Christmas.

This year was my first Christmas away from home and let's just say it was very different. Yes I had my two lovely sisters Toni and Chelsea to spend it with, we had a fun filled Christmas Eve night of stuffing ourselves to the rim, over indulging, eating till we cried out of pain of Chinese take-out, watching movie, after movie, after movie. Christmas day we skyped with rest of the family back home in Ohio and then opened our gifts while eating a tasty breakfast and watching 'Disney's A Christmas Carol'. Later that day we made cookies and did a little mattress jumping. Chelsea left to go back to Provo that evening and Toni and I left our mattresses in the front room and spent 2 more nights in there. We were pretty lazy a couple days after Christmas. But really who isn't? I mean I think it's completely normal to eat junk food when your stomach is still in pain from a few a nights before and not showering for 3 days is not that big of a deal. So I'd say this Christmas was way fun but it still wasn't the same compared to the last 20 or so other Christmases that I've had. I hope that next year I'll be able to spend it with my entire family.



Thank you Toni for coming up with this oh so very AWESOME idea to run and jump in mid air onto the mattresses. My life would be boring with out ya. I love you!

Thank you Chelsea for driving up to Logan, I know you hate it here! Ha I love you! Oh and thanks for the oh so very chewy, gooey, wonderful caramels and cute glass jar.

Every year our family draws names and we get something for that sibling. This year Tiffany had me and she asked me what I wanted so I sent her a long list of things with pictures and where she could find it, she picked a few things and let me just say that what she got me was the best Christmas present to date! I love what she got me!

Down below is a picture of what she gave me. The pearl bracelet, ring, brown satchel, and black studded wallet in the last picture.







Thank you Tiffany! I love and miss you tons!

I've always been into photography, I love looking at and taking pictures. It's crazy how one picture can tell a story and how it can make you feel. So much can be said and done with on shot. After high school I went to a community college and I took a photography class. It was such a neat class, my favorite part about it was probably the fact that we got to develop our own film in the dark room. The other day I was just going through my binder with all my photos that I developed for each assignment in the class. I found two that I loved so I framed them and hung them on the wall in my room.




I've decided to try and get back into photography. I really like using my 35 mm camera. I've forgot how to use the settings and all the cool stuff I can do with it but I'm going to teach myself and get better at it. I think I need to find a hobby and photography as always been something I liked so why not?

my new obsession.

Okay actually it's not a new obsession, it's an old one. And it's not really an obsession it's more of a..I don't really know what it would be, but I've always wanted a pair of chopsticks and I finally have some! I think what makes my awesome pair of chopsticks even more awesome is the fact that they have their own little case. that's right. I was so excited that I got my first real pair of chopsticks that I wanted to use them tonight and I really wanted some strawberries so I ate my strawberries with my awesome chopsticks. don't judge.

the weekend.

This weekend has been so much fun! Kristina came down from Idaho Thursday and stayed for the weekend. We made a pretty sweet video.





Then Toni, Kristina, and I all went down to Centerville and while they visited my aunt I went to the JUSTIN BIEBER Concert with Crystal! Now some may think I'm odd for going to his concert but it was so amazing. He's so cute! Oh don't worry I turned into one of those screaming little 10 year girls. I fit right in.







After the concert everyone met up at Crystal's house and we just hung out and we shared the wonderful pictures and videos from the concert with Toni, Kristina, and Amanda. While sitting around and talking, Crystal busted out this super low voice. After hours of laughter we all fell asleep and then we went to church with Crystal's family the next morning.





After church Toni, Kristina, and I drove the long hour and 15 minutes home. I had to work that night which really sucked, it was so busy! But made for good tip money. When I got home from work we all watched the movie House Bunny. Then stayed up til 5 in the morning editing the music video. Around 3 A.M. we needed a break so where when you need a break from making an amazing music video? Burger King of course.







Waking up many hours later we just sat around and did nothing then finally decided to go see the movie Despicable Me and get a bunch of food and have a dance party. So we did. Although we were all too tired to dance so it didn't last that long and plus it was way hot in our apartment so we went in our backyard and just laid on the grass and chilled. Before the movie Kristina and I attempted to take some artsy looking photos. Hers turned out much better than mine.











The next morning Toni and I went over to Kristen and Jamie's apartment and had a wonderful lunch filled with laughter and good conversation. Those two girls are so funny! After that Kristina left and went back home to Idaho. After her visit and after hanging out with Crystal and Amanda it has made me so excited for the Fall, because they'll all be up here and they won't be living too far from me. I can't wait!
