I wasn't dreaming of a White Christmas.

This is my final year at home before I head out to serve a full time LDS Mission. I am currently wrapping up my papers and am more than likely going to be sending them in within the next two weeks. I'm not sure exactly when or where my call will be for, but I can tell you this right now, it's going to be exactly where I need to go. I have trust in the lord that everything will be just fine and I will be placed where I can make the biggest impact on peoples lives. That's my thought process anyways.
On a different note, Christmas was a blast. My family gave me exactly what I needed, and plenty of things I wanted. We started off in the morning like most families do, opening presents. It was fun to see the excited looks on both Tyson and Sarah's face as they opened up their toys, clothing, and other items.  I still get excited for my gifts too, but like I'm sure Danielle is, I was trying to keep it in for some reason, probably to look tough or something. It's funny though, as much fun as I had opening presents with my family, the highlight of my day was probably either our Christmas Lunch/Dinner (Ham, Funeral Potatoes, and miscellaneous vegetables) or when I got to go see two movies with my loved ones.
As many of you may or may not already know, I am a Media Arts major at Brigham Young University, which means one thing. I love movies.  My love for movies was probably inherited from my goofy father.  I had the opportunity to see Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, which was an awesome movie, with my father, and the Guilt Trip with my mom and sister, which aroused emotions of guilt within me, go figure eh?
The Christmas was a good one.  I apologize for this post because it was nothing more than really a journal entry. (I'm 100% still btw!) I hope that everyone's Christmas was as memorable and fantastic as mine was. I'm going to miss my family wherever the lord sends me next Christmas. The Church is true, don't forget your prayers, and have a Happy New Year!


That's right! I didn't skip my 1 year mark.
