BRAINS!! (moan.....)

It was the coolest thing ever! I got to dissect a sheep's brain in Medical Anatomy and Physiology class!! Although that may not sound as fun to you as it does to me but I quite enjoyed it hahahaha. Maybe I'll get my lab partner to send me some pictures that we took. Honestly, I thought it was pretty small myself. I worked in a barn with 2 sheep and they have pretty large heads..but I'm not going to complain. 


I really wish I was brave enough to take pictures but I was not willing to risk getting brain all over my phone, so sorry :)

I never posted Thanksgiving!!

Whoops! Thanksgiving this year was one of the best days ever! It was so fun filled you didn't have time to get bored. One of the things that made it so great was having Kelly here. :) We had the family over for lunch at our place and everybody came for that. Taylor and Alex were just giddy to make the biggest leaf pile ever, so we did! It was seriously huge!! Many thanks to Matt. But of course the best part of all was jumping in it!! Even Grandpa joined in on the fun! After we were all covered head to toe in leafs we chilled, talked then went to the park. Dolly joined us for that one(much to her pleasure) We were probably at the park for a good hour at least. But how can you leave when there is hills to roll down, trees to climb, slides to slide etc?? We talked and laughed all the nice stuff until it was time to FEAST!! That was at Gramma's house of course. I must say it was delightful! yummm.....
p.s. I would love to post pictures, but they are all on facebook. Plus I cannot find them on the computer..

CHRISTmas!

Christmas over at the Parry's was pretty much the great typical Christmas everyone knows and loves. we had the famous Christmas Eve party at gramma's house and everyone came. The next day we went to sacrament meeting(It fell on a Sunday how perfect?!) then CHILLED!! It felt so nice! Brian and Tia were over all day long, we watched a movie like we do every year and such. We got to visit Gramma, Karen, Don, and Donny as well. We finished off the day at Gramma Ruth's house again for dinner. That night I slept over with 2 of my best friends :)
This year, I made all of my presents to give out which was equally fun as it was frustrating. LOL Mom's sewing machine and I are not on the best of terms at the moment but we are getting there. I am so grateful to have another Christmas filled with family, friends, and memories. I can't think of a better way to celebrate my savior's birthday better than to do one of the things that he did best, serve others.
Here are some snipits of the new memories:

LOL you can't see it well but Elle was being soo hilarious!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!

I don't wanna grow up anymore!!

Winter break is slowly fading! 5 more days left then it is back to school :/ well I am trying to think positive and remember that 2nd semester is almost here which means.....(drum roll)........TECH CENTER!!!!! Oh my goodness I have so many mixed emotions about it. I feel ecstatic, terrified, unprepared, hopeful, nervous ...bahh! I have this tendency to get myself worked up and terrified for things pretty easily mostly when it comes to the future. Well, on a side note, Christmas was great I got to spend it with family which was amazing. So far, break has been pretty relaxing. I spend most of my time at home or hanging out at Courtney's. I think I needed some relax time before I jump back into the swing of growing up. You know, I spent so much time wanting to grow up and thinking about everything that I would do when I was there and then I realized, I'm almost here! I am practically on the doorstep. And here I stand yelling, "wait! let me go back for a while!!". I joke with my dad saying how now I have to start a life...haha. I need a car, be responsible, start college, a job, a laptop, a boyfriend (lol just kidding on that last one:))
All this talk reminds me of a song in the movie Anastasia. Haha if you don't remember let me remind you. "Heart don't fail me know, courage don't desert me. Don't turn back now that we're hear! People always say, life is full of choices, no one ever mentions, fear. Or how this world can seem so vast, on this journey, to the past!"
Well, that was your song for the day. hahahaha. The coolest thing happened yesterday! So one of my Christmas presents was a jacket from one of my favourite stores, but it was too small. My sister and I also received gift cards to the same store. We went shopping and during which, I figured the total cost would be the exact amount that I had to spend. When I returned the jacket and went to pay for my things, the clerk returned my jacket for the original full price it was months ago!(right now it costs $3!!) So pretty much that alone paid for my entire purchase and the clerk gave me $3.19!!! So I was paid to walk out of a store with 4 shirts hahaha!
