Happy New Year!



I am really bad at posting on this thing but i will try my hardest to do better. I am still doing weight watchers and have lost a total of 19 lbs, although i have gained 6 back from our vacation and Christmas, I think I have done really well.

This year is going to be very exciting for me because I plan to lose the rest of my unwanted weight and reach my goal. I also graduate from Weber State this year with my elementary education degree!!! It feels like I have been in school forever but only because I took an 18 month break for my mission and another year and a half break because my job didn't allow me to go to school. As stressful as my job is now (emergency medical dispatcher) it has been really good with working with my school hours and I'm able to do my homework at work during the down time hours. I also, for the most part, enjoy the people I work with.

Another fun thing that I look forward to this year is Disney World!! We love Disneyland and have had so much fun there but I have been wanting to go to Disney World for the longest time so for my graduation trip we are going to go to Florida to visit Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, and the beach!

We had a fun Christmas. Right when the school semester got out we headed to California to visit Disneyland. It is so much fun during the Christmas time! One thing I really love about Disney anything is how much thought they put into things to make the experience that much more enjoyable. Standing in line isn't too bad because they have so many things to look at. Also during the fireworks they made it snow which I thought was so awesome! People were just in awe at the whole situation which made me laugh a little but Mike brought up a good point saying that some of those people may have never seen snow before. The Christmas parade was a lot of fun. We also saw fantasmic and the world of color! Those shows are so fun! That is all we really did but we wanted to just relax so we did a lot of that! It was really fun and much needed.

Here are some pictures of our trip, these were taken on my phone because I don't have my camera with me.
The beautiful castle during the Christmas time!
This was a cookie i got, it didn't really taste very good but i thought it was cute!
Mickey!!! Had to get a picture of him...don't know those two little girls though! he he
World of Color!! One of the best shows I have ever seen!! We saw it twice while we were there.
He he, had to upload this one. I always try to make a face.....
The tea cups!
This is one of my ALL TIME favorite rooms at California adventure, i could sit in here all day long!
The same room from another angle
He he, I was trying to make a funny face but it didn't work out so well!!
This is a really bad picture taken from my phone...but if you look carefully it's main street with the Christmas tree in the back! So beautiful! We were waiting for fireworks.

After we got home from that my sister, brother in law and nephews all came home for Christmas as well which made it so much fun! We don't get to see them very often with Seth being in the Army so it was a real treat. So sad they are going back tomorrow....

Well that is it for now!
