Quote-Attitude

So I was cleaning out my room and I found a quote...


We cannot change our past ... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.  And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our attitudes.


My mom gave this to me but I don't know who it is by.

First Flight with Pilot Dad

So on the last day of 2010 I took my first flight with my dad who has his pilot license (I can't remember when exactly).  This is a big deal for me because I am not very fond of flying, turbulence scares me just a little...haha.  But surprisingly this was not bad at all!  It was a calm day and we did not go nearly as high as commercial jets go.  This was nice because we were able to sight see a little, I even saw my mom's house!  Well we flew right next to the Bay Bridge and landed at the airport on the other side and met up with an old friend of my dad's who he hasn't seen in a long time.  He seemed to have a great time catching up, I learned some funny things he did... Like throwing pine cones at cars...oh dad... After we had lunch we flew back to Virginia.  It was really a great experience because it is very different then flying in a big airplane.  I think it would be something cool to learn how to do... maybe someday down the road haha.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas on ICE

My family and I went to the National Harbor in Maryland where the Gaylord National was putting on an event where people sculpted the store of How the Grinch Stole Christmas out of solid ice.  It was really amazing how they made all the sculptures in the exhibit!  The place it was kept in looked like a tennis bubble and it was a whole 9 degrees in there!  Felt like early morning in Utah in January and February haha. We were given big blue parkas and we were bundled up under that as well.

The tree was made out of Peeps!
