My sister. Again. :)

Just sharing the happy news. She's engaged! To Christopher of course. :) I still need to hear the details, but I'm sure I will eventually. And good news! Now I won't have to burn the cardboard cutout. :) Yay! Congrats to Kristen and Christopher! (Kristen Knorr. That has a nice ring to it!) AND I'm eagerly awaiting the story... (Hint hint Kristen. :D)

Revealing my feelings for my sister and her "special person"

Well, as you know, Kristen's missionary, Christopher, got home last week. It's amazing how much happier Kristen seems to be. I love the way they smile at each other. I know, I know, that sounds creepy. But Kristen just seems so gosh darn happy when she's around him! (and I must say, he seems pretty happy when he's around her too. :D) Now, being the creepy stalker I am, I went and read all of Kristen's blog posts with the label Christopher. I'm a stalker. Get over it. :P Anyway, reading those blog posts, I realized how perfect they really are for each other. And is it God's wish for them to get married? I don't know, but I sure hope so. ;) It's like they're living in their own little romance story, where the prince is supposed to run away with the princess, and marry her, and all is "happily ever after". While Christopher was on his mission, I always joked about how he'd come home and they'd get married. Now that he's actually back, it sorta, kinda seems like that might be a reality. And I'm totally psyched! I guess the reason I'm so excited, is because I'm watching Kristen build a life. I mean, she's going to college, she has a "special person" in her life, and she's jumped from teenager hood, to adulthood! I'm so happy and excited for her, and all the new changes that are coming her way. And I'm just glad that she can go first, so I know what to do, and what not to do when it's my turn! My big sister is wonderful, and amazing, and lovely, and funny, and fun, and happy, and sweet, and awesome, and basically the best big sister I could ask for. Also, let it be known, if Kristen and Christopher break up (which they won't, don't worry. But on the occasion that they do) I will personally burn the cardboard cut out of him in the street. :D I love you my wonderful older sister! :) (also...*giggles*)

This is my sister's "special someone", Christopher

And this is my gorgeous sister, Kristen

YAY! A post!

Yeah, I've been slacking on this, I know. Well, since I last wrote our basement flooded, I hit my face into a wall, we finished painting our basement, put carpet in our basement, started moving into our basement, I went skiing, I got to sit in an ambulance, and got my face got all scraped up. I'm thinking that maybe I should have made a post earlier. Oh, and Trevor got his mission call! Can't forget that... :) Alright, let's go into the tiniest bit more detail, shall we?? First, the basement. On morning in January, I woke up at 6:30 to the sounds of Mom and Dad's voices downstairs. The lights were on, and mostly I was annoyed because I still had another 15 minutes of sleep beckoning me! I swung me feet out of bed to go turn off the light, and SPLASH! Something on our water softener had broken, and the basement now had a few inches of water in it. Yeah... Some books got ruined, and a few of my stuffed animals. They took all the carpet out, we redid the basement. To some extent... We didn't move rooms around, but we repainted and re-textured and re-carpeted. It feels so nice down there! I just got moved into my room again a few days ago. And the past few months have been full of face injuries for me. One morning I was getting ready to go to the temple with the young women. I heard a knock on the door and so I turned off my lamp and started to walk out of my temporary room (the office) I tripped on something, and hit my face on the corner of the wall. I had a bloody nose, and my face was all swollen. And then on Monday of this week I went skiing with Katie and Brayden and Jeremy and Mary. As I was going down one of the hills, I tripped and slid on my face.
It's so pretty, eh? I know. Anyway, Christopher got home from his mission, and I'm wondering when they're going to get engaged. O.o And today was Brayden Bekker day. Long story. Closing night of When in Rome was a few nights ago, and that was kinda sad. And now it's on to spring break. Hurrah! Anyway, I'll try to update more often, as long as you guys keep reading. :)

Christmas

Yup. It's here. And this is the part where I brag about all my stuff! ;) Okay, only some of it.
I got a Canon Rebel T2i. LOVE! I will have a name for it soon. Also, now that I have a camera, keep checking my photo blog, Adventures. I got Bedtime Bunny, who is an adorable stuffed bunny, from Brielle. Mom and Dad gave me a new Pink Baby. Yay! My favorite childhood toy is back! Trevor got me a super soft scarf, which I am looking forward to wearing. Kristen got me a very pretty necklace. This year seemed to be my necklace year! I got a purple necklace from playing Bunko yesterday, a heart necklace from Grandma with my initials and an amethyst in it, and 2 necklaces from Santa Claus. One has a little ring that was CTR on it, and the other is 2 hearts. Yup! I got a rock tumbler, and it is currently tumbling some rocks in the garage. We got some Wii games for the family, and a Perplexes Ball. Brielle got and American Girl doll, and she's SO cute with it! That's about it. Also, please suggest names for my camera! I like to name my things. ;) I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, so any name will do.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Fall Break

Well, today was the first day of Fall Break. YAY! After taking a Warm Vanilla Sugar scented bubble bath, Mom, Brielle and I went up to Build-a-Bear. Brielle and I got matching bears named Brooke and Snow Bear. Hers is Snow Bear. XD They're SO cute! Then we went to Costco, then home to drop the stuff off. Then we went up to a little party store up in Lehi. They had so many cute things! Mom bought me and Brielle candy sticks. Then we went up to Trafalga, and rode the go-carts, and Brielle rode a pony. We wanted to do bumper cars, but everyone came off wet, so we decided to skip it. After Trafalga we went to Grandmas. She's catsitting Dexter and he's a hyper little kitty! Can we say SPAZMOID! He's cute anyway! XD Then we came home and found Trevor watching the Mentalist on the couch downstairs. Now we're packing up for tomorrow, and we're (hopefully) going to eat dinner soon. Stay tuned for updates on Fall Break! XD

This is what Brooke looks like. Outfit and everything! (minus the boots) Brielle's is exactly the same, but with a different outfit. XD

Role Models

Alright, so I have many role models. I want to model myself after so many great people, and that's great! I want to be better, and to have someone or something to model yourself after really helps. Some of my role models? Here they are, and why.

My Mom: Alright, so everyone's role model is their mom, and for good reason too! Of course, no other mom is as great as my mom, and I'm not just saying that. I know I can go to her for help. She can make me laugh, make me feel like I'm someone special in this world, and make me feel like I'm loved, because I am. She teaches me, and lets me learn. She doesn't hover, but she's always there when I need her. She's amazing, and I want to be just like her. I can only hope to be as great a mom as she is.

My Dad: He loves me, and is always trying to do what's best for me. I can tell that whatever he does, he does because he loves me. Love basically radiates off him! He's always doing the right thing, and I love him a ton! I don't like it when he's not here for dinner, or when he goes to meetings, but I know he's doing what he has to. He is active in his calling, and is working hard to make a living for his family. He is a great role model, I love him SO much. ♥

Jesus Christ: He should probably be at the top of this list. Who doesn't want to be like Christ? He love unconditionally, he helps, heals, loves. He is the greatest role model of all.

Trevor: He's so funny, so fun to be around. I want to be as happy as him, and as great a friend and sibling as him. He can tell awesome jokes, and it seems like he's always happy! I love him SO much!

Kristen: She is so happy! All the time! She laughs a lot, and her laugh is contagious and AMAZING (like mine! ^_^) . It's just such a happy sound! She knows that family, and friends are important. She is bubbly, and really fun to be around. She knows who she is, and she knows how to love. I really want to be like her. I also want handwriting like her. ;)
