Dear Blog.
Today has been a rough day!!!
I have been feeling pretty crappy and am tired of not feeling good. The headaches have eased up a lot and I'm so Grateful for that, but I just don't feel right. Tomorrow I'm headed to a Dr up in Rexburg and am nervous! I always think the worst, but I know that my body has been through some big changes in the past year and so for now I'm chalking it up to that. We shall see what Dr. Thayne has to say. Wish Me Luck!! Also
I've really been missing my Grandpa lately and I really wish that he was here some days. He was one of the Kindest, most humble men around. I feel so lucky to have been blessed to not only know him, but have him in my life, and to have been able to spend a lot of time with him before he passed away. I was thinking back today of one of the times I sat with him and just held his hand before he passed away. I remember him just laying there while I read him an article from the Ensign, I figured he had fallen asleep, until I read the last line of the article and he squeezed my hand and said " I Love you Hunny." I'll never forget that moment and am so Grateful for such an amazing example in my Life. I hope to someday be half as great as him. I Love You Grandpa Chandler.
So Thankful for good people in my life, that I can look to when times are tough.
Looking forward to a new day tomorrow.

Off the Map
So can I just say how much I Love this new show. It has only been on twice, but it has got to be one of my new favorites. It's suspensefull, and has a pretty good story so far, and not to mention the Male Dr's are pretty attractive. Can't wait for the next episode.

No Freaking Way
Okay this may seem, like not much of a big deal to some people. But to me it's HUGE!!!
Today I bought a couple pairs of Jeans, in a Size 18!! I'm not sure you heard that Right, I said
" A Size 18!!"
I almost had to pinch myself, to make sure it wasn't a dream.
I was Totally Awake.
I'm so excited!! I haven't been able to fit in this size for SO long. What an awesome feeling.
Okay enough bragging for now. I can't wait to see what happens next :)

I have a DREAM!
Today is Martin Luther King Day.
So no School, and just spending the day relaxing and thinking about how grateful I am to live in a Free country. I am thankful for brave people who stand up for what they believe, even if it's not popular. I'm also thankful that I live in the day that I do and that most people try to be respectful of others.
Thanks Martin Luther King Jr, for Having a Dream!

Oh how I've missed blogging
It's been awhile since I've taken time to blog!
I have had a good start to my 2011! I can't believe that it's 2011 already! Times goes so Fast, it's crazy.
So New Years Eve was a blast! We had lots of yummy treats and Danced the night away.
Wii Style.
Boy was it fun and Embarrassing all wrapped up in one. I determined quickly that I have NO rhythm, but it's All good. We ended 2010 and began 2011 with a BANG! We always do our traditional "pot's and "pan" banging. So loud, it's great!
I'm grateful for a new year and look forward to making lots of changes and maybe trying a few new things

Oh That's Holiday
So I got caught up with the blog challenge and haven't posted hardly anything since then, so I thought I would do a recap of "The Holidays."
Well I'll start at Thanksgiving!
Our Thanksgiving was a pretty quite one, this year. We ate Thanksgiving dinner at the Willows and it was just the Willow, the Parents, Ashley, Lola,Nathan, and Myself. Although it was just a small group, we didn't starve! We had the usual feast and the goblets were present. Of Course. Nate dipped his elbow in the food, we all laughed through the prayer, and created more memories, with the photo shoot after we were all Stuffed! Then it was "Black Friday" preparations, Mapping out all the game plans. This year we tried something a little new, WE DIDN'T SLEEP!! Stupid, you say. I agree :)
We headed to Wal-Mart at about 10:30 p.m. and didn't return till the next morning. I got yelled at by an ignorant man Who called Me Naughty Words? What a Jerk! That's okay, We scored all the loot we wanted and chalked it up to another successful Black Friday!
Then on to Christmas! I love Christmas, I love why we celebrate, and I sorta Love buying presents, this year I was pretty strapped for cash, and this created some serious stress for my insides. I wanted to buy gifts for all of my Favorite people, and I think I pulled it off.
I started my shopping on the last few days before Christmas. Not fun, and I hope to be way more on the ball for next year. Maybe I should start saving NOW! hmm, What a concept?
Christmas Eve is another night filled with fun traditions, we usually gather at the willows and eat dinner and then we, all get geared up to do the Nativity. This has been a family Tradition for as long as I can remember.
My Grandpa used to always read the Christmas story while we acted it out, and since he passed away, my dad has taken over that job. This part has gotten a little more dramatic and a little more embarrassing over the years, but we have a Great time and create lasting memories.
This year I was a "Wise man" and was excited that I could wear one of the "coats". Next year it's a Fur coat All the way!!
We started a new tradition a few years back of doing a white elephant gift exchange, we do this by reading a left- right poem. Who ever picked this years poem, should have been shot. OOPS, sorry guys.
It's been fun to see what crazy things are opened at the end, a toilet brush, a box of cereal, a Flea collar, and Lot's of other creative things :) After all the madness, we end the night with singing Christmas carols. Such a great time with Family.
Then it's headed home and off to bed upstairs, we have all slept upstairs since we were young. usually we play games and eat treats and just hang out till we drop, this year "people" were a little sleepy so we didn't do much, but it was still lots of fun.
Christmas Morning, we all wait on the stairs for the go ahead! We always come down together to see the tree lit up and toasty fire to keep us warm and then check out What Dear old Santa brought.
That about wraps it up. I love spending the Holidays with the Family. Great times and Memories that will last forever.
Here are just a few of the Holiday Shots that were taken!
