ChRiStMaS!!!

Merry Christmas to all!! I pretty much just have to say that Christmas was amazing this year. It was very strange because it really just didn't feel like Christmas. It just snuck right up on me and I had no idea how it got there ha. Although it really didn't feel like Christmas...all the way up until we said our prayer and started opening our presents...I felt like this Christmas was just awesome. It was hard to not have the whole family there. I don't know how I feel about my siblings having in-laws to spend holidays with haha. Don't get me wrong though. I love my brother and sister-in-law, it was just weird to not have my brother and sister there. All is well! My mother gave an amazing prayer this morning, and that was the best way to kick of our Christmas day. I got to finish my Christmas off with a nice long skype with my bestest friend Jessica.
I am so grateful that we can take the time out of our busy lives to celebrate the birth of Christ. I know that He is my Savior and my brother. Every day I am grateful for his life and mission. I think we need to remember just how awesome He was for atoning for us all :) Anywho...I love my family and I'm so glad I could spend all day with them! It was awesome and just what we all needed.
I hope you had a very merry and fantastic Christmas! Here are a few pictures of our festivities that took place today.

Oh Happy Day!!

Oh my wordy!! How blessed I feel on this beloved day! Haha...but seriously! Most of you probably know that ipods and water don't mix...at all. I mean sometimes sweat from you workin out with it unprotected can mess it all up. Well let me just tell you a little story. Once upon a time...my dear cousin and I went and did a little Christmas shopping. When we got home Kathryn was doing laundry. Kels and I hear, "Oh crap." So I replied, "What?" To my surprise, Kathryn comes around the corner holding my little nano ipod (the one I've been looking for for the past week) and she tells me she washed it. :( Apparently I had lost it in a pants pocket that had been dirty for a week ha. Anywho...I was a bit upset. I wasn't like raging with fury or anything like that. I shouldn't have been because I still have an ipod touch that I love. It just doesn't have some of the music I really like that was on my nano. My dad told me that it was done for. There was no hope. I blow-dryed it anyway for a long time to dry it out as much as I could and I took off the skin that was on it. Then I plugged it in to my computer when I went to work, thinking perhaps it wouldn't turn on because it was dead. When I got home from work I opened up my computer and I heard the sound it makes when something connects to it. I was so confused. Then I look down at my little nano and see a very faint "connected" and little picture on the screen! I pretty much freaked out haha. I kept thinking no way! no way! no way! But sure enough it was on. I pulled up itunes and it was connected and I can listen to the music that's on there! Crazy stuff right? Well I kept it plugged in and now it looks like the picture below. You can still see some water in there, but it's not bad really. Tomorrow I'm going to pull off all the music that's on there and put it on my computer. It truly is a miracle that it works. I certainly was blessed today! Yay for my tough ipod!! :)

ginger...?

Yes...I'm a redhead now!!! And I love it oh so much!! My dear friend Katy did it for me and she is awesome! :) I'm so glad I went to her! Anyhwo, I will say that it is a lot of work to have and maintain red hair though. There are a few things I have to do, which I must say are some serious sacrifices haha. First, I can't go swimming, or get in chlorine. I'm not sure what it will do, but I know the chemicals in the chlorinated water and the dye in my hair don't go well together haha. Second, I have to wash my hair in COLD water!!! Cold showers are like my least favorite thing in the whole world haha. But...I will make that sacrifice because I love my hair and I want it to last :) There are other little things I need to do like use professional shampoo and heat protectant, etc. It's pretty fun stuff haha. Would you like to see pictures? I knew you would haha! Here they are: :)
