25 minutes after Christmas

Merry CHRISTmas to all!

This year was allot of fun. Last night after getting home from the Christmas eve service we gave presents. I gave Rayman 2 to Naomi, iPod supplies for Nathan, a Crockpot for mom and new sockets for dad. ( It's a little funny how every summer I work my head off, but by the time Birthday's / Christmas is over my budget is broke ) Then I got some stuff too. Like a new Capo from Nathan, Glow in the dark stars from Naomi and an office chair from mom / dad. This morning we opened stockings, read our notes and then went to my grandma's house. ( Mom's side ) Because I've been "doing very well with my driving" - quoth dad, I have gotten allot of time behind the wheel. so far 105 daytime, and 75 nightime minutes. ( In only 2 days!! ) Total I need 1200 daytime, and 600 nightime before I can qualify for my licence. Anyway, so I went to my grandma's today, and played Apples to Apples about 6 times. Then we opened gifts and I got an awesome lime green Suit top and pants that my grandma made. She is awesome. Now I even have the lime green pants! :)
I better go!

CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

Wow! This week has gone quite fast. Sunday we were at my Great Grandma’s for church. We had a little party at her place Sunday afternoon, then we got home packed up, and went hunting! We left here around 7:30-ish, and I enjoyed the company of Brad Kupser, my dad and Nathan the whole 15 some hours to Colorado. We got there around 1:00 Monday afternoon, and then went hunting that evening. During the first hour of our hunt, Nathan got his elk. Then later on that evening near sunset Brad and I both got our elk too. So we took pictures, gutted them and loaded all of them in the truck. That night we stayed at a really cheap but cozy motel, with hopes of getting 3 more elk the next day. ( One for Marty, Katy and Brian ) So we got out on the field around 7:30AM, then come noon.. All of our tags had been filled. It was practically a new record. 6 elk in 24 hours. ( And we even slept! ) So we headed home Tuesday afternoon, and drove through the night until we reached home about 10:00 AM Wednesday morning. Because we got home early, we had extra time to cut up our elk. So Wednesday and Thursday we spent all day processing our meat into hamburger, jerky and a couple roasts. Thursday morning I took my drivers test, I scored a 90% and I got my permit! ( Mom took me out to the bakery to celebrate ) Then yesterday we went up to my grandma’s house to celebrate Christmas. ( Dad’s mom ) I got a lime green hoodie from her. :) Tomorrow is church, and then there is a Christmas eve service at 4:00. So it should be a full day. ( Pretty sure we will be doing our family Christmas thing tomorrow night as usual ) My dad is making jerky right now, so I better go help!

It's definately December!

Today was Naomi’s birthday, and as always we celebrated with the Traditional Olson Birthday breakfast. The birthday boy or girl chooses the menu, we have a prayer time, eat and then open cards and gifts. Things have changed since when I was younger, and Birthday breakfast times have gone from 7:30 to an unbelievable 6:00AM!! I’m definitely not a morning person, and it usually takes about 20 minutes ( or a cold bucket of water ) to wake me up. So this morning was an interesting experience. So after school I kinda just hung out around home here, and had some music stuff to work on for youth group, and I shaved for my first time ever! ( “Yessssssssss” – Napoleon Dynamite ) The pace of things is definitely picking up! lol I saw the nativity movie yesterday, and that was pretty good.

Stuff Stuff

To anyone who even reads this:
I just got back from planet wisdom. It was allot of fun, and I had a really good time. Last Wednesday I gave my testimonial thing, and I did 2 skits for youth group. Then Thursday I started teaching Austin guitar. He is doing pretty well I guess, I thought we were just going to take the whole day strumming, but we made it to some chords! :) Thu. night was choir practice. ( We are singing this Sunday ) Friday I just chilled all day, and then went to planet wisdom. Had an awesome time, slept at King of Glory church, and played some b-ball. Then this morning we were at planet wisdom all day. :) And that brings me to right now. I just had some Ramen Noodles, so I think I'm going to work on my other blog. www.ramennoodlefanclub.blogspot.com.
