Are you ready?


IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!

And I am excited! The Christmas Spirit has never touched me so strongly so early... It's like I can't wait to sing Carols and see all the joy everywhere, even if it is snowing! What could make me feel so christmasy? I have no clue, but I love it! I'm thankful for the Joyous Spirit that Christmas carries with it. I'll be doing many a post on Christmas and the Christmas Spirit!

Thought for today: Smile, it makes you look so much prettier.

ANNIVERSERY!!!!!

I've been waiting all month to do this GRAND GRATEFULNESS.

TODAY IS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSERY OF MY BLOG! My blog was started on 11/28/2008 at my grandma's house. (Which at the time was Thanksgiving, I think.) This is my 80th post on this blog in the past year. YAY! Wasn't it 50 at the beginning of the month...? *Laugh* This month has really upped that. You know... I think I should have a hundred by the end of the year. Will that happen? Probably not...

Wow, I'm looking at some of the old posts... Some of them are really funky... People visited my blog a lot more back then!!

I'm thankful for TECHNOLOGY! Internet, Microsoft Word, Blogger, Gmail, Google Talk, The Awesome Forum, Kongregate, Nintendo, Xbox, Microwaves, Oven, Refrigerator, Alarm Clock, Car(!!!!), GameBoy, MP3 player, Cell Phone (That's more trouble than it's worth at times, but still helpful), oh, and my computer. (Don't forget that...) I love technology. (Being the computer nerd that I am) If it wasn't for Internet and Word, I couldn't do homework. If it wasn't for our car, I couldn't go to my school. (Which is six and a half miles away from my house) If it wasn't for Chat, I wouldn't be able to talk with half of my really good friends because they live in bizarre places like Kentucky and Washington. (No offence to those places or the people there, obviously.)

So, HIP HIP HOORAY for this blog and for technology.

Steph!

Tribute time! Here's to Steph!




Thanks for being such a happy, fun person! You're a great person, I love being your friend. Thanks for coming with me today! We need to do this more often :P Love you!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone had a superfantabulousderfulicious thanksgiving! I had a lot of fun up in Brigham City today. We went to my Grandma Hall's house for the afternoon. Then we went to Chuck-A-Rama... that place was PACKED!
I've been saving this one all month for today. GRAND GRATEFULNESS! I'm thankful for Family!

Aunt Jeneil (??? that's how my dad said to spell it...)
Uncle Jared and his wife, Crystal (Who I just met today... how sad is that? I seriously didn't know who she was when I saw her.)
Aunt Megan!

The whole family cooking dinner...

I got a picture of Grandma Hall! It's not the best, but it works.


I love my family! You are all totally fantabulous! I don't know what I would do without you.

Books!

I'm thankful for books today!

They're making a Lightning Theif Movie... so excited for that...

I love reading books. It's relaxing and it's always interesting. Well... almost always interesting... I don't really like it when I have to evaluate the book or anything like that....

Reading is great, isn't it?

QUOTES!

"Speak not of such things, for they are but bad memories. Come, my dear, and smile for me, for that will be the memory which I will want to keep."

"Sometimes a smile in a person's eyes can be worth more than any words that they can say."

"I am the type of guy who will not only defeat you, but dance around and laugh and sing while doing it."

"My brain isn't moving slowly, it's moving at a lightning fast pace- in the wrong direction."

"Please give me your name, so I can properly tell you to shut your mouth."

"You know... this is a good lesson for all of us. You never know who's in the chicken suit."


Don't you just love quotes? All of these above are quotes by me. I like to write quotes, it's one of the things I write, along with my poems and songs. But I also like quotes from other people.


"Death would look AWESOME in a chicken suit!" -Elizabeth Pena

"Intellegence comes with fear of failure."- Samgee

"Don't worry eighth graders, there's a special place in my foot for you." -Kip Saunders


Here's some Stuckiisms!


Stucki: You guys should really take notes of things I say.
Riley: Should... Take... Notes...

Stucki: (Getting a note from the office.) Rachel, you need counsling.
(Getting another note from the office.) Alex!
Samgee: Does he need counsling, too?
Riley: Maybe... he sits behind Rachel...

Stucki: Las Vegas... is a waste of real estate.
Ty: How? It's in the middle of Nevada.
Stucki: No, it's on the edge of Nevada. Everything in Nevada is on the edge, because there's nothing in the middle.
Anastasia: Cactuses refuse to live there...
Ty: Okay, but still. It's in Nevada.

