December!

wow.... so its been a long while sense I've blogged! k.... well to start off:

NOVEMBER: the main highlight of that month for me was having almost everyone here (in Utah) for thanksgiving!!!! it was the total bomb just to see everyone and hang out and stuff!

and now for December:
1. my dad, Allen W. Norris had his 25Th birthday! (the 38Th time!)i love him and his crazy self. and believe me he still acts like a 2 year old :) i admire him for all that he does and the influence he has on my life. he is the hardest worker i know and is very smart with the things that matter; sure he doesn't waste his time with watching jeopardy or shopping, but he is definitely the best!
2. i went tree hunting on Saturday! it was really fun and exciting! i will be putting the pictures on in a couple days and you'll all be amazed!
3. I've really got into the Christmas spirit this year. this is mostly because i have great young women leaders who like to tell lies! jk... our project last week on Wednesday was to go to some ppl's house and ask them if we could do anything for them that night. but what we didn't know was that our leaders had already gone to the ppl's houses and asked them to tell the YW that they didn't need our help. so after we had gotten rejected 3 times and were thinking that this was the lamest mutual ever we went to the outskirts of town to a barn that had 3 pregnant cows and 2 baby cows. an older brother in my ward started telling the story of Jesus Christ and told of how he was rejected and asked us if when he comes knocking on our doors do we let him in or do we reject him as we were rejected? it brought the whole Christmas season to the forefront of my mind and helped me to evaluate my life and if I'm accepting Christ to be in my life and help me out instead of me telling him that "I'm OK and i don't need help right now"

so that was my update of whats happened so far and all that good jazz :) love you all and hope to see you soon. have a wonderful Monday tomorrow and a great holiday season.
