A Few Christmas Traditions :)

Every Christmas there are a few traditions that we absolutely must do as a family. And tonight we made our yummy Christmas cookies. We also decorate our house "a lot" and when i say "a lot" i mean a lot. Every room is full of trees, lights, and sparkly garland. Last night we watched Charlie Brown’s Christmas :) and last week we went to Jolly Holiday Lights :)
 Earlier this year in school we talked about traditions and why we follow them and why they are important to us. These Christmas traditions are very important to me because I do them with my loved ones :) There are a few new traditions I really would like to try this year, and they are for Jesus. This year I have become much closer to him, closer than ever. And I would like to thank him for his sacrifices and celebrate his wonderful birth :) I would also like if my family will also celebrate the true meaning with me, so this year I want to read the birth of Jesus, out of the bible, as a family. I think that would be a very neat new tradition. And for once, I get to start this one :)

My first blog ever :)

Hi anyone who is actually reading this :) I decided to try a blog because my friend Lauren told me it was a really fun and neat way to express yourself :) so I am, and so far, I’m a bit lost getting my page set up and everything (technology stuff isn’t always my thing, hehe) but otherwise it’s pretty neat so far :)

So I guess I should tell you a bit about myself :) well I’m a freshman and involved in competitive swimming it’s a great sport but it’s so intense and overwhelming at times... I am also really involved in church activities :) The church I go to for all these activities has really taught me so much :) they helped me open my heart up to let god save me :) a few things I am also involved with are speech, chorus, schoolwork, overflow, small group, friends, and family activities. So that’s a bit about me :) you could say life gets a little stressful at times but I have my friends, family, and god to help me during those times :)

Before I get too far into this blog thing, I want everyone to know I’m not the greatest writer, but  hopefully this will help me  :) one more thing… sorry about my obsession with smiley faces, I seriously try to cut down on them each time I text, post, or write something, it’s just so difficult for me!! Guess this is my first blog ever :) bye for now :)