Stucki: Oh, by the way... if your essay has a hole in it, it either means it bugged the crap out of me... or it was under one that bugged the crap out of me.

Stucki: Don't put "hopefully" in your essay.
Ty: There is no hope in Stucki's class.

Samgee: How do you spell "Takami"?
Stucki: I-D-I-O-T

Stucki: For all you know, Saunders is a big dork.
Jarom: There's nothing wrong wtih being a dork.
Stuck: Says the dork.

Jarom: Okay, am I just completely stupid or what?
Everyone around: Yes.

Paige: Mr. Stucki, if I wasn't such a Molly Mormon I would really want to flip you off right now!

I'm thankful for Quotes!

Long Gratitude...

I feel so hyper and thankful.

Yesterday in Priesthood we were supposed to have a lesson on the value of woman, but Brother McEntyre wanted to have a lesson on Gratitude, and we only had 15 minutes and no lesson prepared because Tate bailed at the last moment... so we went around and named things we were grateful for, with focus on the women we were thankful for.
I decided there are three groups of women I am very grateful for. You could say this is a grand gratefulness, or just a bunch of small ones but together. Take your pick.

1. My Mom! She could go in the next category, but I think she deserves her own. My mom is the best.

Wow, I really don't have many photos of her... so here's one from her birthday...
2. All the other girls in my family. I have awesome grandma's, a weirdo fun little sister, cool aunts and cousins...

Grandma Norris... Daggett, I can't find any pictures of Grandma Hall... lame sauce... I'll have to get some on Thursday...

And here's a picture of my beautiful little sister... I think this was right before she was baptised.

This is my awesome aunt Megan and her dog Stintson (??? on spelling) She's my mom's youngest sister. Oh, and she (and my aunt Anna) is having a baby! Yay for cousins!

And this is my cousin Summer. She's really cool. This and the picture above it were taken at our Family Campout this last summer.
3. All my fabulous friends! I have friends in my ward, in my school, and across the country!
My friends at school. Rachel, Bekah, Mikayla, and Allie. He he... I love my friends...
Here's Maya! Funny how the only good pictures I have of Maya (besides the one of her in her Halloween costume) all have Quin in them...
Kat, at the dance on Saturday. Wow, what fun...

Lisa, my best friend in Kentucky! (Okay, so she's only one of two friends in Kentucky... one of which I don't know very well...) Here's her at Ed Week.

So, here's a big YAY for all of the terrific women in my life! I love all of you!

Daniel!

Tribute time! (I feel kinda weird sometimes when I say that because sometimes it makes me think of the tribute as in sacrifice...)


Here's to Daniel!



You're a great friend! It's funny how when it comes to little things I feel like I can't trust anyone, but when it comes to bigger, more important things I can trust people like Daniel to not tease me or anything. Thanks for coming with us to the dance last night!

Feast

I've always thought that word interesting... I don't know why. It's sort of a majestic, kingly word, don't you think? That's what it reminds me of. Am I weird?

Of course.

So, we just had our thanksgiving dinner. Dad won't be here on Thursday until later, and we're going up to Brigham City for most of the day, so we did dinner tonight.

So I decided I was thankful for food. Food is such a fine thing... it keeps us all alive. And if we didn't have that...

Yeah. Happy thoughts!

My Master's Soldier

Time for a big GRAND GRATEFULNESS!

I'm thankful for the gospel. I love the church. It brings so much happiness and understanding to my life. I love the feeling of the spirit. I love knowing that I am a child of God. I love knowing that he loves me. I love how everything just fits together.

I wrote a poem the other night. You could call it my standared, my title. It's posted on my poems blog. Some of you already heard it in Seminary class.

Love you all! I gotta go get ready for the dance tonight, now...

Programming

The other day, as I was working in the HTML for the blog, it reminded me why I wanted to be a programmer... becaue I really like figuring these things out!!!

SO... I was thinking about maybe programming another game. There are a few things I need, though...

First of all, I suck at Computer Graphics. I can't make good sprites, backgrounds, etc.
Second, I might ask Jeremiah to help me with the music.
Third, I actually need ideas for what to make!

This is all if I even do it. I kinda have a lot of projects I'm working on, so... yeah.

I'm thankful for programming today.

Peanut Butter

Umm.... Umm... UMM.....

