Wow its December.

Hey all! Sorry you didn't hear from me for a month, but my life is very very boring, so there really isn't a whole lot to write about. I figured, I better get on here and write something while I have time.
I have recently finished up my fall semester, just finals week is left and I only have to go in for one final, which is awesome. Then I get a month off until spring semester starts up again. I thought I could be graduating in the spring, but it looks like that won't be happening. So if all works out, which it should, I should be done with school by december of next year. YEE HAW!!!! And here is the scary thing, I'm thinking about going to Grad School. How crazy is that? I have no idea what I'm thinking, but thats what I'm considering right now. I'll probably take a year off to make up my mind completely, but thats the idea floating around.
Daryl and I went to Kansas for Thanksgiving this year and that was a lot of fun. We got to spend time with our nephews and niece, as well as the rest of the family of course. We blew up a boat, a couple pumpkins, and an old stove while there. It was awesome. I really need to put some videos on here, you guys would love them. I also went to see the movie Twilight. Yes I like those books, but I'm not obsessed like some girls are. Those people are like the people who are obsessed with Harry Potter. I think they need help. :) Anyways, I liked the movie and was happy that I got to go and see it.
Then on Black Friday, I went with my mother in law and sister in law, shopping. It actually wasn't as bad in Manhattan, Kansas as it gets here in Utah. Probably because there aren't as many people there, I don't know. It was busy and Kate, my sister in law, almost got ran over in the Walmart by some crazy lady. And that was around ten o'clock, after the majority of crazys are supposed to be gone. But I was able to find some awesome deals and I am completely done with Daryl's Christmas gifts! YEAH!!!!!
The only other thing that I've been doing is working on my photography. I won't be able to enter any of my work in the student show at Weber, because you have to frame everything and I don't have any money for that right now. But there is a statewide competition that I'm entering in January that I could win some money in. I'm not planning on winning anything, but you never know. I'll put some of my work in this blog so you can see my latest stuff. My final project I found a cemetery out in the middle of Skully Valley UT, that was really interesting. There used to be a town there name Iosepa (pronounced, Yoseepa) which means Joseph in Hawaiian. These were all polynesian/hawaiian people that moved to Salt Lake to be closer to the Mormon church and moved out into the desert to make a city for themselves. All that is left of the town is the cemetery and I found it very intriguing. The descendants of these people have a celebration there every Memorial Day weekend to commemorate their ancestors. I'll try and put some of those pictures on here. Anyways, that was my most recent project.
The only other thing happening is my car decided to die on us, the transmission went out. So we had to get that replaced and that cost us an arm and a leg. YIKES! So Daryl is already looking for something else to replace it with. It looks like my Christmas present could be a new car. :) I'm kidding, we're going to hold off for at least a month or two and hopefully find a great deal. Which is very possible. I'll keep you all posted on that.
Anyways, I guess thats all for now. See ya all next time!!!!
This first pic is one I did out at the Great Salt Lake. I put the flowers out there and took it. The other pics are all from my photography final.
