NFR

On Wednesday, my mom, my sister Jaden, and I all loaded up and went to Vegas so that we could watch the National Finals Rodeo. (a.k.a. the NFR) I had to work pretty hard to pull that off, what with finals starting tomorrow and all. I convinced my wonderful and loving roommate to turn in an English paper for me, which was the only thing holding me back from going. We got there late Wednesday night, after the rodeo had begun. My aunt and uncle from Arizona, (technically it's my grandma's cousin and his wife, but it's tons easier to call them aunt and uncle) with their three rowdy kids, offered to let us come and eat breakfast at their hotel. In the main eating area of the hotel, there's a built-in pond with swans swimming around, and workers have lettuce that they can give to the kids to feed the swans. It was fun watching the kids feed the swans, and watching the swans (which were really calm, unlike I had suspected they would be)

It's blurry, but this is my aunt Kristy, my Mom, and Jaden, Sammy, Lily and Max feeding the swans at the hotel
Thursday night my mom and I went to the rodeo, while everyone else went to Lion King, the Musical. Then again on Friday night, we went to the rodeo with my Grandma and my sister, Jaden. I can honestly think of no better way to spend a Friday night than at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

And here I am tonight back in good ol' Aurora, Utah. Tomorrow I head back to college for finals. By this time next week I'll be back for almost an entire month during Christmas break. I couldn't be more excited! :) Well, off to bed for me so that I can be rested to take my math final tomorrow. Good thing to get my least favorite subject done and over with first!

What a day

The week before finals is crazy. The teachers seem to pile on more and more homework the closer it gets to finals. It's hard to belive that this semester is almost over. It seems like just the other day I was in the living room with my grandma crying about leaving for college. I know I should be working on my homework that I need to finish before Wednesday morning, but I just can't find the dedication to do it. Good thing I'm leaving on Wednesday to go to... guess where? Vegas baby!!! :) I get a break from the stress and hassles from school to go see some hott cowboys and just enjoy myself. I can't wait! It came just in time too. I've about reached my breaking point. After that finishes my next thing to look forward to is Christmas Break. From December 15th to January 10th. CANNOT WAIT!!! :) I don't think I have ever been so excited for anything! Anyways, I guess I had better get back to work. I'm hoping to survive!

First Blog

So for a while now I have been thinking about getting a blog but have been putting it off. So now when i have a million other things I should be doing, I start a blog. I have read a lot of other people's blogs and find it fun. Since I have issues keeping a journal, but no problem at all updating my status on Facebook, maybe I'll find it easier to update a blog. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm off to do other things I should be doing, like homework and sleeping.
