So Stephen got his Call! to the Spain, Malaga mission. Woah! crazy! He doesnt leave for a while (april 22) and its kinda funny cause Ben will have been out 1 year then. Maybe I can get a few more missionaries out while I am at it. I guess Spain kinda fits Stephen... wierd... but does... I don't think he really wants to speak spanish though :P too bad. Hmm.. I wonder where I will get called.... what do you think? Amanda said she can see me going to a big city like New York, or a Brittish Isles mission.. Like England or Scotland.. that might be cool

Finals week is coming up in a week and a half and boy can I feel the heat! There is much to do but I'm having help from on high to be productive and not procrastinate. Today I did well, but yesterday I slacked off quite a bit :( I'm also thinking I will need some extra help to decide a major. Bleh! You will wonder if I have been so diligent in my homework how I was able to watch this youtube video, but oh well... its a good one. :D

Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL! I love spending time with my family! (and I missed Sarah and Jeff) It was fun starting new traditions too. Mom had us all drink shots of V8 before the meal for our health since it was something that she used to do when she was living in Goosebay. We all did our best not scrunching up our faces when we gulped it down and then took really fast drinks of water afterwards. I am proud to say that even though it didn't taste very good, I still drank the whole thing, and I think it helped me get over my cold! :P We also had rolls from Texas Roadhouse instead of cresent roll :( It's ok though, since I have some cresents in my fridge at home that I can make up! I also thought it was fun that Stephen came up and ate with us...even if no one else thought so. Hehe!!! He did a good job helping debone the turkey at least ;) He should be getting his mission call this week! Woot Woot!!! I am SO excited for him! :D

I am thankful for my family!!!! :D they are even more wonderful the older I get and the longer I have lived away from them :) I love them so much!

Love you alll!!

Photoshop

Hey all! :D

I've been playing around with photoshop lately and trying out different tutorials from online (if any of you are trying to figure out photoshop, I highly suggest lookin up online tutorials. There are TONS and many of them are REALLY neat!). Here are a couple of pictures that I photoshopped:

Karl on the horse (does anyone know the horses name?) I like the colors in the AFTER picture and I think the solar flare is pretty neat too (even though it makes all of the shadows way off :P)

Before:After:

And here is another one of Stacy and Karl... which AFTER one do you like better?

Before:

After 1:

After 2:

Maybe the spot light is too harsh on the second one ;) And I guess the AFTER ones are not TOO much different other than the color....Anyway... what do you guys think? And Special thanks to Sarah for all the nice photography! :D Love you all!

P.S. How do I make it so that you can click on the pictures and another window pops up with the bigger pic?

We spent today exploring St Johns, Newfoundland. It was really windy. I will try to e-mail you if I get the chance. Please make good choices while I am gone and don't do anything stupid. Take good care of Gran. I love you, Mom
