Winter Jam 2012!!!

WHOO!!! I WENT TO WINTER JAM LAST NIGHT!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!
Okay, random yelling is over. As I said, I went to Winter Jam last night! $10 for 10 bands. AND ONE OF THEM WAS SKILLET!!! I went with my mom, my dad, my brother Paul, my BFF Libby, and her brother (who is also my friend) Zach. It was TOTALLY worth standing in the rain for an hour. They bands there were: Group 1 Crew, Building 429, Newsong, Kari Jobe, Peter Furler, Sanctus Real, and Skillet. And, to be completely honest, I hardly knew any of those songs they played. There were a few Newsboys songs that Peter Furler played, one or two Sanctus Real songs I knew, but nothing I was completely familiar with. And then the last, but DEFINITELY not least, Skillet!

Long Time No Post!

So the crazy, hectic, yet awesome Christmas season is finally over. I have finally found some time to blog. Okay, that's a big lie. I'm just lazy. So this will be one big fun post with everything of some importance that has happened since I last wrote. If you're in a rush... Well, see below. Otherwise, this will be an interesting post.

- I went Christmas shopping at the mall with a bunch of the girls in my youth group
- I had a bunch of friends over during Christmas break! It was AWESOME!!!
- I got some pretty amazing Christmas presents! A big thank you to all of my family and friends!!
- I went to a small New Years party with a few of my friends last night! It was fun!!

So yeah, that's about it. I'll go into more detail further on, but that's a pretty good summary of it!

Christmas Shopping

So it's kind of a tradition in my youth group that all of the girls go Christmas shopping every year. This year was no different. Altogether, there were five of us (plus two adults): Emily, Libby, Nina, Brittany, and me. We went to the big bad mall nearby, which proved to be quite the experience. It was two weeks before Christmas, so the traffic wasn't bad, but Nina is a bit of a shopaholic. Emily and I, on the other hand, don't fequent malls. Libby's somewhere in the middle. Anyways, Nina basically dragged us into some really pointless stores just so that she could buy her own Christmas presents. Long story. Note to self: lock Nina in closet next time we go shopping.

For lunch, we ate at Subway. We had a coupon for three footlongs for $15 or something like that so we split into groups of two. Poor Subway workers, we probably confused them soooo much! But it turned out good, and most of us got all of our shopping done.
