Christmas time is here... Happiness and cheer...

I figured even though I only have 3 followers... (sad, I know...)... that I should still post a new post! So voila! Here I am!

Its incredibly nice being done with the semester and finals... GROSS... only a week more of freedom then back to the books, oh well I spose... I do LOVE Utah! Being back in good ole' Ohio has been nice :) Dallin has actually been spending time with me and its been super nice! It's a rare thing... trust me... I've spent a lot of time with Grady... he's the coolest kid ever! SUPER annoying, but still cool :) we play a lot of Mario Kart... yeah... haha... anyways... Christmas was today! Or I guess yesterday, considering the fact its kinda super late now... Anyways, Grady insisted we got up at 7 am... so we did... Miranda, Dallin, Grady, and I all slept in the same room and Grady kept us up alllll night because he was too excited to sleep... ugh... LAME... then Miranda and Dallin snuck out at 3 am to sneak in the snowblower we got my dad... so that woke me up too... so present time! I got a GPS (I tend to get lost)... and a car adapter for my iPod... nice! Then just random cooking stuff... like a garlic press, a chopper, and a magic bullet! TIGHT! OH YEAH!!!! PURPLE BOOTS!!!!!!!! I <3 PURPLE! So it was cool :) I think I did really well with my families gifts this year... they all seemed super happy :) I played Super Mario Brothers on Wii with Grady! He's bad at it... we lost a lot... haha... then vegged out most the day... our family went and saw Avatar... and I'm not gonna lie... I enjoyed it :) very much so :) sooo yup! That was my Christmas!

Tomorrow I'm going shopping with my mom and Loubs (miranda)... should be fun! It's been nice being back... but I miss my independence. I've got a little over a week left... but I'm excited to get back to my life :) It's kinda exciting right now too! We shall see where this semester takes me! I've realized a lot lately how blessed I truly am! I need to live life to the fullest :)

My "Learning to dance in the rain moment" these past few days would have to be with my bro Dallin. Christmas Eve... He was being a snotty punk and being a jerk trying to get reactions out of the family... however, I realized that I knew there was nothing I could do to change it... so I ignored him... then he started taking pictures with us! When I started loving the situation I was in because I knew I couldnt change it... I became happy and circumstances changed :) :) :)

well thats it folks! I need to go to bed... and remember, DANCE IN THE RAIN!

My first blog!!!

Ok, so i'm just at work... chilling, then my dearest friend Jenny decided that we needed to make myself a blog :) and voila! here it is! I'm not really sure where to start, or what to say... but I love expressing how i'm feeling and cool epiphanies I have about life sometimes... <3 I figure this is a good place to start! and it'll be fun keeping my friends and family updated on my life! so...

I'm learning to Dance in the Rain <3 "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain ♥" ... one of my absolute favorite all time quotes! INCREDIBLE! life is hard... not gonna lie... when the storms roll in, we all at times just want to give up... dig a deep hole, crawl in it... and wait for the storm to pass. However, lately i've come to realize that I learn the most during the storm. Even though its hard, and it hurts, I dont want to hide in a hole waiting for it to pass. Life is more beautiful when we all learn to dance in the rain :) Even if it hurts to the point we dont want to go on or dont even know if we can, if we learn to dance in the rain... we'll all come out more beautiful than before :)

So be brave... crawl out of that hole... and please... PLEASE... try to learn to dance in the rain <3