What am I thankful for today...

I'm thankful for... Peanut Butter. I like peanut butter. It's good in candy.

Now I have to leave. Bye.

New and Improved Blog!

Well, I think I've finally weaseled my blog into something I like.
I love being able to know how to do things like mess with the HTML code. I'm especially proud of that code that I did to get my page links up at the top of the page.

And then I go and talk to Tim, who is writing some program from scratch...

So anyways, tell me what you like and think could be better.

Also, I posted one of the poems on my poetry section. Go to my Gallery (there's a link at the top, now) and then through there to my Poems.

Love y'all!

Poetry

As you can see, my blog is now new and improved. Jeremiah thought that my old template was ugly. And I decided it needed to be changed anyways. So It is.

We'll see how this works. I'm in somewhat unfamiliar waters with this one, and it's all wierd. But I've worked the HTML a little to how I like it. Almost....

So for English class we have to find a picture and a song and write poems about them. I'm currently listening to some of Jeremiah's songs to write a poem about.

I am grateful for poetry, and for writing in general. I like writing, and people tell me I'm really good at it.

When I finish this, I might post it.

TAG!

We are BACK ONLINE!
Holy Fire-Breathing Chickens, that was nuts. My communications totally died, and I couldn't talk with anyone by Jeremiah and Mandi. Kat totally freaked, Mandi laughed at me, and Jeremiah was frantically trying to help me. I'm really worried about all these computer failures.

Anyways, I got tagged by Kat! (Don't remember what that means? It means that if I tag you at the end, you have to fill out the same thing I did!)

Favorites
Candy/Sweet: White Chocolate or Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
Movie: Umm... That's hard... I like Battle for Terra, and I really want to see Lord of the Rings!
Color: Sky Blue!
Accessory: Glasses, Watch, and CTR ring!
Piece of Clothing: Jacket (My mom made me get a new one... it's okay though)
Thing to do: Write, Hang out with friends, play video games.
Quote: "I have a desk." (That's subject to change soon. It always is.)
Food: Umm.... I dunno. See the first one, I guess.
Book: The Lightning Thief, Eragon,
Word: SUPERFANTABULOUSDERFULICIOUS!
Name: Hold on, let me find the conversation we had on this... Ah, here's my list! (Yes, I have a list. It's probably not complete, though.) Dawn, Summer, Skyler, Maya, Aerin, Katlyn, Tyraneus, Darius, Seth.
Piece of Jewelry: Umm... CTR Ring!
TV Show: Wipeout

I tag Elizabeth, Jeremiah, Matthew, and Mom!

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Our communications systems are breaking up! We can't chat with anyone but Mandi and Jeremiah! Kat and Cailey and Garrett are also online, but our systems say that they're not! Our systems have been going haywire!

(I'm grateful when things work...)

TOTAL RANDOMNESS

What am I thankful for today?

Well, seeing as I'm being kind of insane today, and I'm going to be logged off by parental controls in 15 minutes, I'm thankful for Randomness!

Being Random can be really fun sometimes. Really interesting sometimes. Really annoying sometimes. It's all random, you know?

Hmm... maybe tomorrow will be a random hug day.... HMMMM....

ALJFALS;JDROUWQEOPNVQWREMZVZ,.XCNVADRFJWEFJWOPEJFQWOPMLEQWVML;JASDFJISN'TRANDOMNESSJUSTTHEBEST?

Why am I feeling so punny today, really? I have no idea. Did anyone even get that last one? Of all the random things....

November 15th

Needed to post today (Kat missed a day! And she'll miss two if she doesn't post soon...) But couldn't think of anything deep to say especially because I'm getting off pretty quickly, so I'd thought I'd just say

I'm thankful for Dances!

Funny how and the beginning of August I honestly had no desire to go to a dance. Then came education week. All of a sudden I want to dance. Why? I honestly haven't the slightest clue. But all of a sudden I want to go to one.

So I did. And I loved it!

Last night I went with Kat to her region dance. Her region is a lot smaller than ours... there was actually a lot of space to walk around and to do the wild "Swing Dance" that Sam taught me. *Laugh* I met Kat's friend Sam Boldrin (Kat says she doesn't know her real last name... apparently it's different at School and on Facebook, so I'm going to use her school last name...) She really knows how to dance. Every time I looked to find her she was teaching someone new some new dance! She taught me how to swing and how to dip. I danced with 7 girls, which brings my average up to 5 girls per dance. (Yes, I keep track... that's how my mind works, okay?)

