January Jumbles

I don't believe that 'jumbles' is legally a word, but I just added it to my mental dictionary.

Jumbles (n): a compilation of events confined to a specific time period.

December and January were good. Here are some updates:

• Hunter's saftey went well. I passed! Woo! Now I can purchase my combination license to put in for the buck drawing for hunting season this fall.
• Fall 2012 Semester ended well. I'm very relieved to have it over with. The break was nice and Spring 2013 Semester starts on Monday (14th). I will be taking photography, nutrition, and jewelry. It'll be my last semester at SLCC with my graduation date of May 9, 2013. Boy am I excited! It's nice to have the date set.
• Well December 21, 2012 came and went without the world ending. Not that it was in question before. Haha.
• I bought my first firearm. It's a Remington 597 .22 long rifle. I love it. :) 
• Christmas was pretty busy. My mom and brothers didn't end up making it out this way, but I am sure they had a nice Christmas. My dad was here from Georgia for the week of Christmas. It was nice to see him. I was in STG the weekend of the 14th which was fun. We built gingerbread houses out of rice crispy treats. We exchanged some gifts as well. Nate got me a very nice hunting bow. I was extremely surprised and I love it. Nate and Connor came down to SLC the weekend before Christmas. We went ice skating (they had never been!) and went to see the temple square lights. We made some Christmas sugar cookies too! We had a lot of fun. 
• New Years was pretty uneventful. I was in STG watching Friends when the clock struck midnight. Reigning in the New Year was not as good as I suspected, but time is a marvelous thing. I am still anticipating 2013 to be a good year, whether it is the same as I had hoped or different. Life always has changes for us to adapt to. 
• I started a new blog for 2013. It's called Positive Perspiration. The idea of this blog is to put my fitness goals out in the open to help myself and others. I struggle with motivation and am hopeful that this blog will aid in keeping me motivated. https://positiveperspiration.blogspot.com (invitation only)

Well, that's pretty much it. Here are some pics from the holidays.
