I'm Still Alive!

Here I go again with the updates. Sheesh! 

December  
This month I got to to see one of my best friends, Annalee, since her aunt and uncle were coming up for a visit and she just couldn't sit at home. She's awesome and I love her.

I also got to see another awesome friend of mine! Alisa!!! I am happy to be back in the USA because of them. :)
Then came Christmas. I spent my first Christmas away from my family, and instead was there to experience Christmas with Scott's family. Scott decided we needed a D-SLR camera for Christmas so we now have a Canon 7D and absolutely love it!
January
I spent the turning of the new year down in St. George with a bunch of friends. It was pretty fun! We stayed in a nice big house and just hung out, ate food, and did some hiking. Scott and I played with the new camera and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that St. George has to offer. I love the red rock that is everywhere there! 
Later that month we went to see Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and I LOVED it! I need to visit Dubai sometime, don't you think?
February
Look what Scott got me for Valentine's Day!!! Awww! 
March
In March I took a random trip down to see Scott in Grand Junction, CO. He was there because  of a class he needed to take for work so we would hang out after it was over. Tehe!

Updates for October and November

Apparently I am not the best blogger because I have once again neglected to post for a long time. It's definitely time for some UPDATES! Especially since I moved back to the good ol' USA and I'm living it up with some of my best friends!

A few days before I left Europe I went to a soccer/football game with
 the YSA. It was definitely fun. :D 
Team Wiesbaden scarf for just 2 euros!
I flew out of Frankfurt on the 25th.
My amazing best friend and her husband
with their baby who is just the cutest ever.
They picked me up at the airport.
Bow hunting with Scott! 
For my birthday, Scott took me out for sushi. Nom Nom Nom!
What Scott and I were for Halloween! 
Just for fun, Scott and I drove down to Salt Lake one day and discovered that Jon Schmidt would be doing a live performance at the lighting of the tree at The Gateway mall. That was a wonderful experience. I love Jon Schmidt's music! Later in the month I spent Thanksgiving with Scott's family. SO MUCH FOOOOD!!

Photography Trial Expedition: Bana's Senior Photos

My dream is to break into photography really soon. This weekend I got to borrow a Canon EOS 7D and I went crazy with it! My dad requested I do my sister's senior photos, so I decided why not? Here are a few of the best shots. My sister is just beautiful inside and out! I love her.

I'm back!!!



Ha! I've neglected my blog for quite some time now, but I think I am back for good. Yay for me! Anyway, updates on my life:
1. Being an EFY (Especially for Youth) counselor in July was the best-ever experience of my entire life!!! I got to meet LDS youth from about 25 different countries and experience a very cultural gathering of the saints in Blaubeuren, Germany. I was blessed to be the counselor of seven amazing girls during that week and I was very impressed by each one of them. My testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ has grown so much because of them and the opportunity I had to serve. I also had the best co-counselor (Kevin) to work with! <3



2. I attended a summer program with Heidelberg University that helped me learn better German and understand their culture. The classes were all in German. It was so fun!! I met some great people from all over the world and made a wonderful friend from Moscow.


3. Spacetagung, a YSA convention in Darmstadt held the 1st-4th of September, 2011. What made that week amazing? My best friend in Germany and my previous EFY co-counselor, Kevin. Pretty much we spent the weekend together and had fun being random. 


Some more random updates:


I visited Schwetzingen gardens during a car show. Best combination ever! I love old cars.

Marienburg Fortress, Würzburg


I went to the Bundesgartenschau in Koblenz :) I don't know whose shiny head that is.

I'll be back...

So I've totally neglected my blog for a while. I have so many things to blog about and so little time to do it! My summer classes and a few other super important things have been keeping me verrry busy! But here's a random snack-post to let everyone know I haven't forgotten about my awesome blog!

My freshman year of high school I tried to paint "The Orchard" by Camille  Pissarro.

My version came out looking like this. 
So there, a random fun-fact about me. Till next time!

Luxembourg Overview

I went to see Transformers 3 in Luxembourg on Saturday with a friend at the Utopolis theater. I love this movie!!! Pretty much my new favorite. :D
If you don't know where Luxembourg is, its that tiny little country between France, Germany, and Belgium.

We arrived in Luxembourg just a little bit early for the movie so we walked around a bit and got to see some cool things. I love this bridge. :)
Couldn't figure out what this was for, but it's kinda cool and random.
Ruins of some sort. :)
The view from one of the random cave-things they have there.
When we got to the movie theater it was really nice with huge comfy seats and lots of leg room.  Sadly no aliens, though, except on the movie screen. Transformers!
