YAY it snowed!

 

 

This lasted about half-an-hour till we came inside to get warmed up.

Driving

I had to take a class on driving so I could get my license. It was kinda boring, but SUPER important that I learned about everything they taught me. The only reason why I had to do the class to get my license was because a boy name Joshua died. Well, that sounds like I'm blaming him. Actually, I'm sad he had to die so we had to take a class about driving. Joshua died because he didn't know EVERYTHING about driving. Yes, he had his license, but he didn't know about hydroplaning, which is how he died. In the class I learned about how to drive, back-up, freeways/highways, pedestrians, and texting. Texting was talked about a lot. It is important to talk about. So many teenagers died because they were sending one word or 4 words to someone. I was scared that maybe that would happen to me. But I know if I follow the rules it won't happen. Your more likely to get into a car crash by texting on your phone then by drinking. 100,000+ get in car crashes a year by texting and driving. This is an important subject. I don't want to lose my life over a text message. IT CAN WAIT

Am I seeing stripes?

How obsessed am I with zebra stripes? On a scale 1 to 10, hmm........ maybe an 11:D See for yourself.

                                             This is about half of what I have that's zebra.

       I have

• fabric
• sunglasses
• hair things
• clothes
• jewelry
• bathroom stuff
• stapler and tape dispenser
• makeup brushes

                                                           Now for a quick zebra fact:
                                      Did you know zebras are black with white stripes?

                                                         

                                                             Now my lovely models

Drum roll please FOR THE AWESOMEST ZEBRA ITEM YOU WILL EVER SEE!

(Drum roll)

 

ZEBRA MICKEY EARS!!!!!!!! (modeled by Stitch)

These are my all-time favorite zebra item I have!

 

 

I've actually started growing out of zebra "collecting" if that's what you would call it.

I think zebras are really unique and beautiful animals. One reason I love zebras are because each stripe on a zebra is different, meaning not one zebra in the whole entire world is the same. That's just like all of us, not one of us are the same. But they are all the same animal and created by God, just like us! Kinda cheesy, but it's true.

"From sea to shining sea"

Aren't these the cutest charms ever?!

 

They are the states made out of polymer clay. Just a cute simple charm to wear on your necklace!

 

Here is the video that I got the idea from, if you want to try it out!

It's beginning to sound like Christmas

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is to listen to Christmas music. Its fun to hear all of them and I never get tired of listening to Christmas music. Well, I started listening to Christmas music pretty early this year, thanks to Clarissa and Hanna. I caved and listened to it a week before Halloween. I usually start listening to Christmas music on Thanksgiving or Black Friday.

           Here is my top 10 favorite Christmas songs:
          10.Let It Snow, Let It Snow by Michael Buble
              9.Winter Wonderland by Johnny Mathis
        8.It's Christmas Time Again by The Backstreet Boys
           7.Do They Know It's Christmas by Band-Aid
                6.White Christmas by Bing Crosby
5.O' Come All Ye Faithful by Josh Groban ft. Mormon Tabernacle Choir
            4.Underneath the Tree by Kelly Clarkson
             3.God Bless Us Everyone by Celine Dion
            2.Christmas in Heaven by Scotty McCreery
        1.Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

I love all Christmas music, some uplift me, bring up memories, and just are fun to sing/dance too. I can't wait for Christmas!

Happy Birthday DJ!!!

Today is my best friends birthday!!! His name is DJ Paap and he turned 16 today! My friend Lauren and I decided to throw him a surprise party. We did it right after seminary. It was awesome!!!

                                                                  He had no idea!!

We were talking to DJ about what he wanted for his birthday, and he said he didn't want anything. Well of course we got him something! Actually many things:). Everyone was supposed to bring him a random key-chain for when he gets a car.

These are his lovely key-chains.

DJ said when he turned 16 he wanted his first kiss. So I go him a giant KISS. And Lauren got him a kit to help him out.

Super creative!!!

It was really fun! He was happy and laughing!

His reaction to Lauren's gift was priceless.

Eric had a lot of fun with the party horn thingies.

 

 

Happy 16th Birthday DJ!!

 

(DeeJay is his nickname:)

We actually surprised him like 3 times. At the beginning of seminary we sang him "Happy Birthday" instead of the hymn. He had no idea what was going on. Then his party. And then we followed him to school and seriously announced to everyone at school that it was his birthday.

 

 

 

 

Leaves are falling everywhere!

Temple Square is so beautiful!

Fall is my favorite season because everything is changing colors. Yes it happens at every season, but I feel like the colors are brighter and better. Nature is a wonderful thing. Summer is over, and there is school, but your one more season closer to Christmas!!!

 

Every time I go outside I see the leaves changing colors and the weather is getting cooler. I just love it! I put all my summer stuff away and go digging for my hats and giant scarves and enjoy being outside. I actually spend more time outside in the fall than I do in the summer (that's cause its really hot here.)

 

Autumn Equinox happened September 22, which is when the equator passes the center of the sun. Right now its spring in Australia. I love it how God created 4 different seasons, so everyone can experience hot, cold, warm, etc.

 

And of course we can't forget all the holidays that happen in the fall. Halloween and Thanksgiving. We get to spend time with family and friends which is something I love to do.

My Halloween was really fun! I spent it with my friends by playing games, eating A LOT, taking pics, and having an awesome time. I was a bit sore the next day, but it was totally worth it. I do have to admit that I started listening to Christmas a week before Halloween. I tried so hard, but Christmas music is just the bom-diggity-bom.

The weather here has been very nice. There were some cold days, but big scarves always help. There has been some really warm days, and those days I was wearing boots, long pants, and long sleeves. So I have to check the weather every day just in case.

 

 

I'm so not good at taking pics, but here are some that I found on the Internet;)

 

 

 

Hope your enjoying your fall weather!
