better late than never!

so i haven't posted in forever and i need to do a serious update! life just got totally crazy! so i think my last post was the beginning of november so i have about two whole months to cover! i can't cover it all but here is a short list. better late than never!

1. on november 12 one of my bestest friends turned 20! happy birthday jessica i love you tons!

2. on november 21 my sister karissa turned 18! happy birthday! she is an awesome sister and is always keeping me laughing! i love you kiss!

3. happy thanksgiving! thanksgiving was kind of weird this year because we didn't go anywhere but it was still great. i am so thankful for so many things! i am so blessed!

4. i survived my finals and finally finished the semester! this semester kicked my trash but i survived! (word to the wise never take 4 history classes plus economics in one semester, you will never finish your reading and die trying!) unfortunately i got my first b this semester :( 2 a's, 1 a-, and 2 b+'s. i guess i will have to kiss my perfect record goodbye. oh well, its not too bad. next semester will be better! (fyi i am really excited for next semester becuase i get to start the education program! yay!) i am so happy for winter break!

5. on dec 15th i performed in the mesa christian dance performace and on the 18th we performed at the temple. the performances went really well. i'm not going to lie, i was a little worried because we weren't as ready as we usually are, but everything turned out. i love being able to share my testimony through dance. it is the most amazing experience! despite all of the headache of getting everything choreographed, taught, and looking good, it is well worth it!

6. on december 22 i turned 20! i find it really weird saying i am 20. time really does just fly by! don't worry though i am still the same weird kid i have always been!

7. i had my last day of physical therapy! (well at least for now.) good news: they got better with the therapy and the taping! :)bad news: my therapist said that i will have to do it for the rest of my life because as soon as i stop they wil just go back and get worse. :) now i have to decide if i want surgery or not. i got back to the doc this week so we will see what he says. who needs a knee anyway? hahaha!

8. merry christmas! i love the chistmas season! everything about it just makes me happy. i love being able to spend time with family and friends. i love my family christmas traditions! my favorite is christmas eve. we always sing the 12 days of christmas song and do these crazy actions and dance moves. it is silly and funny and i love it! another favorite tradition is going over to my aunt and uncle's house after thier party is over and eating their leftovers. it great! my family is crazy and i love it! i hope y'all had a very merry christmas!

9. i went to disneyland this past weekend with kason and his sister + family. it was a great trip and so much fun! despite the huge crowd it was great. our favorite ride was the buzz lightyear astro blaster! we are now space scouts and will forever protect the galexy from the evil emperor zurg! disneyland was seriously awesome!

10. last sunday graham proposed to jessica and they are engaged! becky, afton, ashley, and i were behind the opperation and got it all on tape. he proposed at the airport just past security. it was so cute! they are so cute and so happy and i am so happy for them! congradulations jessica! i love you tons! i am going to miss you when you move to witchita, but i am still so happy for you! congrats! love ya!

there is morei could blog about, but a list of 10 is sufficient. sorry for my long absense from the blogging world but don't worry i'm back!
