First Meet in Dakota

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was awesome!! Wednsday we all went shopping for food and christmas decor. We got a beautiful green tree and its REAL!! It's way awesome! Thursday Scott was up at 6am makin food. Daniel and I helped after we woke up. We had turkey, ham, yams, parmesan pullaparts, cheese ball, peppermint milk, holy nog (egg nog is scary to some people apprantly now), apple pie, pumkin pie, and strawberry ruhbarb pie. After dinner Dan, the missionaries and I played apples to apples (I was winning and laughing the hardest I ever have since I've been here). Then we played and intense game of egyptian rat race. I've never sweated so much playing a freaking card game!! hahaha Friday we put the decor on the christmas tree. It is approxiamtely half an inch from touching the cieling. :] Then we went to sioux city to watch 2012(dont see that movie by the way, its dumb) but what was exciting was the brawl that went on. These girls were being really loud and some boys were cussing at them telling them to shut up the whole time. Afterwards, Melissa says something to the girls standing with thier father. Oh my lanta it was an arguement. It was amusing but quite unnessecary. Since 2012 was so bad we went home and watched the Proposal with popcorn!!! yyyeeaahh! It was an awesome Thanksgiving.

The mighty land of Dakota

Dakota Vaulting

Update on vaulting: it's going pretty dang good. The two biggest things I need to work on are aggressiveness and really driving my head and chest at take off.

Quotes I like

Success is to laugh often, love much.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts
