Check Check Finals are DONE!!

The semester is finally over and I couldn't be more excited!! It has been a rough semester I am not going to lie, but I survived!! Finals were very stressful, and I am just jumping for joy that I passed my classes. I just got my grades back. I got an A in math, and an A- in Anatomy. I am pretty proud of myself. Now I just have to finish my online class, and then I get to finally apply for Nursing school. I feel like I am finally getting somewhere, and my goal is in reach. Applications are due in May. I am applying for MATC LPN program and then plan on finishing my RN at UVU or SLCC. I couldn't be more excited to be a nurse. I love working in the medical field right now, and look forward to being able to progress, and learn new things. I still have a long ways to go, but everyday I am getting closer and closer!!

Christmas Party

On Friday me and Linds went to a Christmas party that our friends Jordan Gray and Jordan Houghton put on. We were told to wear a Christmas Sweater. Luckily Cathy had hung onto some of her old ones so we were set. We ate dinner, did white elephant gifts, sang some songs ha, had an ugly sweater contest which linds took 5th place, and then just hung out! It was seriously a blast. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. It was great to see friends from high school again, and catch up with everyone. I have to admit that our sweaters look pretty darn good! Me and Linds decided that we are going to wear them everyday. One because they are super cute ha, two because they are so comfy, and three because they are so festive!

This is the whole crew who was at the party!

All of the girls!!

Okay so I have to share a little story with you about my and Linds white elephant gifts ha ha! You better run to the bathroom quick cuz this is hilarious!!..... So to begin let's just say our gift totally dominated everyone ha! So the instructions that we got was to spend $10 on the gift. So me and Linds decided that we were going to get $10 worth of gold fish. Pretty sweet eh! Well we get to the store, and we both think it would be hilarious to get a hamster. So we ask the lady what the cheapest hamster is? Well we were seriously in luck because the cheapest one was $10.88. So we said that we would take it. So she put it in a little box with holes and we were on our way. We put it in a gift bag, and covered it with tissue paper! The hamster was going crazy you could hear it in the box running around. So we kept checking on it all during the night until we did the white elephant gift to make sure that it was getting air, and wasn't gonna die on us. So I walked over to check on it and the bag was seriously moving like crazy. So I peaked in and the hamster was right there out of the box. I was dying! It had totally chewed a hole in the box, and gotten out. So I obviously wasn't going to touch it. SO I was calling for Linds to come over, and luckily Jacee was right there and hurried and grabbed it in her hands while I put it in the box. Ah we were dying of laughter it was hilarious! So then we started doing white elephant gifts, and this kid was holding it on his lap and was like, "dude this is moving there is something alive in here", and Linds reply"oh it is just battery operated" ha! So they start reading the story and we are passing these two bags around well somebody drops the Hamster bag, and I scream because knowing my luck out would run a hamster, but luckily it didn't. So then it stops and everybody opens there gifts. Everybodies face was priceless when they saw that we had brought a live hamster. So this girl decides to hold it ha and gets peed all over! So then she almosts drops it on the floor. Then everybody wants to pass it around and it almost gets dropped like twenty times. It was hilarious! I just sat back and laughed my head off!! So if any of you n eed some ideas this one is classic!

Food Bank

Last Monday my dads side of the family went to the Food bank in Provo. It was such a humbling experience. It made me realize all of the many things that we take for granite, and food being one of those things. I didn't realize how many people are struggling to make ends meet just in Provo. I can't imagine getting to a point in my life where I couldn't even provide food for my family. I am so grateful to my parents for always providing for our family. We are so fortunate.

They took us on a tour of the Food Bank. The man said that they feed around 120 families a day. Not just 120 people, but 120 families. He also said that families can only come back every two weeks. I will let you do the math, but to me that is so many people who are going hungry. Most of the food there is canned food. If you look behind the family you will see yellow bins which are all full of canned food. They had several isles of them. I am so grateful to the thousands of people who have donated food. I need to be better.

We were in charge of making snack bags. So we decorated brown paper sacks and filled them with treats, and granola bars. It was such a blast to be together as a family, and to know that what we were doing would benefit someone else. They had a giant scale there so we decided to all jump on it and see how much we weighed. We weighed 2,009lbs. It was pretty funny....

I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to do something for someone else. I love the holiday season and for the many opportunities we have to serve those around us. To forget about ourselves and think of somebody else. To put yourself in there shoes and realize that life isn't so bad. I know I am so much happier when I am doing something for someone else.

"Service changes people. It refines, purifies, gives a finer perspective, and brings out the best in each one of us. It gets us looking outward instead of inward. Righteous service is the expression of true charity, such as the Savior showed."

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Whitt Clan. I am so grateful for my amazing family! For the love that we have grown throughout the years. I am so glad that we are all very close and support each other in all that we do. We have so many amazing memories together, and look forward to many more to come. We had a great day! I wanted to explode by the end of the day, but it was well worth it!

Me and Tamzy... I just adore her! She is so cute! Todd, Cari, John, and Boom

I am so grateful for the relationship that my dad and his siblings have. They all take great care of eachother. They are great examples to us kids. I hope that me and my siblings can have a great relationship like they do! Dad, Mom, Pop, and Gege

I am grateful for my amazing parents and all that they do for me. I wouldn't be the person I am if it wasn't for them. I am grateful for my grandparents. It doesn't get better then them. They support me in all that I do. They are so fun to be around! I sure do love them!
