This is hilarious. Those awkward moments… I did that the to one of the girls I visit teach on Sunday, and it was terribly embarrassing.

Hey guess what? I changed my major.

I declared Elementary Music Ed in 7th grade, after an interview with Mrs. Chantry for Person Progress. Plans took a turn when I decided to go to BYU Hawaii, which doesn’t have a Music Ed program. I contented myself with just plan old Elementary Ed, but I was so pleased that Music theory gave math credit that I had to plunge into the music program. A double major!

No such thing

But I convinced them, and off I skipped in two very different directions: The CAC (our miniature HFAC) on one end of campus, and the School of Ed building all the way on the other. A full 12 minute trek! However, this

But here I find myself today, working on a potential Elementary Music Ed degree, just as I dreamed of ten years ago.

Leen and me. Aren’t we presh?

Leen and me. Aren’t we presh?

Lug and me. Original, self-designed, classy, fashionable, and organic outfits.

Me, Lug, and Leen. Already showing out gratitude and admiration for the pioneers.

Lug, me, and Leen. It’s kind of crazy how much we’ve matured over these twenty years!

I made this for Thanksgiving, but I haven’t published it until now because I didn’t know how. And then I did it: I created a youtube account! I do believe congratulations are in order. This is 2012.

This is also looking back over 2011 and remembering all the great parts. (That would be the whole year, of course.) I’m thankful for my best year so far.

I love birthdays. According to some recent survey, birthdays are the favorite holiday of this generation, and I can tell you why: they always include great food.

Well, that’s why I like birthdays.

And that’s why I love December– we have two major birthday celebrations, and by major, I mean that the births we celebrate are those of significant enough individuals (and by that I mean literally the most significant individuals that ever walked the face of this earth) that the food is always incredible.

We get to have Joseph Smith’s party on the 23rd, and Jesus’s on the 25th. That’s pretty awesome.

But they don’t even get sung to! So this is a little arrangement I cooked up for them, but asked the Mo Tab and Gladys Knight and the audience and everyone to sing it to President Hinckley, because he’s pretty awesome too. Please notice that this is probably one of the finest arrangements of this [horribly tedious, eternally flat, painfully dragging, uncomfortable] song you’ve ever heard. I don’t love the Sopranos ending on the dominant, but I really do love the orchestra part, especially the cymbals. And of course I LOVE that he waves his cane at the end.

I would like everyone to know that I become extremely offended when anyone wishes me a happy Hanukkah. Um, excuse me. I’m not Jewish, so it should be obvious that I will feel discriminated against and terribly hurt if my personal denomination isn’t properly referred to with any mention of this particular month and its various festivities.

Yeah. I hate “holiday”. (I understand and recognize the irony of that statement.) I heard that the White House used the term “Holiday tree” and I wanted to gag. Seriously?
