The Fun Continues

Well the fun times just keep coming, and I am loving it! This week we got a break from school and was able to find a chance to go sleding. It was a blast. We got a few people and went up Fairview Canyon! We had to climb this huge hill in order to go down, but it was worth it in the end. We got lucky enough on the 2nd go round to have some snowmobilers stop and give us a ride to the top! After that I went to Richfield with two of my friends Jessica Brown and Kenzie! They took me to tree burning. I guess is something they do in Richfield sometime after Christmas to burn their trees. It was new for me, but it was pretty fun. Thanks for taking me! I stayed the night, and headed home the next day. On my way home, I stopped at my intermural bowling game. Lets just say I WON! I don't like to lose, and I was so excited that I won! I even get a T-shirt next week for getting the highest score! I'm pretty excited about it, if you can't tell! Don't worry in the middle of all this fun, I am still getting my homework done. In fact I have to teach my math class on Wed. and I am so so so nervous! So wish me luck!!! On the way up to sleding

2008 and start of 2009

Well I have been busy trying to get a good start to my 2009, that I haven't had time to sit down and blog about the things I have done, and things that I have been thinking about.
I have been thinking a lot about 2008 and all the memories I have had. The other day I sat down at the computer almost all day long, and made a movie with the pictures of my 2008. It was kinda hard to get through. I realized I had some really good times, that I never want to forget. I now have the cutest Nephew. I am able to have all my brothers living close to me. I graduated from Snow College with my associates degree, and while there become close to some of the greatest friends that I have ever had. I also feel that I have became closer to my parents and all my family. I love having my nieces and nephew around. I love them so much. There are so many things in 2008 that I will probably never forget. I also had a time in 2008 when I thought nothing was ever going to go right again. Within a month. I had a really good friend from my childhood die, Steven left on a mission, My dog that I had for about 15 years died, my horse got sold, I had been in 2 cars when they were crashed (one of them being mine), and other things. But I feel that I have become stronger because of these experiences. Around this time I got a tile with a saying on, that I kind of live by now. It says... " Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the Rain." I realized that I had been waiting for the Storm to pass, so now I have been trying to dance in the rain. Anyways, 2008 was a good year and it will be missed, but I am really looking forward to what 2009 has to offer. I have already got off to a good start.

New Years Eve

New years Eve was a blast this year. I started off the day going to lunch at Rodger's with my mom, Elanie and Cali Anderson. It was soo good, I love Chicken salads. Then after that I headed up to Provo to hang out with some friends. (Sorry Jess, I posted some of the same pictures) We started off by hanging out at the house and talking, then headed to eat at Los Hermanos. It was way good. We then went Bowling. I love bowling, so of course that was a good time. We also got a cake and apple cider to welcome in the New Year. After playing games at the apartment, we tried to watch a movie, but all fell asleep, but it was a fun way to welcome in the New Year! I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!!! Me and Jessica Starr

Christmas Fun and Happy Birthday Dad

I had kind of a bad start to my Christmas morning. Instead of waking up at 5 a.m because of excitment, I woke up because my tonsils were bleeding. I never expected that, and it was quite a bit of blood that I was spitting up. I didn't know what was going on, so I was pretty scared. Then my mom read a paper from the doctor that said bleeding was common around the 7th day. So after we got it cleaned up we headed back to bed, before seeing what Santa had left for us. Around 8 we woke back up and went to see what Santa had left for Shaelynn and Paeton. This was the first year we got to see them when they first saw their presents. It was fun to be there with them. Next we headed over to Chester to see what Santa left there. It is fun to see the kids get excited over their new toys. It is tradition for my Grandma to come over and be with us to watch us open presents. This year we were a little late getting to our presents, that she was beginning to think we had forgotten about Christmas. But finally we made it back to see what Santa left under our Christmas Tree. Santa was good to us all this year. I loved the presents, and being able to spend time with family. That is always my favorite part, is being able to have all of my family together. Me and Trevor were kind of dead heads because we weren't feeling good, but it still turned out to be a nice Christmas.

Last of all I just want to say Happy Birthday to my dad. We won't mention the age, but we always get to celebrate his birthday along with the birth of the Savior. I hope he had a good birthday this year. I just want to tell him how much I love him, and am grateful for all that he does for me. I can't thank him enough for our friendship, and the blessings he brings into our home. My mom may not think so, but when me and my dad get together, we can be pretty funny. I'm grateful that he holds the preisthood, and will give me father's blessings. I don't think I would have made it through this week without that blessing, and I'm very thankful for that. I love you Dad! I hope you had a good birthday!

6 months

I have been out of it for a couple of days since I had my surgery so I haven't been able to post anything. But I wanted to make a note that Steven has officially been gone for 6 months now! Wahoo! Only 18 more to go! I Just thought I would share a couple of pictures of some of our fun times.

Christmas Caroling

Last night we went Christmas Caroling. It was lots of fun. Jed Bailey hooked up his horses and wagon, and we all went for a ride. For the first little bit, we just enjoyed the ride and listened to music on the stereo. Then Tammy decided it was time to sing. It turned out to be really fun. Katy was thinking we were on Cinderella's carriage, and it was taking us to the ball. It was good just to get together with everyone. It had been a long time since I had been Caroling. The Horses and Wagon just added to the fun. After the Caroling we all came back to our house and had soup and cookies. It was a really fun night. Mom and Heidi
