over the river and through the woods to the wrong house grandmother goes??????

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS TO THE WRONG HOUSE GRANDMOTHER GOES???
(thank you Kevin for the title)



So can I talk about how much of a failure I am to the blog world. I totally forgot I even had a blog with how much has been going on in my life. I have probably had one of the most horrible life changing semesters ever and am now starting to question everything I have chosen for my life path except the final destination.I know I want to be a performer in the theater no matter what anyone tells me it is my passion. I have never found anything in this world that I love more. I may love other things equally but that is ok because I believe you can love more than one thing. I could not imagine my life without theater and to think that anyone had me second guessing that for even a second is crazy. I have been battling with what I was going to do with my future semesters and I woke up one night and had an epiphany. There is a reason God has put this drive and passion in my heart. Since I was 8 years old I have longed to be in the theater. That is my final destination to be a happy and successful performer in musical theater. Because of this destination I have decided that it is time for me to open a new chapter in this book that we call life. Its time to flip from Chapter 20 Liberty year 3 to Chapter 21 search for a future. I know that sounds cheesy but that is so true. As I go into this next year I will not worry about what other people think I should be doing in my life. There will be some directors that like you and some that don't, welcome to theater. That is not going to shut me down. This business is about giving it you all and I always do. Sometimes a perfect audition is not enough because there are some people in life you will never please.Now onto a very joyous part of this post Christmas.
I was so blessed this Christmas to be able to celebrate Jesus Christ with my church family. I had the opportunity to share a solo that night that truly touched my heart. I have heard constant words of praise from it and that is truly awesome but how do you respond to that when I want that praise to be going to God. I want to be a humble servant and allow everyone to know how glad I was that God used me to touch them. But I also want them to be able to look past the, "oh you have a beautiful voice that was great" and be able to say, "wow that really touched me praise God for the gift he has given you". Because that is how I feel praise you for this gift God. I consider it a blessing and honor to be able to share about you through song.Now onto my Christmas day.

Christmas was pretty much a constant crazy first on Christmas eve we always have this family part and for the past 3 years it has been at my Aunts. Well my grandma decided that she wanted to get there right away after church so she had some friends drop her off. Well she tells them how to get there and they let her out. She goes to the door and knocks noticed the door is unlocked lets herself in a waives goodbye to her ride. They pull out and a little girl comes up to her in the house.. Grandma looks around and says she thinks she is in the wrong house but he little girl reassures her she is not and to come on in. Grandma walks into this house and realizes that this is clearly not the right place says something again and the littler girl again says no no this is the right place. It is not until she looks s at the furniture she realizes actually that this is wrong. so the people let her call my aunt who's phone is answered by my cousin who messes with her until he hears I am in the wrong place. He at first jokes no your not , then he realizes she is actually at the wrong house. Needless to say interesting night. Now to the exact Christmas schedule.

8-3:30 work
4:00-8:30 church Christmas eve service's
9:00-10:00 presents with Mom
10:00-12:00 Christmas Eve Party(the one Grandma could not find)
12:30-9am sleep
9am-11:30 wake up and open gifts at dads
12-3 Grandma Sylvia's
3-9 Grandma Virginia's
9-12 James and Allyson's
12:30 BED


So imagine in the midst of this schedule a hospital trip...So Grandpa was draining the potatoes slipped and poured boiling water all over his hands. You have never heard so many people yelling. Everyone wanted to look at it or get him to get out of the kitchen and for some reason he wanted to stay and keep helping grandma now, that is dedication. But luckily After the family calmed down someone convinced him to go to the emergency room. You could tell grandpa was in pain so they my uncle him down to join the many other holiday fiasco injuries. He has second degree burns and when he arrived home was on enough drugs to kill a horse.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS lol It was crazy hectic as always but I was blessed. And you know that wish list a shared a while ago? I got almost everything on it. Including a camera so, I will be able to share actual photos I have taken with you all!!!!! I am going to make a list for you all since I love list of

5 of the awesome gifts I received!!!!!!
Nikon Cool Pics
I was so happy to get a digital camera. Mine has been broken for a while now and was truly blessed to get this to officially begin to document life again. Thank you Kevin for standing out in the cold black Friday you asked me if it was worth it and I say TOTALLY ps: this was on my things I want but prolly won't get list a while back
Glitter Toms
These were also on that prolly won't get list but my awesome little brother got these for me. I love them and can not wait to wear them all the time. Plus he helped someone else out with this gift. Now a child in a third world country will have shoes to protect their feet.
Miche Bag
This is one gift that I had said I really was not sure I would want but now that I have this bag I love it I think it is good for anyone who can not keep a clean purse and likes to change up their look frequently. The inside has a lot of pockets to help you keep things organized and the outside is free to change in 15 seconds any day!!
CLOTHS and MAKEUP
I got so many new outfits for Christmas I was so excited. I am officially styling from head to toe in forever 21. AS for makeup I got 7 eyeliners, a 40 color eyeshadow :), and countless nail polish. Also I will be shopping later using my Sephora gift card!!!! So look out a new favorite products may be coming your way.
A day full of family
This was the best part about the day. I got to spend it with my family who I don't get to see near enough. Although it included lots of driving, grandma getting lost, and a trip to the hospital the day was so awesome!!!

  1. Your Awesome! Throughly enjoyed this post and I'm so jealous of your gifts! I might have to borrow some of your new makeup eyeshadows. More fun make-up was one of the only things I asked for this Christmas but I didn't get any. :(