A HUGE Thank-You to Kat for inviting me to the dance. I had a TON of fun.

Total Awesomeness. That's all I have to say.

Let it burn, Let it burn, Let it burn...

I decided today that I was very grateful for Summer. Why?

BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING COLD OUTSIDE!

I love the summer. It's bright, it's warm, you can go outside and play, or just read a book...

Winter, not so much. They always say "Well, in winter, you can go inside and sit by the fire."

Which is all fine and dandy, except that our only fireplace is outside. On the snow covered patio. Nice.

I was actually really worried that Daniel and Evan were going to show up Monday after school with snowballs, yelling "Get to the Van... or else."

Then I remembered that snowballs are banned at school.

And to think I used to hate that policy... Hallelujah.

I was shoveling the drive today... and Spencer walked by... and for half of a moment I thought about throwing snow at him... but then I realized that there was a fine line between being a playful older brother and being a total jerk, and that was two miles on the wrong side.

Especially because I just KNOW that Daniel and Evan are now waiting for the first opportunity to throw snowballs at me. Stupid Snow Demons....

So, yeah. I'm a sunshine person. I walked out of my house this morning, and you could practically feel the dreary weight of how grey it was. Blech.

My mom's a meany. (And paste won't work on my blogger for some reason... grr...)

norrisnewsandnonsense.blogspot.com/2009/11/shoveling-snow.html

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

It's Friday the Thirteenth, and Evil is in the air!

(Except the air inside the seminary building... I found that interesting. *Laugh* I muttered something about doing some rituals to ward away spirits, and the look of horror on Paige's face was priceless...)

Has evil touched you yet? I should hope not. Where the heck is mine coming from??

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I feel like Dr. Jackel and Mr. Hyde right now, seriously. I feel evil. Which is wierd for me. But it's starting to get more common... Evil Fiends! Begone!

You know what I just really wanted to do today? Wear my cape. I said "To Sheol if I look like a fool. I'm going to put it on and then take pictures of me with it on!" Of course, saying to Sheol if I look like an fool didn't change that I look very foolish. Especially considering I'm wearing jeans under said cape.



(That's supposed to be an animated gif I created. Does anyone see it that way?)

I am grateful for Mythology. For those of you who don't know, I am a big mythologist. I specialize in Greek Mythology and Dragonology, but I like almost all forms of mythology. And yes, Friday the Thirteenth is part of a branch of mythology (I'm not entirely sure the name of the branch. Some mythologists call it "Popular Mythology" some call it "Western Mythology" and some call it "American Mythology", none of which I think are completly suiting names.)

Beautiful Flow of Sound

Today's been a rather musical day (Wait a minute... side thought, I'm listening to Christmas Music... We must be getting close to December.) Why? I'm not sure. I've had this one song stuck in my head all day, and been humming it to myself. I keep taking out my MP3 player to listen to it. (Between classes, that is)

So I decided to do that I'm grateful for Music! Music is such a great thing, isn't it? It's very enjoyable, and it's a good form of expression, an art, a culmination of rhythmic flow, aesthetic sound, and meaningful poetry.

Plus, I write songs. I gotta at least appreciate it for that, right?

Teaser: I'm actually in the middle of a few songs. He he. Be looking for those.

School

Has anybody else noticed that the "Blogs I read" thing on the side bar doesn't work anymore? I mean, it tells me when Kat and Mom post, and that's it. Everybody else it says hasn't posted in a while, even though they have. This is happening on other blogs to. It kinda bugs me to see that people's blogs say I haven't posted in a week when I've been posting every day. Urk.

So I noticed today that I got a lot of compliments from my teachers. In English class, we were sharing ideas, which I usually do, but I felt like I didn't really have anything to add today, but Mrs. Thurnau said "I'm still wanting to hear from a few of you... Josh and Jarom, what are your thoughts?" I was kinda surprised. After I shared what I was thinking, she said "The reason I picked out a few of you is because you're more of the Creative Writers."

Even my English Teacher thinks I'm a creative writer. I should start listening to people when they give me compliments.

In Math, Mr. Saunders said I have "A lot of good points." About the random things I commented on throughout the class.

That's high praise from Mr. Saunders. He doesn't like my name. "Jarom? That's weird."

