That is, "birthday", "Christmas", and "New Year!" I realize it's been a while since i've posted, and i apologize for that. I can only blog once in a while, but when i do, it's usually worth it. :)
The 21st was the greatest day of the year because--you guessed it-- i turned 17! As of now, i can (legally) go see Rated R movies and donate blood. Unfortunately, i don't care to go see any movies that are Rated R, and blood drives only come around every once in a while. So... 17 isn't that HUGE of a deal. If you're wondering, all i really did for my birthday was go to church, come home, finish reading "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer (awesome book, by the way), and go on a treasure hunt for presents. That was fun. :) I have a video of it, but i think we all are aware of how agonizing it would be to try and download it from here at my casa.
As for Christmas, we were honored with the presence of Keith, Rachelle, and Molly. :) Also, i'm proud to say that i haven't lost my dog-whispering abilities. I wish i could've gotten a picture of me laying on my bed watching "Scrubs" (courtesy of Todd... thanks, broja!) with Molly... it was tute. And for New Years Eve, i chilled with my family for a little while with the traditional buffet, then i drove down to Kanab for the bi-stake New Years Eve dance. It was SO much fun! Plus, i won a root beer. haha
Alright... i am currently waiting for dinner and watching the Rose Bowl, so i'm gonna go ahead and do this super long survey that i kiped from MySpace. You don't have to read it all, if you don't want to. :)
