walmart and Cherry Lane Keepsakes-located across the street from the Provo City Library. Our spoils included an adorable purple print scarf, hanes v-necks, a white sweatshirt, and 2, not just 1, boxes of Original Peppermint CandyCanes. Yes the title deserves capital letters. All the places weren't super crowded, since we left around 12 noon. Oh the joys of the holiday season!

This picture is one of my favorites I took while up in Hobble Creek Canyon, with my father. A tribute to end of fall. Bring on the snow!

Lots of Eatin!

This Thanksgiving Holiday was really fun! Family sure make holiday's a lot more fun. I filled myself up till I felt like I weighed 300 lbs more than I do! I mainly stuck to my mashed potatoes and my sweet potato casserole. YUM! Tomorrow we are putting up our Christmas tree, since my family are leaving to Texas on Christmas Day. HALL OUT the HOLLY!
