Welcome 2011

Good Evening!

Let's see, during the past two weeks I have been in and out of my house( LA, my sister's, Utah, and home), I wrote and finished a book(It is a Christmas Story and I really like it!! :) ), received a ton of presents in all forms, and started the the newest year 2011!!
Overall, I believe it has been pretty exciting.
When my parents and I went down to LA, we were going to a traditional Christmas party which was started by my grandparents. We figured it all out, and this party has been going on for 47 years!! How's that for tradition?
We were in Utah for the New Years with my other grandma and it was freezing, though it didn't snow at all( which I still feel cheated about).
My latest book which I'm hoping to edit soon and then send in is, as I said before, a Christmas story. It is the "true" story of Santa Clause. It was extremely fun writing it. I had told myself I would finish writing it before the New Year so yesterday, I was sitting at my laptop for about 8-9 hours making sure I met my deadline.
Presents included my favorite candy in the world: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, a single serve blender(which is AMAZING!!), makeup, a nativity set from Germany, polka-dot pajamas, and many others presents which helped to make this season the best their was.
My sister is on an 18 month mission in Canada, and we were allowed to speak with her on Christmas Day. It was great to hear her voice and learn about all her experiences since she has been in a new country.
Last, we have all moved into a new year: 2011. It will be a great year, I can feel it, full of joy, love, and happiness. And even though it will also be filled with sorrow, we must remember to press on and continue to do all we can to become better people.
Today in 1/1/11. So tonight at 11:11 P.M. will be the time to make the best wish of all. Me? I'm going to ask to become a better writer.
Have a great New Years Day(What's left of it), and a great New Year. Bring on 2011!
