Catching Up

It's about time for an update I think. So here goes. :) I finally have time to catch up because fall semester is over! Another semester down, about 3 more to go... Slow and steady wins the race though. :)

I'm most excited about the Christmas season!!! It is quite honestly my favorite time of year. There is nothing more warming than a spirit of giving in the air. I love that everyone wishes you Happy Holidays even when you don't know them. Every store clerk, every bank teller, all family members, it's a great thing! Last night, I went on a date to the Nutcracker Ballet! My family usually goes every year but this year I wasn't going to get to go. My date surprised me and that's where we ended up. I forget how fun it is to get lost in that story. If I wasn't in the Christmas mood before, I am now! In fact I decided to watch White Christmas with another friend tonight-you can't get much more Christmas Classic than that :) It's my other all-time favorite Christmas show! I've got all my shopping done except for a present for my mom. What do you get someone who has given you everything?! It's hard to know. :)

Christmas always reminds me of the things that I'm thankful for, which leads me to something else I wanted to post. I was really privileged to get to be in this news story for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah. I have such a special place in my heart for this foundation because they touched my life forever. I couldn't be more grateful for the people that put this together and for everyone who granted my wish seven years ago. Here's the link-Enjoy!
