Okay so every year I have this idea that I will be able to send Christmas cards to everyone I know and love. But then every year Christmas comes to fast, and postage is too expensive. Sadly this happened again this year. I started with the international ones. And after 40 bucks in postage, and carpal tunnel in my hand I gave up. I did get some Christmas cards out to people in the US, but they are few and far between. And it's not that I don't love all of you guys, it's that I'm poor and time has run out. So I will put in this blog what I put in the Christmas cards!

To My Dearest Family, Friends, and Loved Ones!
It's that time of year again. The time of year that tends to bring out either the best or worst in people. This season for me has been such a happy one. I have just come to realize how many people I have the privilege of calling friends and loved ones. I feel so blessed to be able to associate with so many wonderful people. Each and every one of you are blessings and miracles in my life. You were brought into my life at a specific time, and have helped mold me into the woman I am today. And I am so grateful for that, and for each of you.
This year has been an adventure. I worked hard and achieved two of my life goals. I got my motorcycle license, and bout a motorcycle, and I went back to school and am working toward becoming a Paramedic. I just finished my EMT-Basic course. Now to throw a curve ball, I have also applied to the University of Kent, in England, to pursue a Masters Degree in European Theatre. I should know by the end of the year if I have been accepted or not. My two great passions in life are theatre and medicine. I just am not sure which fit is best for me, or if both are. We'll see!
Christmas is a wonderful time to be our best selves, and to start over. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and know that you are loved and thought of. Merry Christmas to all! Become a kid again, and enjoy!
Love
Sarah

I am so excited for this Christmas! I get to spend it with my family in Cali! I haven't seen them since April, and it will be so good to be able to spend some quality time with them.
I have had quite a few a-ha moments recently. And I have come to the realization that I have been taking my family for granted. I just thought they would always be there and always love me, and we would always have a great relationship. And I hate that I have taken advantage of them like that. They are amazing, and they do love me, and I am lucky to have such a good relationship with them. But I need to put more work and effort into it to show them how much they mean to me! Christmas is all about having the people you love around you, and laughter and love.
I just feel so blessed! And I am so grateful that I know Christ Lives and is an active part in our lives, if we will let Him. I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is true, and following those truths is the only way to have lasting peace and happiness. I am so grateful for my Savior and cherish the love that He continually shows me. I pray that the feelings of this season will stick with me throughout the year so that I can become more like Him. So that I can and will be a true Christian in every sense of the word.
I love each of you and pray that you will have a wonderful Christmas!
All my love!
