I forgot to tell ya about my Thanksgiving break!
And I can tell you now, because I have once again decided I CANNOT do homework on Sundays... unless I really have to. I don't know why I got back into the habit of doing it on Sundays this last semester... well maybe because my homework load is a lot.... but I will have to make sacrifices and do better on planning out my time, because Sundays should be the Lord's day!!
And a day to write on my blog!
So before I get to Thanksgiving, I just returned from the Christmas Devotional by the first presidency and it was absolutely amazing! Like always whenever we hear from the first presidency. It was really neat because Trevor invited me with his family to go to the program and we were able to sit really close to the front. I was so touched to watch President Monson, President Eyring, and President Uchtdorf interact with each other. You truly can see their love for each other. I also was touched watching them during the songs performed by the tabernacle choir. I especially love the Christmas Hymns and the spirit that they bring about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, but tonight when the choir was singing The First Noel and Silent Night, the first presidency got choked up, and I couldn't help but get choked up myself because, If anyone knows our Savior better, it would be them. So seeing them get emotional about the greatness of our Savior Jesus Christ's life in coming here to this earth.... It was just an experience I'll cherish forever! I'm really grateful for the opportunity I had to witness and go tonight with the Pugh Family!!!
So Thanksgiving break came and left so fast it almost felt like a dream. haha isn't that just how life gets the older we get? And sorry I have no pictures. I really need to charge up my camera and start turning picture savvy again. I'll just be quick:
In the morning I went with Trev's fam up in the North Salt Lake area I think... and it started off with a football game. Eh Heh heh... I learned that I should probably learn the rules to football before I try playing:) Yep! I don't think I need say any more than that....
Then we ate a delicious Thanksgiving meal! Mmmm! I loved the sweet potatoes MmmMmm!! Trev's family really went all out decorating I thought. I felt like I was at a reception hall haha! It was pretty! and then there was the football game on... that made me laugh -so different from our family that never watches sports.
After eating we drove quickly down to Payson for the Muppet Movie with our fam. I liked the movie! It kept me entertained! And afterwards we went to the Doty's house and played DANCE on the Wii. Oh my! There were some pretty funny groups that danced (like Earl, Austin, and Pat haha). My favorite was Mom, Sandra, and Karen.... Mom totally took the gold!! She rocked the house! Dad unfortunately couldn't participate because the night before we went to Austin's school gym and played and he hurt his back.
Playing at the gym was WAY fun too though. We had jump ropes, hula hoops, balls, parachutes, all sports balls, wheely things, and much much more. We had it all to ourselves: Mark's fam, Austin's fam, and me, mom and dad. I learned how to double dutch rope. It was so much fun. Emmalee is way good at it!! She'd just jump right in and go at it. I won the single jump roping though. No one could out jump me. Yep!! I'm pretty proud!
I also got A LOT of homework done so that was super nice. Makes life a little bit easier right now. I need to get to bed though so I can wake up early and do Homework before work. The week starts of CraZinEss!!!! If I don't return calls, emails, or texts..... know I'm not trying to ignore you, I'm just a bit of a stress case starting at 6:15a.m. when my alarm goes off. Wooo!
I can't double dutch. It's true, I was an elementary school outcast.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say I could beat you at jump roping, but then I remembered that Trevor kicks my butt at the jump rope game every time we're at Chuck E Cheese (though I kill him on the street ball game). So, Trevor would totally jump your rope!
