Thanksgiving!!

Oh wow..well I have not posted in forever, it is because I have been out of town! I went house sitting someones house, that's right Carol and I were all by ourselves for a whole week. I felt so mature, making all of our own meals and cleaning up after them because I wanted to not just cause my mom told me to, doing a few loads of laundry and taking care of the dogs. Not to mention we watched the whole first two seasons of Vampire Diaries! I am obsessed with that show so much it is ridiculous! If I had to recommend a TV show it would either be that or Prison Break, I really don't watch a lot of TV but I have spent my fare amount of time watching those shows. 

Thanksgiving was a Joy, even though we were all the way out in Springville we did come home for that. My family went to Angie's house ( who is a partner at my mom's Firm). It was a lot of fun, at times it was a little awkward cause i didn't know anybody and we were the only ones who weren't family but they were supper nice :) It was one of my first Thanksgiving's not with Family. Let me just say I am so grateful for family, you have no idea how much they really mean to you until you don't have them around. Living so far away from any family has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do but it has just taught me that we need to treasure the time we have with them.

I have been trying to cook and clean more to help my mom out. Tonight I made Pad Tai and homemade Spring Rolls .... and oh my heck they were Delicious!

I am so excited for Christmas! I have to go to my dad's house which I am not excited about but other than that I ecstatic for feeling and spirit that this season brings. It seems like the last couple of months of the year are always so emotional for me, every little thing gets the water works going! I cant wait to curl up in blankets with long socks and watching movies and sipp hot drinks :) Doing service is always my favorite! We are going to dress up as elves and go around with Santa to peoples houses for YW's and I seriously cant wait! The only thing I cant stand is Christmas shopping, don't get my wrong i love to give gifts but trying to get the perfect one is killer! I have already started listening to Christmas music so I am super Pumped!

Here is a little of the Biebs to get those Christmas juices flowing! 

So for this next week my goals are keep my room clean..do ALL of my homework..and try to help make more of the meals! So Long for now!

Time to Slow Down

Today I stayed home and slept over 15 hours because I had a migraine and any light made me want to through up cause my head was going to explode! I only get migraines every couple months, but when I do get them...oh man...I might as well be dead. 

An exciting thing is we have two new additions to out family :)

BUNNIES!! Baby bunnies to be exact!

The one on the left who is a light grey color is mine and his name is Danny, and the one on the right is a really pretty orange color is Amie's and her name is Pumpkin or Kinny for short.

We have learned that they both have very strong personalities. Pumpkin is very adventures and likes to explore she will run in her box when you open her cage because she knows that when you hold her she wont be able to move very much. Danny on the other hand is super chill and wants to be held all the time, you can hold him like a baby and he will fall asleep. I never thought I would be a bunny person but they are so stinking cute. My mom on the other hand has NOT warmed up to them and is still not to sure about them. Scruffy, our dog like to run around with pumpkin and they play it is so adorable he just hasn't realized yet that he is a lot bigger than she is and he sometimes crushes her :(. 

Today when I went babysitting we watched The Swan Princess and oh my heck it has been forever since I have seen that movie, I forgot how cheesy little kids movies are, but I still love that movie. I hope when I have kids they will still appreciate the old classics. 

Country

My new obsession would have to be country and watching the music videos :) So to start off.....here are a few really good ones

Rodney Atkins "Watching you"

Scotty McCreery "The Trouble with girls"

Eli Young "Crazy girl"

Ha ha and what would life be without Taylor swift "Mine"

There is something about country that is way better than any other kind of music. I get made fun of all the time but I think you have to learn to love it and once you do you become totally addicted! I really don't listen to anything else unless I'm with friends. 

So Sadie's was this weekend and yes I did go but I don't really want to talk about it so all I'm going to say was that it was my first and most likely last date ha ha oh dear....it was something else..

On that note we are getting bunnies! ha ha that sounds crazy but we are pretty excited. My dad has bunnies at his house and they are fun but i never actually thought we would get them at my mom's house, but somehow she said yes..so if anyone has any cute bunny names that hit me up with some :) 

It was my mom's birthday and it was actually the day of Sadie's so we didn't do a whole lot but on Friday night i came home at 1 am and brought her an Orchid which happened to be the time she was born and I totally didn't plan on it! 

We are going to go to Tucanos later this week together so I  am really looking forward to that. Until next time. Peace!

Where do you get your inspiration?

Where to even begin.....I get so much inspiration that it is overwhelming! Well to begin I watched this Movie called Lifted and Oh my heck it makes me want to be a better person. Here is a little clip, but I highly recommend that you watch it. It is on Netflix right now just in case you were wondering :)

Also my Seminary Teacher. He is a fantastic man, I have learned so much from him it is insane and i wish i could be half the person he is! I have learned to love my scriptures with a greater passion.
My mom! She is so amazing and if you know her you know what I am talking about. She works so hard for all of us kids and provides for us all on her own. She has been the best example to me and my sibling. She works the hardest I have ever seen someone work, i love her to death!
My Friends, Iv seen several people go through trials and are even going through them right now. We all have our struggles but when you can except someone for who they are even though they are not perfect, there is nothing more powerful! 
Movies! Such as Lifted, I have never cryed so hard in a movie!
Mormon Messages if you ever spend time and watch one I promise you will go through the rest of your day feeling inspired and wanting to be a better person. 
There are many more but these are my main ones! The last couple months has been the best slash worst ever, lots of things I must over come in my life, not only learning how to get along with people I will have to for the rest of my life but helping others and watching them go through some of the same things. Today was just one of those days that I felt inspired to be a better person! :)

Halloween :)

This year was a blast! I was kinda worried because I had talked to my mom and she said I wasn't aloud to go trick or treating unless I took my little brother...I ended up going with a ton of the little kids from our neighborhood, Mary Kemp, Carol, and my Momma, it was a BLAST!

Carol and I..and also sleeping baby Lilly :)

I also didn't plan on dressing up this year, but I found this outfit and DI and I loved it! And guess what, we didn't spend more than $5 on it!! BONUS!!

Amie wanted to stay home and pass out the candy! She was a cowgirl :) SO CUTE!

So when we went trick or treating I didn't end up getting any candy but that was totally OK with me. I didn't really go trick or treating to get candy, I just wanted to go to go. I don't think you are ever to old to go. I just loved seeing all the people and seeing the kids get so excited over going from house to house and getting free candy! It was getting pretty late and we decided to go to Angie's House for Chili (She is a Partner at the Firm my mom works at)! We have done it the past couple of years and I love going and seeing her, and visiting with her and her husband. We didn't get back till super late so Carol and I really felt it the today during first period...Halloween Hang Over :(

This is my pumpkin :) :) my mom just laughed when she saw it! Yes, it is the air force logo...and I am in love with it! 

Today was super fantastic because I had an ortho appt.......and I get my braces off it 3 WEEKS :) Super Pumped! Anyways thats all untill next time :) heres a video to get excited for christmas....
