Hi guys,
Today I am doing major school work. I am trying to get halfway through my school work by Christmas break. Well it looks like I am going to work over the holidays, but I am really trying hard to get it done today because we are going to go to Jump Zone tomorrow because Ally's friend Mollie is coming into town. Mollie has a cute little brother named Aubrey and we are "best friends forever." I am excited because I almost have all of my Christmas presents bought. I have my mom's, dad's, sister's, friend's and I am getting my grandma's and grandpa's. I am so excited! I think I am getting an Ipod touch for Christmas but I am not sure. I hope I get one. This Christmas I am trying to focus on what I have, not on what I don't have. It has been a challenge seeing all my friends with Ipods but I don't care. I don't want to be selfish, I want to be selfless.

Helping Out

I am very excited right now!!! This morning I went over to my friend Emily's house at 9 a.m. so they could drive me to Bethany Baptist Church in Protho Junction. Last year I went and helped set up the Christmas Store. I didn't actually help do the Christmas Store. This year I did actually help with the Christmas Store. Emily and I were in the boys room (4-12 years in case you were wondering). There were a bunch of people so we helped them get down to their car with their stuff. We had a bunch of stuffed animals so we gave the people one stuffed animal per child. The grill team from our church (Central Baptist of North Little Rock) was there serving hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks, chips, and cupcakes. I got a sweet peace sign necklace and a plaid clip. I am way into peace signs and plaid just to let you know. :) That is pretty much all that is up with me except yesterday I was making my moms Christmas present and I was cutting a thread and I cut my finger. My mom said it could have had stiches but we didn't go to the hospital we just put a butterfly band-aid on it and two regular band-aids on it. I looked at it last night and it was purple and really gross looking. :(

Christmas Cheer

Hi guys (and gals),
So I just wanted to let you in on something I plan on doing around Christmas time, I will let you know the date later. Last year my friend and I had just finished eating at Larry's Pizza and she was going to stay with me and hang out for a little while longer. Well, I said "Wouldn't it be funny to yell 'Merry Christmas' to everyone while we are taking you home." I thought about it for a while and said "I dare you to yell 'Merry Christmas' at the next car we see." Well my friend did yell 'Merry Christmas' at the next car we saw and I said "That didn't look to embarrassing so the next car we see I will yell 'Merry Christmas' at them." I did and soon we were yelling 'Merry Christmas' left and right. It was fun and I can't wait to do it again this year!!! I wanted to let you in on that and I will blog again to let you know what day. Think about it wouldn't it be funny to have a couple people in all fifty states yelling 'Merry Christmas' at people!!!

Talk to ya later,
Olivia
