Sarah Brightman concert

Last night I got to go see a fantastic concert with two of my best (California) friends, Jen and Christina. We went and saw Sarah Brightman. I have loved her music for many years and have been so excited since we bought the tickets like 5 months ago.


She has a beautiful voice. So amazing. I was really disappointed that she didn't sing "Time to say Goodbye" with Bocelli vocals in the back or even with one of the other guys she sang with during the show. She sang it by herself and it just wasn't the same. Phantom of the Opera was amazing though. I have seen Phantom 4 times and have never heard the song sang that great. I had goosebumps. I would definately give the concert "two thumbs up"

I got an A

So I have been trying to decide what I want to do when I grow up....It's about time I do that. I decided to tak e a medical terminology class this semester at Sierra College to see if the medical field is for me. Let me tell you I went to college for 3 years (many years ago) and this is the hardest class I have taken. I don't know if it is because I am older and haven't been to school for awhile or because I work lots of hours and have a primary lesson to prepare every week but it was stressful.

BUT it is over and I got a B in the class. Now you are probably thinking then why does the title say "I got an A". Well I got a C on the midterm so my professor said that I had to get an A on the final to get a B in the class. Are you following? Well I got 90 out of 100 questions right and got an A. Iwas so excited. I studied and studied and studied for hours and hours. And it all paid off.

And the result is I do enjoy the medical stuff but I still don't know what I want to be!!!

Christmas time...

So thanks to my great roommate Athina our apartment is now decorated for Christmas. I absolutely love Christmas! When I walked into my apartment after work today I smelled the tree. I love the smell of a real Christmas tree. Our tree is small but we like it. My moms snowflakes that she tatted are hanging on it and thanks to me and Athina's boyfriend, Chris there are white light around the tree....in an organized way (unlike the way Athina had them) and a star on the top.

All the decorations are mine that I have collected through out the years. Some are bought, some are home made, and some were presents given to me. They all are special in there own way.

The stockings were hung on the TV console with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. We don't have a fireplace in this apt like we did in our last so they went on the console. This is the 3rd year we have used these stockings. I can't believe this is my 3rd Christmas in California. Athina bought these stockings for us and wrote our names on them in glittery paint.

I am so happy it is December. I can listen to Christmas music all the time and make Christmas candy (I made toffee as Athina was decorating) The feeling of Christmas in the air it is the best feeling in the world. It will even be better in 21 days when I can go home to Utah and enjoy it with my family and be around the kids.

And of course I can never forget the real meaning for Christmas and reason for the season. That is the celebration of the birth of our Savior. What a great event! I feel his love every day and am happy I am a member of his true church.

This picture was taken by me at the Laie temple in Hawaii.

Merry Christmas everyone!
