It's been MONTHS, since I've written! Gesh! So much has been going on!!
So to start off--December!!
Main highlights of December were: My littlest brother, Nathaniel's Birthday and getting to see my little brother Josh on Skype from Nicaragua! OH and my teaching job here in Vegas!
For Nathaniel's birthday, my father took him and I to California to play paintball! It was awesome! We went to this place called SC Village. It has like twenty different set up courses to play on. Such as, an Iraq scene, Bosnia, Vietnam, and many more! It was scary though because I felt like it would really look like that in those places and plus we were competing against people we didn't know! It was so much fun though and I know Nathaniel loved it as a birthday present! After we went paintball-ing for hours we finally got to eat and rest. The next morning, Nathaniel and I went to Santa Monica beach for some fun. Took lots of pictures, walked on the pier, and of course messed around on all the cool playground gym equipment. We had a really fun time and a great birthday for Nathaniel to remember!
Next, was seeing Josh! It was so great and I told myself I wouldn't cry when I saw him...that didn't work at all. As soon as his face popped on the screen I balled!! I miss him like crazy! It was so great to see him! This was the first year that family was away for Christmas. Hillary was with her in-laws, and Shelby was with her in-laws, Josh was gone, and my grandparents were with my Uncle, it was my parents, my little bro and sis, and myself home for Christmas. Extremely small, considering our big family! We were all able to group Skype together! It was awesome! Josh is doing great and loving it there in Nicaragua. Language has been difficult, but I think he is finally getting it. I am, as well, learning Spanish. I think it would be awesome to speak fluently with Josh when he gets home. That's my goal anyway!

Christmas was great! I love spending time with my family... and... I think.. my family loves spending time with me too! My nieces and nephews are getting so big! They are growing so fast! It's crazy to think the my niece Zoie will be 3 years old this year! And my nephew and second niece, Elliot and Charlotte will be turning 1!! It's amazing how time flies..I don't really like that.
Grandpa feeding Elliot Protein!! Big Boy! And Elliot giving me some love!
One last thing to add to the month of December...I moved into Vegas, got a new roommate, and started my new teaching job!! I'm an Art teacher for Brookman Elementary. It's down the street from the LDS Temple! I love it! I really enjoy teaching these children..most of the time. They're really creative and a lot of fun! My roommate's name is Diana and she is awesome! We informally met a couple years ago at an Institute luncheon and now we formally met in our single's ward, both looking for a place to live and decided to search one out for us to get together! She is a Great roommate! We both like things clean and tidy! The month of December was a pretty good month! Good way to end the year!
