Happy new years eve everyone!!!!! :)

Everyone better have an amazing new years eve tonight! Do something crazy! :)

Some of my aunts and uncles came over last night they brought their kids. All of the cousins who were here are younger than me. They are super cute though! My little cousin Taylor gave all of us nicknames last night. We watched football, and a bunch of the grown ups were bugging me about boys. I guess that's their jobs though. ;) It was kinda funny.

Today Inge and I made brownies! They are in the oven right now, and I'm watching Kourtney and Kim take New York, the best show ever! :) I should go check the brownies now though. Sorry this is such a short post, but nothing really has happened. My family and I are leaving Washington tomorrow after church. We are going to southern Minnesota to visit our grandparents on dads side! :)

Christmas and break..

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have had amazing blessed Christmases. :)

On Christmas day my family and I, excluding Matthew and Jeremy, left for Washington. We are currently staying and my Grandma E's house. It is a beautiful house and Elsie and I have a room for our selves with a tv, and sleep number bed, and our own bathroom. It's super nice! There is windows on both sides of the room looking out towards the mountains surrounding us. We are in East Wenatchee right in town. I don't really like the town personally. I realise how blessed I am to live in the country in a area with no traffic. The drivers around here and rude and don't even watch out for eachother. Yesterday my mom and I went to a fabric store to look for some yarn, and there was a truck sitting in the middle of the highway, right in town, trying to back up into a parking lot. We had to sit waiting for it for awhile and it was totally annoying.

I've been baking a lot. Yesterday Inge helped me make two cakes, it was her and Clara's birthdays. We made a chocolate cake and a pound cake, both gluten free. Today I'm making fun fetti cupcakes which are in the oven right now, they aren't gluten free though because we don't have any flour here.

After I'm done with the cupcakes, we are going out to visit different aunts and uncles that half of them I probably didn't even know exist. That should be interesting! I want to go skiing really bad. I think I'm going to have to wait till I get home to do that though. There isn't much snow around here. There's snow at the ski places but I don't think my mother, as coordinated as she is wants to bring me out and go skiing with me. It would be pretty funny to watch her though! :)

"When we went out last night." --Kenny Chesney

Last night was the youth group Christmas Caroling night. After school Rachel came over, and we did homework and chores until it was time to leave. No. Actually I'm kidding, Rachel did come over, but seriously? We didn't do anything, except a little bit of chores, but mostly we just chilled until 6. At 6pm Tami, one of our youth group leaders, came and picked up Rachel, Matt and me. We went caroling in TR to several shut-in's houses/apartments or whatever. :) After we were done caroling we went to McDonald's to eat/screw around. It was an insanely fun night and I wish I could hang out with the people that went more often! :) We had a huge group going last night, I think it was 16 of us. The youth group and friends that went were Whitney, Briley, Shane, Rachel, Matt, Noah, Cameron, Joshua, Cade, Elsie, Clara, Dede, Kjersten, Friedrich, Carl, and Logan, it was an amazing group with several talented singers. :)

Today for school I had testing all morning, a huge pain in the butt! We had to eat lunch with the junior high because it took all morning and the senior high lunch to do the tests. I guess they were some sophomore state required test. I also am in the play, we had tryouts last week and now we have practice for the next two months before our performance. The play that I'm in is a competition play, its for the one act competitions. It should be really fun! :)

New post. Finally.

I suck at this having a blog thing. I never remember to post on it. :(

Really so much has happened since I posted on here last. There's been good and bad, ups and downs. The last few weeks have been extremely hard. My brother's best friend, Jacob Bernier, passed away. I guess God knows what's best though. :'( As for good things, I sent in a form to be an exchange student in Italy. They just sent me a email back today saying that I'm excepted into the first step. There's still a lot of things to do for that. I'm one step closer though and that's kinda exciting. I'm taking Italian this year also, for anyone who doesn't know that. Although I talk a lot on facebook and in person, so I'm pretty sure almost everyone who reads my blog already knows that.

I got my first deer during hunting season this year! It was a fawn doe though, no prize there. I'm sure it will taste perfectly dandy though. :) I hunted with my friend Rachel, we hunted on the Nelson's land. It was super nice of them to let us hunt there!

Over the summer I didn't do anything that great. I went to Yellowstone. I guess that was fun. It's incredibly pretty there, and I'd definitely suggest to go there if you get the chance. We saw some cousins there too.

I don't like school this year. The classes are way harder than I expected and I'm not doing as well as I had hoped. I'm not failing or anything. I just don't really like it. There hasn't really been any fantastic highlights.

I was going to go learn how to make lefse tonight with Kelly M. but my mommy decided that it wasn't worth the yummy lefse that we'd get to have me gone. (Don't know what's up with that, I'd exchange me for lefse any day!) :)

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving obviously, so everyone better have a totally awesome day! :) I can't wait to get fat tomorrow! That's definitely on my list of things to do. I'm going black Friday shopping, I'm leaving to go to Rachel's house in the evening, and we're going to Grand Forks with another friend, Marisha, at midnight. I'm probably going to be so tired by the time we get back! I'm sure we will have a blast though! :)
