My Christmas Present to Myself

This year my Christmas present to myself is....extensions! I've always wanted long hair, but my hair doesn't grow very fast. A couple of my roommates have extensions that you can take in and out. So, my roommate and I decided to get extensions together. We got them colored and cut by my other roommate and I love them. The only problem

with them is that they scratch my head. Don't worry I don't plan on having fake h
air for the rest of my life. This is an insentive for me
to grow my hair out. I love them and they didn't cost as much as permanent extensions, so that is another plus! Do the look good or not? Be honest! oh...to explain the pictures..the first one is when we very first got them, obviously its armpit hair...the second is before we cut and colored them, after we finished sewing the clips in. The third is the finished product!

Joining The Unemployed Group

Tonight is my last day of work! I am so excited but a little sad to be leaving my old people....but i may be back if I don't find another job. I am just excited to be able to go home for as long as I want, but not to have to look for another job. Hopefully I'll beable to find a good one that I love.

On the side note, my roommate elsie is moving out for winter semester. She is going home, she says that her mom wants her to come home, but I really think that it's only because she hates snow. So I am supposed to be going home tomorrow, but she isn't leaving until tuesday. Last night she was trying to persuade me to stay until sunday, so I told her if she goes and makes a snow angel in the snow I would stay....So being how she is, doing whatever I tell her she went and did it. It was so funny, because she hates snow and hates being cold. She proved her love for me and I am staying until sunday. I probably would have stayed anyways since there is supposed to be a storm on saturday, but it was funner this way. Making her jump in the snow for me!

Texas

This past weekend my dad, brother Jake and I went to Texas to visit my Texas family and to Go to Pila's graduation. It was quite an adventure going with only my brother and dad, but I survived. We went on Thursday and just hung out that day. Pila's brother and his family and his Parents came along with some other relatives so it was quite a house full but it was super fun. On Firday we went shopping..we went to a few stores then of course my brother and dad wanted to go to the bass pro shop (it's like cabellas but i thought it had a lot more animals all throughout the store). Anyways it was fun. Ofeina and Ami were a little scared of the animals, but they loved it. The kids loved the boats, and they had a hunting game where they shot at a target that they loved to do. At there they had tons of animls, but my favorite was this huge bear. It was so tall, of course we had to take pictures by it. It was way to tall to fit into a picture from my phone so this is all I got of it. On saturday was the graduation...it was long! And misi was sick so I had to hold him the whole time, but it was ok, becuase i don't get to hold him lots. Pila's mom made a whole bunch of candy lei's so we each got one. We took tons of pictures then went out to eat. We ate a lot, got stuffed and went back to the house for a program. Pila's family put on a program for him. I guess in tongan culture to honor him they have people dance for him. So all the little girls got dressed up in their tongan outfits and did a dance. I wish I had pictures of them because it was the cutest thing, but I will post some when I get to my mom's house next week. They also did another dance for him. It was so cute, I love it! Since most of the people there were Tongan they sang songs and said something to Pila in Tongan. I love listening to Their Tongan hymns, even though it is the same hymns we sing ( I think) I always feel the spirit so strong. It is so beautiful to listen to! Later that night we played pounce which I love that game, but I didn't win a lot, I thing it was because my sister was my partner and she's a little slow..ha just kidding. I just had to put that in for her! Sunday was our last day :( We went over and hung out for a bit then we went off to the airport. We stopped at Chili's and ate lupper (lunch supper Ha!) which was pretty good, went to the airport then said our goodbyes. It's always hard to say goodbye to everyone, but it's getting easier. The first few times I always cried whenever I said goodbye to them, but now I have realized that it won't be to long until I see them again that it isn't so hard. And yes they are probably coming to Utah soon....I know they can never stay away for too long!

Richfield oh Richfield

One of my favorite things in the whole world is going home....I love going to Richfield. As soon as I see that flying J sign I get really excited! This week I got to go home, because Jaliz was getting a little home sick, and I didn't have to work so I went home with them. It made me really excited for christmas, because my mom has got a lot of our christmas decorations out and I love christmas...Now we just need the snow and it will really feel like christmas. Another thing I love about coming home is that all we do is go shopping, sit around talking, and cook! Oh and we play ticket to ride!
I am quitting my job, woot woot, my last day is the 19. I quit so I could spend a long time at home for the holidays. However, I got a call the other day and I went in for an interview. They called me back and asked me to come in for a working interview. The dentist office is on the other side of my block from my apartment. It would be so perfect, because I could walk to work and save lots of money on gas. So everybody please pray for me...my working interview is on Tuesday, and I have never done one before so it could be really interesting. Hopefully I will get it!!
Some more news...I am going to texas in 6 DAYS! I am so excited to go see my babies. However, I am going with my dad and Jake so it will be very interesting....I guess I'll get to be one of the boys for a weekend. So my week is going to be exciting!! Cross your fingers for me on that job!!