In Gym, we played football and I ran down the guy with the ball. Coach Mikel was like "I cannot believe he just caught you... Jarom, I had no idea you were so fast!"

I told him that that speed lasted for ten seconds before my side hurt and I was out of breath. (And lo and behold, that was exactly what happened to me by the end of the game.)

So, I decided to do one of my GRAND GRATEFULNESS's. I'm thankful for SCHOOL!

School is awesome. I get to go and hang out with my friends and learn things and laugh at teacher's for 8 HOURS A DAY!

The only down spot is homework.

(P.S. I updated the Mandi Post with some pictures she sent me.)

Boo!

SOOOOOOOO I couldn't think of something unique today, and didn't want to think too hard, so I went to my list of things I've been putting off because Kat keeps taking them and picked something.
I'M THANKFUL FOR ANIMALS. Especially cute, playful, cuddly ones. And doubly especially this one right here:


This is one of my best pictures of him... if only I could rotate it...

Can you tell that we have more pictures of him than anyone else? That's because he's the easiest to take pictures of, especially because he's a dork and so he'll do something wierd and we'll be like GO GET THE CAMERA!
So, yeah, this is my cuddly bundle of fun, Boo. Isn't he just the most cluelessly adorable thing you've ever seen?

Things to Strive For

I'm thankful for things to strive for. Things to work for. Things to work and strive to become. Here's a few of the things that I am always trying to be.

  1. A better person! I always want to be better. There's always some way I can improve.
  2. A good friend. I want to be a good friend to everyone. I want people to see me as a good friend.
  3. An intellectual. A wise man. Someone who knows what they're talking about, someone who always has good advice and a good view of things, who can use his knowledge and wisdom to help people.
  4. A gentleman. Many of you know that that's something I really want to be. I want to be the one of whom people think "Wow... he's so nice. So courteous." (Plus I have a really big pet peeve for people who aren't courteous.)
  5. A servant. I love to help people. It just brightens up my day. I want people to know that when they need help with anything, weather it's a math problem, an opinion, or they just need something carried for them, they can always count on me.
  6. A shoulder to cry on. This goes with the previous one. I want to be the person that people know they can count on. The person that my friends know cares about them, a lot. The person that people know they can go to, because I'll always care.
  7. A pillar of strength. An example. Someone that somebody can look to and see a hero, a role model. Some who is strong and is always willing to share his strength.
  8. A spiritual giant. Someone who has a deep spirit, and you can tell when they talk. Someone who can bring the spirit into something, and who always has it with them.
  9. A fountain of joy. An exciting person. Someone who just radiates happiness. Someone who you look at their smile and you can't help feeling happy yourself. Someone who people enjoy being around because he's never dull or boring.
  10. Remembered. I want remember me as all of the things above. I want people to think of me and think "He was one of the kindest people I knew. He was a good friend, a great person, and he always wanted to help me."
Maybe I'm a rambling lunatic. But that doesn't matter. What matters is how people will think of you. And it doesn't matter if they don't like your clothes or they think you're ugly. But it does matter if they think you're a jerk or a gentleman. I hope to be the person that people like simply because I was the person who brightened their day.

The Little Freak just got Freakier.

Yep, you got it. Today is Robby's Birthday. Yeah, the little weirdo who gets on my chat and tries to pretend to be me, but always fails because he can't spell. ("What? I thought 'Maybe' was spelled 'm-a-b-e-y'!") The little weirdo who come to mutual with me and makes CARL cover his ears. The little weirdo that carries invites to parties from my friends at Sunset Ridge in return for being able to come to the party.

But here's the weird thing: Today he turns 13. Yep, he's a teenager! O.o (He he... I've never used that smiley before.)

So, my little weirdo is now a priesthood holder, middle-schooler, teenager.

*Laugh*... When he went into middle school, I asked a couple of my friends to befriend him. One of them was Raechel's little sister, Elaine, but I asked Raechel if Elaine couldn't stand him yet, and she said "Yeah. She couldn't stand him from the start." One of the other one's was Jaden, and she said "Robby's okay... I just don't approve of his friends." I freaked out a little at this, but then I was like "Who does he hang out with??" And she said "That Michealis boy..." (For those of you who don't know, that Michealis boy is Jaron Michealis, who I used to carpool with. Jaden can't stand him. Then again, neither can I sometimes.)

So, Here's to Robby, my little weirdo, my little buddy!




