Les Miserables

 Whenever I see any Les Miserables I always feel the same way, very awe-inspired. I can't ever believe how wonderful the book/play/movie was. I just  saw the most recent Les Miserables with Hugh Jackman and I thought it was very good. I really liked the cast they chose. Some voices were not quite as good as the broadway or concerts but the acting was really really good. The very last song where everybody is singing is so powerful.
  This Christmas has been a very good Christmas. For a while I was in a very bad mood about Christmas. I was very sick of all the commercialism of Christmas. And I felt like when I didn't have any money it wasn't fun at all. I felt like I was obligated to get people gifts. It ended up being really good. Dane's Crowton side had a really fun Christmas party. I tried beer bread which was really yummy. Dane and I spent Christmas eve with his family and had Korean food which was really really good. Hopefully I can learn how to make it. I also need to learn how to make stockings. My Grandma June made my immediate family these wonderful stockings. I want to be able to make Dane and my future family stockings. I went to my family's house on Christmas. It was really sad my mom was unable to be there. She ended up having to work all night. I really missed her.
   Jenessa's baby Madden was really cute Christmas morning. One of his presents was this big truck and all you heard forever was wow, wow, wow. He loves anything that moves and so loved the wheels on that truck. Dane and I saw a play called "The first Christmas" at the SCERA theatre in Orem. I liked it for the most part. I do wish I saw some Christmas Carol this year oh well next year.
  I saw the Hobbit on Christmas eve. That was really good also. Les Miserables and the Hobbit were the two movies that I really wanted to see all year. Now I can go back to waiting for movies to come out for rent. Dane and I did get to see Wreck it Ralph a few weeks ago. I thought that was pretty cute. But it surprisingly made me cry a lot. I guess I have big issues about kids getting picked on and feeling like they don't fit in. Why do we all have to be so mean?

Almost a month ago

 Dane and I did end up having a really good Christmas. Most of it was spent with Dane's family. Christmas eve we had Korean food which was really really good!



 The next morning we had omelettes filled with some of the left over fried rice from the night before. That night we saw Christmas lights at the Washington DC. Temple which was fun they had a lot of mangers from all over the world.

I know you can't see us very well my camera was having issues again.
 Later that week we got to go to the Smithsonian National Zoo. Which was really really neat. I finally got to see a Panda Bear!




  Overall Christmas was a lot of fun.
Oh yeah it snowed today!


 I do miss the snow from Utah. And Costa Vida :)
