crazy christmas holidays!!!

the christmas holiday was pretty awesome, but i wish that it could have been longer. that would have been nice. i guess that i should start by talking about the vegas bowl.
vegas was pretty boring this year. i used to live there, and plus we went there last year. joe, graham, and i decided to go and see a movie. we went and saw the punisher 2. it was pretty funny, which was something that i wasn't expecting. for the whole trip it was just me hanging out with graham and joe. they are what made the trip fun this time around.
after that i flew to kansas city and went to wichita kansas for christmas. i got to see my sister, her son, and her husband. it was pretty fun. for the first two days it was just my sister, tricia and her family. then on the 23rd my mom, dad, and little brother came down to kansas too.
christmas day was pretty fun. my parents and family didn't know what to get me so i got lots of dvds. i got two music books, one for guitar and the other for piano. the dvd's i got were anastasia, kung fu panda, frequency, miss congenialty, sleeping beauty, x-men, and 13 going on 30. i got three new things of finger nail polish, some chapstick, and a dress. all in all it was a very good haul.
i stayed in wichita until the 28th. the night before i left though this huge thunderstom went through wichita and we were in a tornado warning. how bizzare. as we traveled home the next day, i saw that the thunderstorm had turned into an ice storm the farther north we got.
the one cool thing about being home was seeing my family. steven, my little brother, and i had bonding moments. it started new years eve when we watched prince caspian. every night after that we would watch a movie together. it was lots of fun.
the night before i came back out to utah we had another ice storm go through. my mom thought that it would take all day to get to kansas city. we left at 8 in the morning. the first 50 miles were terrible, but after that the roads were clear, and it was 50 degrees outside. it was pretty nice. i didn't fly out until 5:30 and we got to kansas city at noon. we decided to go to liberty jail, and that was cool, and then after that i went and checked through security. it was a long day.
so that leads me back out here to utah. i have 15 credits this semester, and they are easy enough. i have even been cleared to work 25 hours a week here.
that's all that i got for christmas. congrats to holly and shelley for having wonderful babies!!!!
