California

The perfect vacation; timing, place, people. It could have been a little longer, but college town was waitin for me
I didn't take like any pictures, but I did get stung by a jelly fish. Which hurt...like H-E-double hockey sticks
The Schuellers came which was so fun and we got to see Nikki and Clint & kids, and Jeff and Richelle & kids.
I love the tradition of going to IB and all the little traditions in IB. Katie's, Bibbey's Shell Shop, Cow-a-Bunga, the hotel for lunch, sleeping in the living room on mats listening to the ocean, Seacoast Pizza, The Dollar Store....it's a dream!!
It felt a little different coming back to a place I've come to since I was a kid. In a lot of ways I don't feel like a kid anymore. I felt different coming back this year. And I think it will be like that every time from now on. First time going back after my mission, after living abroad, after getting a job, after graduating college, after getting married, etc. Life changes so fast and so much is going to happen in the next 10 years!! I hope I stay the same deep down though. Nothing can change the important things; my love of family and the gospel.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...

On the seventh day of Christmas

December gave to me....early out from school! Davis made their goal of getting $6,500 in 5 minutes during our "Dash for Cash" and earned a 'Christmas Officer Talent Show Assembly'. Otherwise known as 'Go Home After Four Shortened Class Periods.' So we got out at about 11:45 and Emily, Amy, Ruby, Emily M and I went to Fiiz and Bowman's to get stuff for friend gifts. I got some Lindt truffles. We went to Emily's for lunch, then Emily and I went to Farmington Station for a successful holiday shopping trip. Then we went and got her little sisters; Christina and Ellie, and I got Ptolemy and we went to Alexander's Bad Day at Kaysville Theatre. My mom ended up going too and taking Xanthe and Tizzy, who we hadn't had room for in Emily's car. It was such a cute movie! Then I took Ari and her best friend Ellison to Yogotogo. They're such cute girls. It's funny to hear their Junior High stories/experiences/slang. Oh those good ole' awkw...
