because life caught up with me...

Here's some highlights from the rest of the break:


I love the Washington, D.C. temple with the Christmas lights!


The girls and I at the pretzel factory in PA.



This is the spot where Martin Luther King gave his "I Have a Dream Speech"! Washington day trip was way fun!

Outside HersheyWorld! (Obviously!) The whole family (and Kent) went up to PA and did Hershey and Lancaster. It's been a long time since I've done been up there! Way fun!

I'm back to school now and am really looking forward to this semester. My classes are going to be challenging and I'm going to really need to stay on top of things. I've been getting better every semester about not procrastinating my schoolwork and I think this will be the test! I'm taking five classes: Hawaiian Language, Book of Mormon II, Intercultural Communications, Shakespeare, and Western Humanities II. All but the first are Honors classes. I will be writing a lot more than I have previously. I'm still working at the Reading/Writing Center, which I really enjoy. I haven't really had a chance to do anything too fun yet, but have gone to a couple basketball games! I only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I plan on spending some quality time with the beach on those days.
