Hi. I would like to share some fun Christmas songs, that I really like.
Christmas Must Be Something More by Taylor Swift
Christmas with a Capitol "C" by Go Fish
12 Days of Christmas by BYU Vocal Point
Believe by Josh Groban (from the Polar Express)
Some of these are traditional and fun medleys . Others illustrate what Christmas is all about. It's not about the ribbons and bows. I really like these alot. They are some of my favorites and I hope you enjoy them to.

Arrethtrae
I would like to share some good books with you.
The Kingdom Series by Chuck Black
This is a series that is set in a fictional kingdom of Arrethtrae. It is a very creative allegory of the Bible in a medieval/castles setting. It's quite easy to tell the connecting. There is the King. He loves his children and helps them. He has a son(the Prince) who comes to redeem his people so that they may live with him again. The 1st 2 books cover the old Testament. The Last 4 cover the New Testament and then up till the 2nd Coming of Christ. These books are wonderful. They really illustrate God's plan for us and that God does love us. These books are also very fun to read. They suck you in so you can not put them down. I highly recommend the Kingdom series. I don't believe they can be found at the Library. You should just right off buy them. They are great books to own.
1)Kingdom's Dawn
2)Kingdom's Hope
3)Kingdom's Edge
4)Kingdom's Call
5)Kingdom's Quest
6)Kingdom's Reign
The Knights of Arrethtrae
This is the sequel series. They are about individual knights (one is female :)) and they're mission in promoting the plan and knowledge of the Prince. I am reading the last one right know. This series is just as good as the first. It covers the time before the 2nd coming and how the knights are trying to spread the word, etc... I really think all youth would love them. they defiantly pull you in. I Highly recommend them. They would make great family time books. My mom has read them as well and really enjoys them.
1)Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione
2)Sir Bentley and Holbrook Court
3)Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart (cliff hanger ending to 4th )
4)Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue
5)Sir Quinlan and the Sword of Valor
6)Sir Rowan and the Camerian Conquest

Stake Conference
Today was my Stake Conference for my ward. It was really nice. I was privileged to be in the Combined Stake Choir. It was fun to do it with my friend Emily. Stake Conference was really special this year because we had Elder Anderson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and his wife, visiting from Utah. They both gave really great talks. Afterwards, I got to shake his hand. It was a really neat opportunity to be in the presence of an Apostle.
The Weirdest Halloween Costume of 2010
So around here, some of the middle schools close to my house let the students wear costumes to school on Friday. On the way home from Co-op we were waiting at the stop light and I saw some guy in a costume.
What? Okay fine I'll tell you. So this was a middle schooler! The guy was dressed as a teletubby!
Do you know what a teletubby is? It's a kid TV show. I watched it when I was younger. Way younger. See HERE for more info. Oh and they don't even talk. Now I think it's weird, but back then I think I loved it.

Before You Meet Prince Charming
Before You Meet Prince Charming: A Guide to Radiant Purity by Sarah MallyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a wonderful book! Sarah Mally, is trying to address how instead of getting yourself immersed in boys and dreaming about your own "happily ever after" romance, you could be using your time as the Lord would want you to. It talks about how you should wait upon the Lord and he will bring your and your Prince Charming together when HE is ready. Not You. It is full of amazing suggestions, ideas, and scriptures, and lots more! to help illustrate her point, she has a princess theme going and at the beginning of each chapter you read part of a princess story. Altogether this is an amazing book for all Teenage girls 12 and up. I Loved this book.

Train Tracks : Coming December 2010
Yep Train Tracks. Unless you have had braces you won't understand. Oops I slipped! Yeah I'm getting braces. To tell the truth I have mixed feelings. I'm glad that I will get them over with, and not exactly jumping about the fact that I will have metal in my mouth for the next 1-2 years. So yeah. Braces. I got my x-rays today. I guess it's good that I'm getting braces now. So Yep. Braces.

Happy Halloween
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Halloween. Though I guess it's weird that we say Happy. I mean, people are always trying to make it scary (you know haunted houses, etc)
But anyway..............

Outlaw Princess - The Synopsis
14 year old Rowyn is the grand-daughter of the legendary Robin Hood, one of the famous leaders of the Forest People, or Outlaws. But But Rowyn doesn't know that. She only knows life as the second royal daughter to Queen Xenia and King Fedric of Tittanny. She knews a life of wealth and royalty. She knows life under a different name, as Princess Gwyndalyn of Tittany. Not as Rowyn Thaynn, outlaw princess.
On a secret trip to the village, Gwyn overhears a conversation between the villian and his sidekick. They are talking or plotting to wipe out all the Forest People, and avenge his grandfather and father's deaths at the hand of Robin and kin. Gwyn decides to learn all she can about the Forest People. What she learns changes her life forever.
She connects the Forest people to the strange images and unfamiliar tunes wafting through her dreams at night. Somehow she is connected to the Forest. Her true family is part of the Forest People. Gwyn never really thought about not belonging to the true Royal family, she never thought about how her family doesn't have her chocolate (dark) hair and piercing green eyes. None are like her. They are different. In Many Ways.
So Gwyn sets out on a quest, to find out who she is, and to save the People of the Forest from extinction.
That is the synopsis so far. It will most likely change. When it does, I will post the latest and greatest for all to see. What do you think? PLEASE COMMENT!

Children of the Promise
by Dean Hughes
This was a great series. It's an LDS fictional story about the Thomas family during the time of World War 2. It is like the Work and the Glory series! So engaging, and fun! I loved following the lives the of the Thomases. Now I am dying to read the sequel series called HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN.
Thank you Grandma, for letting me borrow these books!
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
by Micheal Scott
This is another good fantasy series. I really enjoyed the 1st 4 books (two more are yet to be released). It's not as good as some other books I have read, but very engaging and interesting. I really like them.
Ella Minnow Pea
by Mark Dunn
This was a hilarious play on words! Very enjoyable! Good for all above 8 (anyone younger than 8 might not get half of it). A Must Read.
The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
Yes, I read them. The very popular books. Okay, I must say it was a very interesting topic. VERY ENGAGING. Once you start you will not want to stop. The first two books were really good. But I must say that the 3rd is quite a dissapointment. It didn't really get going for me till about a 3rd of the way through. Altogether, it was very interesting. I really liked them. But they do not deserve a slot on my ALL TIME FAVORITES LIST.
