Checking in...
Sorry it's been a couple days, ok so almost a week since I've blogged. I was in a car accident on Wednesday. I am OK, thank you for asking. My back and neck hurt a little, but they are getting better every day.
UGH! One more week of school and then 6 weeks off, during which I will be at WDW! So if you have any suggestions of where we should go or what we should do, then please feel free comment! Thanks!
Ok I really don't know what to say right now, so I'm going to go to bed.
Thanks for reading!

The end is nearly in sight...
First I'd like to give a big SHOUT OUT to Jeni for leaving me my first comment! Thanks friend!
Ok, so let's get this over with so that we can move on. UCLA sucks and I don't care what you say USC just had a bad night and we're all allowed bad nights, but NOT when you play Notre Dame or UCLA and for that I will never forgive them. AARRGGHH!!!
So on to the good news, I GOT INTO CSUF!!!! I got my acceptance letter yesterday and I am so excited. How wierd is that?!?!?!?!?!? I can't believe it! Well the end is nearly in sight my friends.
My Christmas present from Nick this year was to go the the Club 33 Candlelight dinner at Disneyland last night. OMG it was AMAZING! The food was great, the music was wonderful and again one of the highlights was the "Mistletones", a group of singers that come around to the tables at club 33 for this event. They were great and a BIG thank you to Sydney for remembering all the fun songs like "I'm a believer," you know, the monkees song but with Christmas words..."Then I saw his sleigh, now I'm a believer.." Good times.
I've just gotta say, I love Sundays. I love going to Jr. High and worshiping with them in Veritas and I LOVE, I LOVE hanging out and having lunch with them. Today was extra special because we all went to see The Nativity Story today. Man, that's a great movie. I really reccomend it. Let's hope that Hollywood makes more movies like this one. It gets you in the mood for Christmas, not that I need any help with that.
Ok well I gotta go read for my class tomorrow. XOXOXXX

It's like a Celebrity sighting.
Sometimes I wonder why God brings certain people into our lives at certain times, and then why they are suddenly gone. And then there are sometimes when they come back again. Timing is a funny thing.
When I went to Biola, I had a very good friend, and through the course of time he and I lost contact. I was very sad by this loss, but today I ran into him VERY randomly. He and I exchanged contact information and I hope this time we remain in contact.
It's wierd seeing old friends whom you've lost contact with. It's almost like a celebrity sighting... Like you can't believe you ACTUALLY ran into them. I think my stomach turned a couple times.
Anyway, Thanks God for the wonderful surprise today!

Oh yeah, there was Thanksgiving!
So I haven't posted for awhile, so I thought I'd just write a little of what's gone on....
I got to see a sneak preview of The Nativity Story. I highly recommend it. It deals with such great questions that many people have about the birth of Jesus. Ok So that sounded wrong, what I mean is that it answers questions like "How did Mary's parents deal with it?" "How did Joseph react?" It really shows Joseph's character very well and I just love this character. The one thing that I kinda had a problem with was how the three Kings are there at the birth of Jesus, but when I saw it, the producer of the film was there and he explained why that is. He said that most often people picture the Nativity with them there (think of all your Nativity scenes) and so to make it a familiar picture to most people, they had them there. It's great! They explain how the Kings would be able to be there at the birth. For those of you who are wondering why I think that is weird that they are there at the birth... It's because historically they probably didn't arrive until after Mary, Joseph and Jesus return to Nazareth from their exile to Egypt. You have more questions, ask me later.
Anyway it's good. Go see it this weekend so that more Biblical movies will be made in Hollywood.
What else...Lots of school and lots of work. Same old. Same old.
Oh! It looks like I will be going to CSUF (or as Drew says, Cal State Disney) next semester! So cool. I'm this close to getting my degree!!!!!
Oh yeah, there was Thanksgiving! My sister came home from the Navy for Thanksgiving and it was great! We went shopping and hung out A LOT! On Saturday we went to Yankee Doodle's in LBC with Nick, Cherise, and Paul and we had a BLAST! I miss her already, but she's coming home for Christmas so I'm super excited!! I'm so glad we get along as adults. I know at one point I was ready to write her off completely and now I can't imagine not being as close with her. LOVE YA SIS!!
Yeah, so that's about it. I'm super excited for Saturday!! Candlelight! :)

Thank YOU!
So I just gotta say that the show "How I met your Mother" is... wait for it.. AMAZING!!! I totally recommend that ALL OF YOU watch it! It is very funny and the timing is great! Today's episode was really funny...
Today was good. I went to school and then work, where for the holiday I decided to make a hand turkey, you know when you trace your hand on construction paper and make a turkey out of it. Good times. Then I went back to school and my French teacher wants me to bring escargot to Monday's class. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? The day after Thanksgiving weekend, she wants me to make ESCARGOT! Which no one will eat anyway. So guess what? No I'm not making it. If any of you want to make it for me you can, I'm not going to stop you.
Then after being told to spend a heap of $$ on a snack for my French class, I went to my Cali History class. Now I want you all to imagine that you are in my class. So close your eyes-no wait don't. I want you to not close your eyes. Now do you remember in Ferris Buller's Day Off the two teachers that are in the High school? Yeah take the worst traits of both of them, combine it into one socially awkward community college teacher and now you're in three hours of my life every Monday.
So I can't wait for this weekend. More about thanksgiving tomorrow, but before I go. You get the AMAZING privilege of hearing/reading my favorite Thanksgiving poem:
When the turkey gobble gobbles
He's proud and plump and perky
When our family gobble gobbles
We are gobbling down the turkey.
Thank you!
