Holy Cow!!

Hola! Lol. It's been forever! And there are only 4 days until Christmas!! Isn't it wonderful?!
I hope it snows on Christmas. How magical would that be? :)
Lol. Rachel and Susie and I went to the mall while my mom was in Costco, and I tried on these 6 inch heels, and I was as tall as Susie, and now I'm really obsessed with them, and I really want to go buy them. Ha ha, so we'll see if that happens.
Yesterday I was sick so I didn't go to church. I ended up reading over 5oo pages. Lol. I haven't read that much in a while.
It's also Christmas Break!! Yay!! We don't have to go back until the 4th of January!
I have a new favorite song, it's called Superstar by Taylor Swift. It's on the playlist if you want to hear it. :D
Well, I'm hungry, so I'm going to go find something yummy to eat. Talk to ya later!
Love-

Longest Day of My Life

Hey guys! How's everyone doing? It's been forever! I'm sorry! I certainly have time to blog, but sometimes it just slips my mind. :D
Let's see. . . Since I last blogged, a couple thing have happened. I got 100% on a math test, which is a miracle, I assure you. Of course, Thanksgiving came our way, and we chased it to Idaho Falls. That was a blast! I got to see my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles! On Thanksgiving Day, my aunt Eileen and I ran a 5k. My first one!! It was lovely! And it didn't hurt that there was a pretty cute guy that I saw helping with the fences and stuff. :D
I am in the Advanced Women's Ensemble (choir) and yesterday, all the advanced choirs had our big, annual Holiday Dinner. We left school at 12:15 and went over to the Provo Library where we rehearsed our show up in the Ballroom. It was goregously decorated! There were lights and trees and all manner of Christmas decorations everywhere! We did a matinee at 3:30 and then a dinner show at 7. It went beautifully. But that was probably one of the longest days of my life. Not that it wasn't fun, it's just that we were there from 12:30-9:30. Ha ha. Oh well, it was a great experience. One of the soloist started to cry because he was singing Christmas Shoes, and his mom was sitting in the audience. How sweet is that?! After the whole thing was over, we gathered in the lobby out side the Ballroom and sang Christmas songs, and talked and laughed and hugged and laughed some more. It was like a huge family reunion! I love the feeling you get with a huge group of teenagers like that, when we've all worked so hard together and now we're just one huge family. :) That's what Christmas is all about.
Well, I hope you all are having a wonderful December so far! I love you all!
Love-
Rachel

Hey guys! How's it going? So, guess what?!! My mom and I got new phones! I got the awesome samsung highlight and so did my mom. But she went in and got a different one today because she doesn't like touchscreen. :)
See!! Look!! There it is!!! Hello little beauty. :D It's orange you guys! Not just black! It's orange and has red on it!! AAAH!! And it's touchscreen! I went and got a clear cover thing put on the screen so that it won't get scratched! Yay!! Lol. I'm so happy. :D
I have a new number now though, and that keeps throwing me off, but it's ok. I'm not the one that calls me. :D
Anyway, that's my awesome news. I also have some other news that I can't tell aboutl. But it was a great Saturday!
