December in Review -- christmas parties + snow + tacky light shows + baking cookies || JANUARY 2018 IS HERE!!!!

 

WHAT HAPPENED IN DECEMEBER

- We had an ugly sweater party with the young adults / teenagers of our church, the children's church Christmas party (i helped with it), and then our church white elephant gift exchange Christmas party. IT WAS ALL SO MUCH FUNNNNNN!!!!

- We got the first snow of the year!!!! 8 inches. It was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! But I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted to.

- I finished up my government. YES!!!

- My family had a TERRIBLE experience. It had been snowing for some time, and on our way home from Walmart we see this guy standing in the middle of the road. As we near, we notice his face is covered in blood. He had wrecked his car into a gully and his face went through the windshield. He was up and walking around and talking to us, but it was really scary. We stayed with him until emergency services arrived. We called him the next day to see how he was doing and he said he was fine. I am so thankful that it wasn't any worse than what it was.

- More air soft wars with friends.

- Looked at Christmas tacky lights with my family and friends! SO MUCH FUNNNNNN!! (and we also ate at Arby's together!)

- We made TONS of sweets for Christmas. Thumbprint cookies, gingerbread cookies, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter balls... Mmmmm....

- Watched all of our Christmas movies and listened to tons of Christmas music


- Had two Christmas dinners (plus leftovers). We had Christmas dinner with just my family and then we went over to my Grandmothers house and had Christmas dinner with my extended family!! SO GOOD!!

- I took our family Christmas pictures

- Went over to our friends house for dinner and let me just say the food was AMAZING!!!

RANDOM / FUNNY MOMENTS

Kris was talking to me about money while she was making cookies.
her: "It's not like your rolling in dough, although I am right now."


I smashed my finger and it was bleeding and I showed it to Ben.
ben: *looks at my finger and then back at me* "Do you want to play piano tiles with me?"
me:

kris: "My elbow smells good."



lil kid talking to me about my braces: "You have ugly x's on your teeth."
me:

I was talking to some friends about a lady who had triplets.
me: "She had three triplets."
him: *sarcastically* "I knew someone who had four triplets once."



"People are rolling in here like oranges."  -- ben


Ben comes in from the 40 degree weather. "It's actually a lot warmer in here than outside."

me: *points to an acne bump on my forehead* "This is what you call the third eye."
kris: *points to an acne bump on her cheek* "This is what you call the third cheek."
me:

kris and me kidding with each other
kris: "I know when I've been insulted!" *pauses* "I know when I've been inpeppered."

JANUARY 2018 GOALS

Ok. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT 2018 IS HERE LIKE WAHHHT???

 

 

 

I have A LOT planned for 2018 and I AM excited, but it's just hard to believe that 2017 is gone. History. Poof.

I have tons of new year goals I have set for myself, but I'll just be sharing the ones I plan to get done in January.

- work super hard in school so I can be finished 12th grade by February

- read at least two books

- write at least 5k in my wip

- practice manual on my camera more

- start exercising

So today starts another year. A year of new adventures. A year of new possibilities. A year to make new memories. I'm really excited in some ways, but in others I'm sad. My life is slowly slipping by and I just want to grab it and tell it to stop. But I have to remember that 2018 is bringing so much stuff I haven't experienced before. For one, I'm graduating high school. That in itself is really scary to me, but I know the Lord will hold my hand and get me through it.

So, I hope you have a WONDERFUL new years day today!
*whispers* and guys. i have a surprise coming up next week!!  *screams* I'm SO EXCITED!!! shh...