I got him this poster... These Book Of Mormon Hero Posters are really cool! His heroes are the Army of Heleman. Mine is Captain Moroni.
Thanks for being a fun person. Thanks for being my little weirdo. I hope that we can be friends- After all, I have a lot to teach you as you're going through Middle School!

Mandi!

I, uh, found this post that I wrote on tuesday and meant to post on wednesday, but I kinda forgot. Heh heh...

And I quote:

"4th of November, here's a tribute to my friend Mandi!


These are pictures she sent me from her birthday party. Oh... Miss ya lots, Mandi!
Thanks for being such a great friend. You're always really nice and really funny, and I really enjoy talking to you. You can really make my day sometimes. We need to hang out again sometime! (Next time you're, you know, in the state ;) )

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Yeah. It was her birthday on Wednesday. So here's your late birthday wish!

AAAAHHHHH!!!!!

I FORGOT TO POST YESTERDAY! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(And to think, I was about to laugh at Kat for missing a day.)

ER....... Yeah. I lost.

So here's yesterday's post.

Guess what I did today? I spent the entire day going around the school and hugging all of my friends! Yep, ALL OF THEM. Well, I might have missed a few. But oh well.
It started kinda funny. I was walking before school, and I was like "Hmm.... I think I'll give out hugs today." Then I told Ty. He he... oh Ty. Me and him are "The Gansta and the Gentleman." (Not respectively. He's the gangsta. Hmmm... maybe I should write a story about that.) So anyways, I told him, and he instantly took it to his advantage. "You should give Landon a hug!" So I did. Why not? Once Ty saw that I was serious, he dragged me around for the rest of the day telling me to hug everyone we passed. Some people seemed really happy, some people were like "Okay... there goes insane Jarom." And some were too shocked to move. (Cory started hyperventilating...)

So here's one of my GRAND GRATEFULNESS! (Meaning something that I'm really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really thankful for!

I AM THANKFUL FOR FRIENDS~!

Friends are the most awesome thing ever. Friends are what make me happy every day! Friends are what give me the joy and energy to start randomly dancing, or to just hug everybody!

So... now we've all got to start hugging more often. Yay!

Power Cells

Well, I was going to do that I'm thankful for Music, but that's what Kat did yesterday. :P She beat me to it. (I'll probably do it, just not right after she did.)

I'm thankful for batteries.
They're like tiny little containers of POWER! So much electrical energy within this little cell... It boggles the mind. Whoa... am I going poetic about a battery? You better believe it.
I'm doing a research project on batteries, too.
So I'm thankful for those little things that power all my little gadgets, all our little technologies. I read that the average American throws out 8 batteries a year. My camera has used at least twice that since summer started. It drains those suckers.

Insanity. I've got a lot of it. Want some?

Candy!

You know what I was thinking today? With candy, there are like two catagories. Friuty, and Milk. (You know- chocalate, caramel, etc.) And I noticed that in that catagory, it seems like the lighter color it is, the better it tastes. (Just me, though) Like the best is White Chocolate, which is better than caramel, which is better than milk chocalate, which is better than dark chocolate.

Random? Good.

So, with that, I'm thankful for Candy! Also Random, especially because I don't eat that much. But I did eat more than usual today, because I had a ton in a box and was bored and falling asleep. (Not that the cany helped with the falling asleep, that still happened.) So... yeah. Love you all!

West Jordan!

Oooh... What to talk about today... I'm thankful for so many things, but which one...

*Snap*

I'm thankful for the place I live. I'm working on a Geography Project about West Jordan and Salt Lake County. I'm so glad that I live here, where I have so many oppurtunities, so many great friends and neighbors.

Thanks, Mom!

Day Two. I think I'll double this and make it a tribute, too. Here's to MOM!


Thanks for everything that you do for all of us. Thanks for your service, your advice, your love, and all you do to try and keep our family happy. You're the greatest!

Thanksgiving Month

Heyo! My mom does this thing where every day of November, she posts about something she's grateful for. I decided I was going to try that. Seems like a cool tradition or something. So here's November first.

So guess what? This is my 50TH POST! YAY! Also, and November 28th I'll be celebrating the 1 year anniversery of this blog! Yay! I'm very grateful for this blog. And all my friends blogs. Blogging is so fun!

So yeah, some of these grateful things will be wierd, some will be random, and some will be very deep and thoughtful. I'll probably do several tributes. Stay tuned!
