My Christmas was nice. I got to talk to my cousin Holly. (she lives in Hawaii.- so jealous. She has a one year old daughter named Maile and she is now 4 months pregnant. she doe's not know if its a boy or a girl yet.)

For dinner we had Prime Rib. Yummmy. It is really rich though. I found out that i liked it but there were so many rich flavors for dinner that i kinda had an upset stomach. : ( But it was all good.

The snow we have been having is crazy to drive in. Yesterday we went over to my aunt and uncles house to surprise them...and its only like 10-15 minutes away. Were lucky we had a 4 wheel drive(we were borrowing a friends car while he was gone away on a trip for a long time). Even having a 4 wheel drive its treacherous out there.

I am just chillin out upstairs while my brother and his friend have their "JAM SESSION". oh my gosh they are so loud.
Banging drums + Electric guitar + Huge Amp + no soundproof room= Me wishing i had ear plugs. So i am in the bonus room typing this blog and listening to all the new music i received from Christmas.

Love ya!

Future ideas and Christmas is almost here

So i don't know what got me thinking of this, But when i catch up with my future (which i think is impossible.) This would be my "ideal life"

The Perfect Home consists of the following:

~Living in a warm climate
~Balcony
~Walk-in (BIG) closet
~Bedroom with my own bathroom
~Fireplace in room
~Warm colors and sayings in every room
~2 story house
~Piano

And another idea i had is when i have kids i will start their college fund when their really young and so when they get older their college could be paid for. : ) And i would not have to worry about borrowing money(loan) ect.

Anyways- thats it for now.

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS TIME:


CHRISTMAS EVE- 1 DAY

CHRISTMAS DAY- 2 DAYS

YAY!

S-N-O-W!!!!!!!!!

it snowed this weekend. The new caster people are calling it a "Arctic Blast" temperatures have not been above freezing for a couple days. In the mornings when i go to school it has been 19 degrees Fahrenheit. BURRRRRR!
So on the news one night (Monday) they said VANSD (my school district) was closed. And everyone was SO EXCITED, but it turns out it was a mishap and school was OPEN on monday.

Tomorrow this has been the conclusion of most students is that we will go to school tomorrow but it will be a 2 hour early release!! YAY, and they will let us go home before the weather conditions get bad. and Thurs and Fri. school might be closed because the news predicted like 2-4 inches of SNOW!
That means we will have a early Christmas break!

Old Christmas traditions: We would make cookies for Santa and then my brother and i would both write him a note. I always asked for a picture of Rudolph (the red nose reindeer)and then my mom would cut veggies and we would toss them out in our back yard and in the morning they would be gone, because the reindeer ate them. : )

Christmas is like the best time of year. Its just magical. Idk how to explain it, its different to every person.

well thats all for now. ttyl.
