Good Stuff :)

This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!

I went to the Christmas Carol: Sing-a-long tonight and then to Temple Square! I went to Temple Square last night with different friends (see picture above), and it POURED! But it was still fun :) Tonight, they had violins playing and we sang a lot with the Lyrics on the big screen and then JON SCHMIDT came out!!! Yup that's right. I got to see him play tonight, FOR FREE!!!! I heard him play some Christmas songs, he played upside down and then Love Story Meets Viva La Vida! :) It was amazing! Big Budah was there and it was just a lot of fun! :)

(That is Jon Schmidt & someone else playing the violin (above))

Then we went to Temple Square to see the lights, and there was a ton of people there, but it was still fun. It even started to snow :)

So now onto the news of why this week is going to be epic!! First off, our internet works again! It wasn't working on Wednesday and just barely started working again today! So now when my parents go to work, and my sister goes to school, I'll have something to keep me entertained! Also, I get to deliver my Christmas gifts to friends this week! I get to be with friends this week! Tonight I'm going to see a Christmas Carrol at the Hale Center Theatre. I'm really excited, and I hope I enjoy myself. The last time I was there was with Andy... I'm sure memories will come flooding back, I may get a little overwhelmed and just close my eyes and just wish he was still here with me, and just remember how fun it was seeing the play we saw, and spending that time with him :) Then Friday is Christmas Eve and my Aunt, Uncle, Cousin and Cousin-in-law are all coming over to join our Christmas Eve dinner and then we're opening some gifts together! My sister and brother-in-law are staying over that night, so I'm totally stoked about that! Then Christmas day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah, I can't even begin to explain to you how amazing this day will be. I'm so excited to be with my family again in the morning and share the happiness in giving each other gifts. I'll be getting an email from Brady that day. Member when he sent that last email saying he's sending some that'll come in the future!? Yup, that's SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see what is written in this one. AND he'll be in the field today so he'll prolly be CALLING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my word. I'll be close enough to that I could drive to his families house. Oh boy I hope he calls and they let me come say hi to him. Even if I do have a recording inside my build-a-bear, and a video of him, I'm sure a phone call will be the best thing ever!! Want to know something else cool? On Sunday, I can officially say, "One more Christmas and he'll be home!" ;) and then in January I'll be able to say, "He's coming home next year!" Hahaha silly I know, but it's awesome :) I'm so excited to start hearing about how he's doing with his teaching and stuff. I'm excited to get letters. I'm so proud of him. I know he's only been out maybe 3 weeks, but I still feel like it's been forever. But a good forever. I can finish what I need to, while he serves the Lord where he needs to. I know he'll be back one day; I know he isn't gone forever.. just temporarily. :) I'm sending his package this week, and I hope he likes what I'm sending him! Ah, anyway, I just love Brady.

I saw the movie Tangled and it was so cute. I would see it again 4382947328437284037483204832 more times!!!! I went with my mother and sister. It was so good to spend time with them :) Also, I passed my math final. Like, with flying colors. I don't think I could've been so happy. I also passed my Psychology final. What the!? I couldn't pass the AP class but I passed the one I take when I'm actually in college!? Doesn't make sense, but either way I'm glad. One class is missing (well two but I know I got an A in one) and so technically I have a 3.1 GPA right now, but it'll go up by the end of this week! :) Yahooooooo!

Also, I wanted to share this picture.

This picture stood out to me when I came across it. Especially with me having to decide where to attend college next. I can use this in my everyday life and it's just a reminder that I need to.
Anyway, have a great Christmas week everyone :)
