merry christmas a day late.

the past few days have been nonstop but awesome.
on christmas eve we went to church and then we headed over to the pope's house. it was really fun. :) kellen, isabel, josh and i all just hung out in josh's room majority of the night. we talked and laughed about the most random things in the world. of course.
then we got a wii from the pope's! it was so nice of them and it's awesome. we talked to tracey for a while and she is really funny.
yesterday we got up and got ready. then we opened presents. i was really excited for some of my gifts. i got a coat from mom. it's black! and isabel, josh and i are going to WICKED!!! i am so excited. those are probably my two favorite presents. i am so excited. i was speechless. then josh and the mrs. pope came over along with tracey, jaime and the babies. they are so cute. isabel and i switched off between luke and anna. :) josh's tire ended up dying on the way here so that was some excitement. mr. pope was sick so he ended up staying home.
then josh, isabel, kellen and i hung out...of course. :) we rented 2 wii games- star wars and speed racer. speed racer is pretty much awesome. yeah i pretty much rock. haha
well then minte came over and we played speed racer for like 4 hours or seomthing. it was ridiculous. then we just hung out. it was really fun.
minte got powdered sugar on josh, he ate chimichangas at 130 in the morning and then him and kellen watched south park. it was a normal night. haha.
i ended up falling asleep somewhere around two. this morning i woke up and then erin calledd. we talked for a while and then she and michael came over. josh, kellen and michael all ended up getting their christmas presents and they looked really nice in them and they fit!
then it was just a couple of us hanging out while uncle dreas and adler came over.
tomorrow morning i work...so i gotta go..

come what may...

i finished exams on thursday and was so thankful that i was able to because on friday those who were supposed to have school ended up having a snow day! i would have had to gone in but i was able to get one exam out of the way. isabel and kellen had to go into school on monday..

tonight i've been finishing up some last minute christmas presents..i'm pretty excited abou tthem. they're going to look really cool!
and this past weekend we cleaned and zoe came home and we cleaned some more for aidan's birthday party on sunday. it was really fun. jaime and tracey and the twins came over, mrs and mr pope and josh. josh and i talked some about his upcoming album and music.
i'm so excited.

i have no idea why but i am so exhausted. i'm just tired tired tired! :)
oh well. tomorrow morning's christmas eve and i'm not sure what we're doing exactly. probably grabbing some stuff from the old house and then finishing up grabbing stuff from walmart.

oh yeah. and today was aidan's birthday. he turned 4. even though when you ask him...he says he turned 5. and then a couple weeks ago whenever you would ask him he would say 6. so i think he knows but it's funnier to be a different age. :)
anyway. aidan's 4 and he's so crazy funny. we made some cookies and isabel and him played in the snow tonight. we finished putting lights on the christmas tree!

last week i ended up dying my hair. it's supposed to be the reddish/coppery color i did last winter but i didn't leave it in as long as i was told to. so there's just a hint of difference but that's really what i needed .

ok i should go..
.merry christmas...
i'll write more soon.
merry merry christmas

we're moved!

I think i'm finally catching up on sleep too.

Isabel and i got most of our room set up in the places where we want it and now it's just time to put things away. i started getting some of my clothes in my dresser last night and slowly but surely i am making this house more ours. our bathroom was finished yesterday so now we have another full bath downstairs and i got ready in it this morning! :) haha.

i wrapped most of my friends present last night which was really nice because i've needed time to do it for a while now. I'm pretty excited to see what everyone's reaction is going to be. i still have to finish shopping for like josh, kristin and mom. but other than that i think i have just about everyone else's presents.



exams start tomorrow and i think that i'm dreading tomorrow the worst too because i have pre-calc and world lit. 2.

last thing. our christmas concert was on sunday and it was the BEST one. the band is really good and acappella made it through. :) we didn't go flat on any of our songs and just went through it which was really nice. i loved some of our songs. and i was really happy that josh could make it because i had asked him to but wasn't sure if he would come.

now it's time to get the house all unpacked, study for exams and get the house decorated for christmas

time for another move.

this weekend we're moving...again. we're all pretty excited right now i think but at the same time i know that tonight is going to be interesting because i feel like i haven't packed ANYTHING yet.

exams are next week...finally.
it's going to be nice because i'm so ready for the break and being able to just sleep for a very long time. ;)
on tuesday we had a snow day and i slept but my body just hasn't had time to catch up yet. so yeah.

i really need to get lots done so i'll write more another time............

tired. tired tired. :)

i'm tired but i've got the boys room all packed up and ready to go. yay.
next is selah and elise's room.
i've already started it tonight i just had no motivation.

exams are already next week...they begin on the 17th.
we're moving next weekend and i feel like i haven't done much but i know i have gotten a lot done.

dad and i went to the hospital for a few hours last night and zoe was WIDE awake. it was so good to see her eyes again! both times we visited last week she was sleeping and then last night when i saw her she was ready to just look around and search for people the whole night. :)
she was holding my finger last night and had her strong grip. and then her and i hung out while dad and jen walked down to the cafeteria for some food.
i sang some of our choir songs and she started to fall asleep and then when she heard jen's voice she popped back up. :)

ok. i have to work on this cd thing for choir.
and then busy day tomorrow.

something that has been on my mind a lot has been a new camera. i know that it seems like it is always on my mind. but lately it really has been. i think it's something that i really should just go for and get. i need to take pictures for people. i'd do it for free. i'd do it for money. :)
but i love it. i love taking pictures for people...it's fun. and something different to do.
i loved taking josh's pictures and i loved taking erin's senior pictures.

i hope that one day i can take more of josh's album pics. maybe he'll talk jon into getting some pics taken by me....oh my....that'd be amazingggg. :)

here's a picture that mrs. pope took from a while ago at the twin's baptism.

here's a couple of pictures from last tuesday when we walked to GHS to see jonathan bennett and olesya rulin and josh!
cute....love him. :)
she was so sweet!
this one is probably my favorite..... we wanted to take a funny picture because i don't know. but also to see what the other girls would do. believe me...their jaws DROPPED. it was hilarious.

i'm kinda jealous of josh right now because he gets to go and meet these cool people like jon bennett. and hang out with them and become best friends with them and go visit them in warm climates.
anyway.

yesterday we had a snow day.
and exams are coming up in just about 2 weeks! i can't believe that they are already here.

i'm so ready for sleep. but i now have a paper to write.

snow day!

we got snow last night and today...
everyone was hoping for a snow day for today and sure enough.
wake up this morning and i walked downstairs to check.
SNOW DAY! :)
we hung out in the afternoon. we walked to alterra and shopko and walgreens.
then we went to see a movie.
not too eventful. but i did slip and fall on the ice...it was bound to happen.
oh well.
tomorrow we'll have school and then i'll probably go back home for the night.

i wish i could find something more to write about but i guess that there's not much that i really want to write about. i'm going to find something to do...maybe read or call kristin...update her about zoe and everything.

i'm also pretty excited for josh. he met jon bennett last week and it seems like they're really getting along. which is good for josh.

ok. i really need to find something to do .

comewhatmay..
