Wow. I can't believe the Christmas season is in full swing again now... hardly seems like a year. Guess I know now what the Bible meant in that verse that said "life is but a breath and we are as vapors"...hum. But I forget the reference. But you know what I mean, right?
Thanksgiving last week was pretty cool. A wee bit strange, but cool. It's weird not being in the same houses I've gone to every year for as long as I can remember. Oh well, its nice that my aunt & uncle and my grandparents live in town now (they both moved to Walla Walla recently- whereas before they lived about 15 minutes appart both in tiny little towns that had nothing but dinky little grochery stores and you could walk from one end to the other without getting real tired...lol). So this year it was my family & I, my grandparents, my aunt & uncle, my cousin Paul & his wife Kristin, and P & K's two little kids (2 year old Jenna & 7 month year old Joanna). Wasn't sure at first how that'd all be since my last experience with Jenna a year ago nearly drove me insane, but it was all good. Most of the time she was down for a nap anyway *grin*. And her little sister Joanna I'd never seen before so I had no idea what to expect from her. I was kinda assuming the worst though, just because my thought was "Well, she's related to Jenna. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she's just as screamy and ill-tempered". But fortunately, siblings can be very different- Joanna turned out to be absolutely the sweetest baby I've ever met :-) Super cute, uberly happy...oooh yeah. And she only really cried once-- and that was with quite good reasoning; she fell on her face. Ouch. But anywho, all in all it was a pretty good Thanksgiving! I even got to experience shopping on Black Friday for the first time!! Ha, I know, somewhat lame, right? I'm 16 and I've never been to a black friday sale 'till now. What can I say? That's what happens when in the past you've always spent your Thanksgiving in puny little towns. Black Friday at Walmart kinda reminds me of trying to go to the Seattle Aquarium during the whole city's spring break, only with adults crowding you on all sides instead of waist-high kids. Turned out the mp3 player I went to get was sold out though... ah well. So I'm just gonna wait and buy it after my birthday next month after I get a nice collection of Walmart gift cards. (Cause my gparents & aunt + uncle for the past 2 years have both given me $25 gift cards to there, so I'm hoping the tradition will continue so I can get my Sansa Fusion or Phillips Go...go...something or other. ha I forget what it was called.)
So, how was YOUR Thanksgiving?
Oh yeah, and on a side note, if you go on my profile I have a new blog. Potential Ignition. Which is created for the purpose of advertising my photography and artwork online (because I've read that it is easier to get blogs to the top of google's search pages than websites, cause they're more often updated). So I'm hoping maybe random people on the internet will see and maybe give me projects or want to display my stuff :-) We'll see how that all goes. Soooo if you guys know anyone who wants photography, artwork, or anything of the sort, put in a good word for me perhaps? I gotta get my name out there some how. lol. But that blog is the reason this one is now on private- I didn't want random strangers seeing that one and then going to my profile and clicking into this one and stalking me =P
