New Years 2009

Whats the best way to ring in the News Years if you can't be in Vegas? I would say hanging with friends. That's exactly what I am doing, hanging here at the house watching the TV with Raina, Jay, Scotty, and Emily. We are going to watch the ball drop in New York- someday i would like to go to New York and see it live.

Christmas 2008

For Christmas I went home to hang out with Mom and Dad in Blanding. It was great to drive down with JB, the drive is so long but when you are with someone else time flies by so fast. Brad, Megan, & Kaven were there and it was great to watch Kaven open his Christmas presents. All he cared about was the box and the wrapping paper. Me and JB drove down the day before Christmas- thank goodness for that because it snowed all night long and the following day. The next day we watch Brad and Megan unwrap their presents to get on the road, then the rest of us at breakfast then finished unwrapping presents. The next day we went and played on the snowmobiling machines: I only lasted 5 min then I got on the four wheelers and enjoyed that a lot more. Check out my pics.

Christmas Time

I love the month of December not only because its my birthday, but because it rejuvenates my spirit and boosts my energy. This month builds me up to give service through out the whole year. I enjoy spending time with family and loved ones, and even great to spend time with friends. I love looking for the just the right gift, and then seeing their face as they open the present. Its just a joy to buy things for others, knowing that you are giving them such a simple joy. There are so many things that I love about Christmas, spending time with my dogs, and watching Christmas movies with my roommates. AH! Christmas is so good for the spirit! I love the Christmas caroling, decorating the tree and house with lights, and putting my my Christmas village. I love the giving spirit that comes with this month, but most of all I love that we celebrate the Savior's birthday. Its good for the soul to remember our Savior and to try to be like him. If you are not in the Christmas mood, do something for someone else and soon your mood with change.
