december 2010

| | |
it's december.
time, where have you gone?
i haven't updated this is quite some time.
really i don't think many people even read it, so it's not that big of a deal.

Dacy came down this last month...me, her, and mom enjoyed a ladies' outing...
great speakers.
great weekend.
i felt inspired.

thanksgiving came and went.
nothing too noticeable.
mom was in mexico with the abuelos.
dad and i went to the cheesman's.
maybe i'm a t-day scrooge, but thanksgiving is just another meal to me.
it's nice to be with family, but i guess since no one lives close and family is all spread around,
it doesn't happen like it used to.

i'm excited for CHRISTMAS!
family WILL be in town for that.
in fact.
everyone!
cinnamon.
dacy.
tamaron.
paul.
ryan.
cory.
skylee.
brighton.
briya.
quinlan.
max.
zia.
mom.
dad.
me.
:)
that's what makes a holiday to me.
and especially after a family deprived Christmas the last two years.
i cannot wait
.

12.12.2010
it's getting cold in the south.
today is this winter's first snowfall!
just flurries.
does that even count?
i say yes.

and...also...i can't go that far and NOT visit Hogwarts...

needless to say...this coming weekend has me waiting very anxiously.


other news:
with december comes friends.
and i'm happy to say that the holidays have brought some dear ones back to me.

nate.
mellow mushroom.
brocolli pizza.
good company.
good memories.
after over 2 years...more to come!

i made him a recycled magazine bowl.
he's an earth child.
glad to have him home.
sorry...no updated fotos...we've changed a bit over the years.
soon.
we enjoyed a lovely day around Atlanta and at the Fernbank Museum this week.
the Colorado River and Grand Canyon on IMAX.
it was lovely.


oh...
my car.
it died.

the engine blew it's main gasket.
BAD TIME.
i, as well as every car around me, was engulfed in a white cloud.
unfortunately the car wasn't worth paying $3500 to rebuild the motor.
so i'm saving up to be able to purchase a car by the time kevin's here and i head out west.

speaking of.
i miss that boy.

his application to BYU is done.
all he lacks is taking an english test this week.
i wish he'd get here sooner.
that way we can pick a date and start planning the wedding already.
why did i have to fall in love with someone who lives in Colombia?!
the Lord is definitely teaching us both patience.
and faith.
we're still not sure who will be his sponsor for BYU.
dad says i need to have more faith.
i know it will all work out...
just not quite sure how yet.
faith.
yes.
anyway,
i miss him.


***HAPPY HOLIDAYS!***
oh...and i won at Bunco night this month!
haha..go me.

Whitney I'm glad you update because I read and follow it!! I second you on thanksgiving-kinda a pointless holiday..seems like more work than really worth it. But these are just my opinions haha.

Your photos look REAL good. You are such a good photographer. So so talented. One day I would like you to take pics of mike and I..please? That's super excited about going to Orlando. Have fun? Have you seen the new Harry potter movie? I thought it was real good.

I am sad I won't see you this Xmas. I miss you!!! Yay for family tho. I am glad you will be surrounded with l-o-v-e. I hope kevin's test goes well. I pray for you! !!! Love you!!
