Tierra and Jason's Reception

I went to two of my good friends' reception last night. (They got married to each other.) It was really happy. It is weird that they are married though. We've all been expecting it for years, but to have it here already is just crazy. The fact that I won't see them again for a year and a half is also a little weird. But it was a lot of fun to celebrate with them and to see all of my other friends that were there that I hadn't seen in a while. I had at least one friend there whom I hadn't seen since before his mission. It's a good thing I saw him now, or it would have been a very long time between seeing each other. I'm sure we would have survived though. :)
Well, I suppose that's my life right now. I'm frantically trying to get packed and clean my room so my mom doesn't have to do it after I leave. So this is all I'll write. If and when Jason and Tierra read this again, Congratulations once more, and WRITE TO ME!!!

Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas day! Santa left a whole bunch of presents under the tree (that's a first for him, he usually just sets them next to our stockings). My mother informed us that they were "giving presents" and that the tag was inside. So each of us would unwrap one and then give it to whomever it belonged. I got a lot of them, as I'm going on a mission and all of my Christmas was what I needed for that endeavor. Santa also gave me a digital camera. Imagine my humor when I opened the present from my cousin, and found another one! So I believe I will take one with me and leave one here to be used as occasion needs. That means that the twins could take it with them to various activities and take pictures. This could be funny, since the family also has two different cameras. We apparently now have a lot of digital cameras in our family.

My Grandparents gave me pajamas. I think they've realized that I'm the only girl that doesn't mind pink, so I seem to get all of the pink things. They are very careful to not give either of my sisters pink anything. So my pajamas are pink, Angela's are blueish, and Trina's are blue and greenish. We were all okay with that. The fun thing is, one of my cameras matches my pajamas! That is very important. :)

Family History

So I've been going kind of crazy lately doing my family history. I have to take a couple stories of my ancestors with me on my mission. so I've been gathering stories and while at it, updating my PAF file. I think I may be driving my mother nuts because I've been at it almost all day, every day for at least the last week. the problem is, while I have a computer in my room, it doesn't have internet connection, and I've been doing quite a bit of it online. I think I was abnormally excited when I found some information that I had previously not had, and I hadn't gotten from my grandparents. I've gotten most of my info from them, but I'm running out of stuff that I can get from them, and I'm soon going to have to start working on my own. but that probably won't happen until after my mission. And so I will leave all of my information on my computer and hope that no one messes with it while I'm gone. I am, of course, making a couple copies and putting them on various flash drives and maybe even a CD, to put in my storage boxes, so that there is no way I will loose my information. it is too valuable to me.
