Talk about a New Year.

Its amazing. I just think about this entire year. Everything thats happened and how much I've grown.
This past year, its been so insane. I've made one of the best friends I could ever have. I've been moved into the smaller room, so my sister, her husband, and son, could have my room. I've had the opportunity to record my piano music (didn't take up the offer though). I've really learned a lot about life. I also had the best time with family this year. I'm so proud with how much I've learned this year and how much I can push myself to learn the things I want to learn. I'm in high school now. Thats one of my greatest accomplishments, considering I teach myself most things.

This year has also been filled with a lot of heart ache. My Zune died last night, now I have to use my Ipod. My Camera flat lined while on Vacation in Oregon. I was moved into the smaller room.I still have to go to school. My old dirt bike broke down, for good. haha.
(Got a new Cam for Christmas. I'll be moving into the bigger room...soon? hopefully. I got a brand new dirt bike on March 31st. I still have to go to school though.)

Theres a lot of things that I will happily leave behind, ready for a nice new fresh start. But, all of those things got me to where I am now. I'm pretty satisfied with that now.

Well, Happy New Year to all. BE SAFE.

Be always at war with your vices,
at peace with your neighbors,
and let each new year find you a better man.
-Benjamin Franklin

Wow...its already Christmas Eve?

Its pretty insane...Thanksgiving had already and Christmas is tomorrow. Another year is gonna pass, and a new one is going to start.I am sure you all know that though. Recently, I've been going through a hard time. There has been some situations going on with my family that just put in some real heart ache. I think though, that soon, those things will go away.

Besides that. I'm so grateful for the things I have. I am now officially 15, and only 6 months away until I can rightfully drive...with an adult in the passenger seat. I'll deal. My birthday was awesome. Got some cool stuff, and some stuff for snowboarding that I've needed. It was very exciting.

This year for Christmas I'm almost dreading the reaction from my siblings when they open gifts that are from me. Mostly cause they seem to care more about gifts than the actual meaning of gifts. But all will go well, I hope.

Christmas is a wonderful time in my life. And not because its Christmas exactly. But because, there always seemed to be happiness in our family around this time. My brother, Kendon, always brings a negative spirit into our home. He never seems happy, or satisfied. He never tells us a thing, so for all I know, he could be married. And he's the type of person that wouldn't even tell us. This year I hope he doesn't put a bad mood into our home like last year. So this year. My WISH, is to have a happy home. A very loving home. Even in the situation we're in right now. Oooh...and some snow that sticks too...Of course.

I definatly want ALL my family to know that I love them dearly... I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for them. For all my family that live far away...I miss you terribly. I wish I could see you all more often.


Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home.

I miss Utah, being engulfed with love from my family there. I hope everyone a wonderful holiday. And may you make, the best of it.
