Now that I am turning to this blog as a journal, I think that I am going to make a better effort to take pictures everyday (Maybe a New Years Resolution). Today I woke up and ALMOST finished cleaning... I am terrible. Around lunch time, my mom and I went to the movie theatre to reserve our seats. It was the fancy theatre with recliner seats and you actually have to reserve the seat you want to sit in (like an airplane). So, we did that, and then stopped by Forever 21 to get some jeans because mine keep ripping (probably because I keep buying them there...). After, we ate and with my sister, we went to the theatre to go see "La La Land" with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.
The movie was really good. Normally I don't like the musical type movies, but this one was good! There wasn't TOO much singing and dancing, but just enought that it was cute. It also had great messages like to follow your dreams no matter what. It does not matter the money or circumstance, but if it is your dream, chase it. I really love that becauase I have learned that, in life, sometimes we become too obsessed with money and material. It is important to step back, recognize what is most important to us and go for that. When we do this, we will find TRUE happiness. After, the movies, we went to Menchies Frozen Yogurt. I, of course, got vanilla with reeces cups. Today was a great day.

It has been 4 days since Christmas and even though it is done and over with, I can still feel that Christmas spirit. It is something special. Today, was an interesting day. I woke up and went on a walk with my mom. Next, I tried to clean up my room and organize my stuff... but of course I didnt. After lunch, my siblings, mom and I went to run a few errands that ended in a sibbling fight over the front seat. Hey, no ones perfect. Throughout the day, we talked about going to the movies, but could not agree on a movie that we would all want to see. (Typical) Because we could not decide on a movie, we decided to go to the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory in Henderson, NV. I think it's their headquarters where they make all of the chocolate. For Christmas, they set up a lot of lights in their desert landscape. It was really beacutiful. There are all kinds of lights and blow ups. It was mostly fun to just be with the family. I feel thankful to have the family that I do. I love them beyond measure. Since coming home from my mission, I have realized that family is not perfect. I think that was hard for me to accept. I taught people that families are forever but in order for them to attain that foreverness, they need to keep the commandments and essentially be good people. I am learning that that doesnt necessarly mean perfect. We can be good people through the atonement of Chirst. He fills in those gaps and makes us whole. We just need to accept it and live it. Funny: Last week, we went to Florida and on our flight back, there was a poster that said, "Here's a yes or yes question: Cabo?" it was obviously advertising a trip to Cabo and Conner reads it as "Here's a yes or yes question: Caboo?" "that doesn't even make sense" he said. We were all in tears as the flight crew was staring at us. |
