From Old to New, Snow to Sand!

Well I've checked off everything on the previous "Things I'm looking forward to list" except for Hawaii. We have officially moved into our new home. Moving was stressful and strenuous, but we've actually unpacked pretty much everything. The rain added an extra element but thankfully God had mercy on us and it didn't rain the day we actually moved. It's amazing how fast I've adjusted to living in a new house. Sometimes I feel a tinge of sadness when I catch myself unexpectedly planning my driving route back to our old house but for the most part I feel very blessed that we're living in as nice of a house as we are.

For Christmas I got the best gift of all-a visit from my cousins Grant and Olivia. We had such a good time all hanging out and catching up. I've missed them a lot and I love them dearly.

Seeing all my friends has been really great. I'm just bummed I don't get to spend New Years with them :( Yesterday Wesley, Scott and I went on an adventure to China Peak (formerly Sierra Summit). We left our house at exactly 4:17am and got there just as the lifts were opening. It snowed ALL day so there was tons of fresh powder. I got my wish of becoming a pro snowboarder-well almost haha. Thanks to Wes I can officially carve! I can't wait to hit the slopes again and get even better.

Tomorrow we're leaving for LAX and then to Hawaii. Wow. I've been wanting to type that sentence for months now! Anyways I hope you all (my dedicated 3 followers hahah) had a wonderful Christmas and have a fantastic New Year.
ALOHA~ Evie

Chopped!

This afternoon I got a long awaited hair cut. I've been wanting to try a short hairstyle for a while now. I really like it and feel good about cutting it because I was able to donate it to Locks of Love :) Yay for using less shampoo, conditioner and not having to blow dry!

Here's the before and after. It really was LONG!

My new snowboard boots!

'Tis the season...

Hey peeps,
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Life is crazy lately. I just realized Christmas is in 9 days and we are moving in 5 days! My brain just doesn't seem to be able to comprehend that right now. We've been in packing mode for a while now and I'm actually excited to move. I've always loved change and new scenery. I used to look forward to getting new classes and seating assignments in high school :) It's still pretty weird though. I've only been in the new house once and I know that when I move in it's going to feel pretty strange for a while. But I am so totally STOKED to be sharing a room with my bestest sister Gretchen. I love her so much. We're already so close and I can't wait to get even closer from living and sleeping side by side :)
Today was my last final, yipeeeeee! I also went in to drop my resume off at Sierra Vista Hospital for a phlebotomy job and God was gracious to me in that. I happened to see a lady I had done my externship with there and she took my resume and said she'd put in a good word for me with the Lab Director. So we'll see if it goes anywhere.
Things I'm looking forward to:
1. Moving
2. Christmas
3. Seeing my cousins
4. Spending time with friends home from college!
5. My new snowboard and boots and learning how to be a pro snowboarder with Wes
6. HAWAII!!!!
God is good and I've just been filled with an unexplainable joy lately. Hopefully it persists!
MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody :)
