Catch-up in America

We made it back to the states. I am sorry that I have not updated this for a few months. That is not what I had intended. I found that I did really well at recording what happened while I was in Jerusalem really well, but I have been a major slacker since then, so here is a quick overview of what has happened.

In December I got home December 14th, and spent the rest of the month getting ready for Christmas. I was so good to see my Family again, but I miss Jerusalem. I think I had kind of forgotten how busy home life was. I had all these goals that I wanted to continue habits that I had started in Jerusalem, but I found that they always got pushed for something else, which was not supposed to happen. I am working on renewing those habits, starting with writing in this blog now.

My siblings had all grown up while I was gone, it was kind of sad. But at the same time, they are doing good things, and it is fun to watch them learn and grow. Little boy S is almost a year now, and has the biggest blue eyes I have seen. Little girl S, or as we like to call her, "Twinkle Toes" is talking now, which is crazy! She is a little dancer, but is also stuffed with personality. Little J is as much of a boy as ever. He and big boy S got puppies for Christmas, and that is where he spends all of his free time. The girls were doing tennis when I left, but now it is just B that is in tennis while the other one went back to Gymnastics. C is turning into a even bigger biker, which I didn't know was possible. He now rides almost every day, and is training both in Mountain for "True Grit," a 50 mile dirt race, as well as for the 1/2 Ironman. On top of that, Mom is back into scouting, and is busy as ever with that and her other callings.

I have stayed busy since I got home, despite not going to school, I have found ways to fill my time, wither it be spending time at the Horses - riding and working - playing with my siblings, helping Mom with her projects, working on my Dad's website, and other graphic design stuff, I haven't had much downtime. I have been working on starting a business called "Capture It Cute Photos," which will be a Photo Booth Rental for Southern Utah. I am expecting to receive the booth and the other equipment this week, and hope to be open for Valentines day Parties. For more information, check out our website at captureitcute.com. I would be happy to help and any party in Southern Utah. I have also joined a choir that will sing in the Tabernacle as part of the Temple Square concert series in Salt Lake. The only thing about it is that the practices are in Salt Lake on Sunday nights, so I have been driving up to Provo Every Saturday, and spending time with my Jerusalem friends. It has been fun, and I still have a month left, so that is keeping me very busy as well.

Anyway, I have other exciting news, but that needs it's own blogpost, so I will post that shortly:)
