(look how cute my parents are!)
Merry Christmas Everyone! I can't believe another year has already gone by. Even though I am studying for finals just like a 2 year old Chinese toddler trains for the Olympics, I wanted to take a small break and say hello. Besides, one can only spend so many hours learning about cancer before she needs to bring some cheer back into her life. So, this has been the craziest year of my life. A year ago I was still applying to graduate schools and reigning my kingdom of Provo. Now I have been living in Boston for seven months! And there are so many good things that have come out of it. So bear with me while I make a little list of all the things I love and everything I'm grateful for.
1. There is a church and ward anywhere I live.
2. My wonderful family and their generosity. (and i'm not just saying that because December 25th is ten days away. but it is....)
3. Getting an education, no matter how much it hurts at the time. (like vaccines)
4. The feeling that I get when good things happen and I know it's a result of my hard work and everyone else's prayers.
5. My car. Materialistic as it is, she just makes me happy.
6. Knowing that there's more to life than Provo and McLean.
7. Chocolate chip cookies.
8. Having amazing friends all over the world, and my new friends here in Boston.
9. That feeling you get when you wear new shoes for the first time. Heaven.
10. Being happy :)
Well, I guess it's time for me to pick up the old cancer notes again. Thanks for letting me bore you for just a little while. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
If you are like me, you may often find yourself asking, "what in the world is a puggle". Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Judging from the wittle bitty paws and smushy face, I'm inclined to go with animal. After a quick google image search reveals hundreds of adorable creatures like those pictured above, the next logical question is, "How have I made it 22 years without one?". And unfortunately, I can't think a good reason as to why I do not own this puppy. It is adorable. it combines the zest of a beagle with the slothfulness of a pug (minus its snortiness and short respiratory tract). Now all I would need is a small monkey to ride my puggle through the streets, and all my life's dreams would come true. Oh, and merry christmas eve! (see what happens when I have too much time on my hands...)
