Baptism

We just got back from my boyfriend's baptism in Redding. Well, Sharon and I at least. Mom and Dad are doing their shopping and Jacquie went home with a friend to spend the night.



My Dad baptized Jori, joking around that he just may hold him under the water. Jori had to be dunked twice because Dad forgot to say something the first time. Afterward I gave my testimony and ended up crying and making a few others cry. Then Jori made me cry again when he bore his. Then we all went to Hometown Buffet for lunch. Overall, it was a really great day. I've never seen Jori so happy. My heart is full from all the emotions I've felt today. All good emotions though.

Kitty's First Kill

A few weeks back, I'm brushing my hair when I hear my sister scream. Not quite a blood curdling scream, but a surprised scream. This is why:


My baby girl caught her first mouse. At least I wasn't asleep when she got it, or else I would've woken up with a dead mouse on my bed. So, we documented her first kill. It's a good thing we have a mouser in the house. We have too many mice.

Christmas

We ended up with a white Christmas this year. I was very happy with my gifts. Thanks Kris for the backpack, I'll definitely need it.

I was very, very, VERY happy about the present I got from my parents with Kristie's help.

An art set! I can't wait until I actually come up with something to paint. I need some painting tips/help from a pro, but there is someone up here that I'm sure would be thrilled to help me. I'd love to go to Nana's to learn from her, but I don't know if I'll have the time any time soon. I'll be spending another "Christmas" with my boyfriend and his family. I feel so bad that his parents and Grandma each bought me a present since I don't have much to give them. I'll have to bake lots and lots of goodies tonight.

Merry Christmas Eve

Well, a lot has happened since my last post. Nothing too eventful, my life is very boring. A bit of news: I finished my finals last week. They were a breeze. The hardest was math, but I ended up getting a B for the class. Still waiting for my other grades though. Hmm, lets see...my cat is a dork. She attacks people's feet from below the floor. She sits on top of the mattress downstairs and attacks the ceiling when someone walks past. Hence the dorkness.
It snowed. A bit. It's raining now and most of the snow has melted. I'm not too thrilled. I hate the snow. Sure it looks pretty, but when it melts the ground is a swamp. I only need to wait a few more months and then I will be leaving to L.A. to live with my sister for a semester. I'll miss it up here, but I'll also miss the rest of the wet season up here. I'm very excited though! It'll be a good experience for me.
Another thing. Merry Christmas!

1) I like to do voice impersonations. Especially Gollum. I actually do it pretty well.
2)My left side is cursed. Everything that hurts or gets hurt is the left side. I had surgery on my left knee. When I run into things I get hit on the left side and all the bones I have broken have been on my left hand and foot.
3)I play the piano. I love to play classics. The first song I learned to play all the way through was Fur Elise. I only know how to play a few hymns well, as sad as that may be. I don't practice those as often as I should.
4)I used to be a tomboy. Apparently I'm not as tomboyish and tough as I was when I was young. Now, if I'm poked in the side and I say ow. It doesn't hurt, it's just a reflex.
5)I want to become a C.S.I! I used to hate math, but now, it's my favorite class, I do well in it and science is easy to me. Who knew?
6)I don't know 6 people who have blogs, only 4 and 2 of those have already been tagged.

So...I tag Brenda/Mom and Aunt Pattie
You're it

Happy Birthday to Me!

Wow, 18 already. I'm legally an adult now. So far my day has gone well. I had to play piano in church today, but it wasn't too hard. Jori came over yesterday and took me out for a birthday dinner at La Casita. It was really good! I baked my cake and just finished putting on the frosting and decorating it. Sorry, no picture, it looks terrible.

After much debate and discussion (with my mom) I have finally decided what I want to major in.



Forensic Science. I'm not doing it because CSI is an awesome show, because I know it's not going to be easy to get there. I'm so excited though! It sounds so fun!
