long time no write

...you'd think that since I love to write i'd be on here alot more. Well sadly that is not the case. I love writing by hand, not so much on computer, but i guess as a teenager i'd better get up with the technology.
Well my mom, my sister and I cleaned out craft room yesterday and now, its not so hard to make cards. its quite fun. I also, had the grand privledge to clean my pigs pen of a room, adn now i can write stories and mini-autobiographies of my life. Its quite nice to have a clean area, but i have no idea how long that will last.
Christmas has come and gone, accompined by newyears and i get to go back to school on monday. Yahooie... not. I really like sleeping in till ten in the morning and not haveing to wake up at 6 a.m to make it to early morning seminary at 7:30 a.m. I am not saying that i don't enjoy seminary, i do and early morning is way different than taking it 3rd period or somthing, because people who are there in the morning WANT to be there- the spirit is really strong. its really amazing what the gospel has to offer in your life.
Back to christmas.. Santa brought us a Wii (thanks mom and dad) and Santa's helper (aka: Grandma Jones) brought us a parakeet. As the week progressed- I really never got to play on the Wii thanks to my little brother and sister who hog the whole "video games heaven" to them selfs and we ended up with 2 more parakeets. The funny part about it is that my mom is not as animal person. She's never held a kitten or puppy in her life, she's terrified of animals. When she was a teenager my grandma told her that she's marry a boy who loves animals and she will have tons. As you can imagine she simply rolled her eye at that- just as us girl teen's do best. Now, look at her.. she's in the center of almost a zoo. We don't live on a farm (we use to though) but my brother has 4 lizards, we have 3 birds, my dad has around 2 fish, and we have a dog. Behind the 2 extra parakeets - its really an interesting yet simple tale. My little sister, Holly, has a friend that loves animals and she has a bigger zoo stationed at her house than at ours, but her animals are free to run wild except for the ones that need to be in cages, so her cats attacked her 2 parakeets so she donated her birds to us and she gave us her huge cage to keep them in. Now the once shy blue bird, joins in a cute, but utterly annoying, melody with a bright green and purple parakeet.
