One of my favorite quotes is from Batman Begins and it says "Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up again." It has applied to me so many countless times in the past few months, and this is also the same reason I have not updated in a while:) So many things have happened between family, friends, school, courage, strength, weakness, pain and most of all happiness.
To begin, my parents returned home from their much needed Cancun trip, and I finished my last days at lagoon.

Three days after my parents returning, me and my four other awesome friends left for the happiest place on earth! DISNEYLAND! Many of who read this probably have heard already so much about this trip. We had an amazing time. We crunched into Kasie's PT cruiser and hit the road driving from 8PM to 4AM to Anaheim, California! We stayed down the road from Disneyland at a hotel Kasie's uncle was so awesome to get us for free, and then ran down to Disneyland for two days! It was hardly busy at all, zipped through lines pretty fast never waiting longer than twenty minutes. Brandon (aka Nods) hadn't ever been to the magical place so we had a lot of fun showing him around and taking him on the rides. The whole group was amazing to go on this trip with. Our third day was a Sunday, and we took a nice rest and went to Huntington Beach. We went to a little restaurant called Ruby's Diner and had an awesome waitress names Jessica that was the coolest waitress ever, and I highly recommend their burgers. [Even if you don't eat hamburgers...eat them! they are the tastiest burgers I've ever had!] The beach was so beautiful, we took a lot of pictures. We spent the drive home stopping at some cool places. We stopped at Buffalo Bills and went on their Desperado roller coaster which was cool, though being all Ride Supervisors from Lagoon we all were a little scared at the conditions of the coaster and its operators...:#!











November came and went, and December hit like a Snow storm, quite literally. We got tons of snow, and it was tons of fun. I love snow because its so beautiful, and just watching it makes you feel warm inside. My amazing family came over for Christmas and I feel so incredibly blessed to have every single one of them in my life! They each have something amazing that they bring to our family, and I love each one of them! Now its the year 2009...I have started my new calling with my ward, started a new semester, and had a fun birthday with all of my friends. I am so grateful to have all the happy times I have had, because they way they make me feel is ten times better than all the bad that happens in the day and age. I know that I am truely blessed.


Yulianna, Me, and Jen!
