Phew. All the packing is done and I am ready to head up to Eagar for Christmas. Its so hard to pack for cold weather! I want to take all my fun scarfs that I never get to wear and there are so many shoes to pack. Huge sweaters and fluffy pajamas. Gifts and cookies. Movies and Books. Its all loaded into the car and ready to take off. I have to work today but hope to get off early so that I don't have to travel late in the bad weather. Tonight is the family Christmas party. I would hate to miss it! Its so fun to get together with all the cousins and go for our hay ride and progressive dinner. Stopping at houses along the way to carol. Its always great when we arrive at the next house for the next part of dinner to run inside and warm up a bit. This activity really puts me in the Christmas mood because the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. I love our family traditions and am so glad that everyone takes the time to plan them and keep them going. Its a special part of Christmas. Just like we keep these traditions going I am so grateful my parents have kept the tradition of Christ in our home. He was always present in our house and I have my parents to thank for that.
I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!!

Its been too long.
Well Well Well.
Life sure has been exciting lately. I have been on a rollercoaster and feel like I learn something new about life each day. Some of them I wish I didn't have to learn but hey, its all something new to put in this book of life. Maybe I will pull it out later and find it beneficial.
I had the opportunity of taking the missionary discussions with my good friend Elicia and her 2 little girls. It was such a great experience to watch her grow and make changes in her life. This is such a great thing for her and her 2 little girls. She is amazing and loves to learn new concepts of the gospel. It has been a great blessing for me to go through this with her. It has helped strengthen my testimony. Its also always good to learn the basics over again. I realize I have taken for granted how much I know about the plan of life and different aspects of the Gospel. The missionaries that we met with are just amazing! They are so sweet. Elder smith from California and Elder White from Jamaica.
Time to get started back into school! YEAH! I am excited to get started, only because I know it brings me closer to graduation. I really need to get it completed right now in my life before things get too crazy. I have changed my major to Human Services. I will take ground classes through the University of Phoenix. Its only one night a week and each class lasts for 5 weeks. I can last anything for 5 weeks right?! :) I recently finished my Associates in general studies so its only another 2 years to get things completed. Wish me luck!!!
This past weekend I had THE BEST time. My bestest friend in the whole wide world came to stay with me. Keara Greer. She left the husband behind and came down to the Valley to get a little Christmas shopping done. We shopped and shopped and shopped. It was fun to hang out and act silly like we used to.It made me forget about everything and just enjoy the moment. That doesn't happen much anymore so it was a nice switch-a-roo from the mundane. We had some good times in high school and I am glad we have been able to stay in contact through the years.
