Life transferred from school to the Holiday

Finally the semester if OVER!!  The stress is off my shoulders. Now i can enjoy my vacation with my family....the WHOLE family!! We are all celebrating Christmas as Daniel and Elise's House this year. It's wonderful that we have been given the chance to have Reunions 2 years in a row...at Christmas time! I wont write much for i will have a lengthy post after the holiday.
           Recently in i went on a walk around the BYU campus to see what a i can see.... It's a very different college BYU Idaho. I really enjoyed looking at all the buildings and wondering if  this would be my choice of college to finish my degree. But mostly the walk was to find a peace of mind. Getting out of my trouble for a bit and just letting my mind "speak for it's self". I view fond memories of the past and thought about choices i have made. I also glanced at my present state of life...figuring out my troubles, as well as happiness. It was a need get away.  I recommend a walk at least 3 times a week... it's a rejuvenation for the body and soul. As i was walking back home i found a  small duck pond with at least 50 ducks. I ran home returning to the pond with many slices of bread.... i wish i could put the videos and pictures up but my memory chip is too small for the computer...but maybe i will post in on the nest blog. But it was hilarious to see these ravenous duck come waddling as fast as they could to where i was sitting with the bread. You would not believe these daring ducks to come so close to get a small morsel of bread. They were desperate i'd say. hahaha. They came up so close that they all nearly tipped me over! Some would jump on my lap and grap the bread right out of my hands!!!  There was one in particular that was a very mean and selfish duck... he'd run the others over and take a whole slice of bread out of my hands! so i picked it up and threw it ( nicely)  back into the pond. It was funny!! i was so clost to these ducks that i would pet them and feel their necks and span out their wings... while tempting them with the bread. hahaha i laughed and laughed... having such a good time feeding the ducks and being so close to a bit of nature...well domesticated... a little bit. :).  Another recommend i give to everyone... is to find a time to just burst out LAUGHING. Find ways to be happy... laughing is good for your body and soul! a release of stress or frustration.  I love those ducks! they made me so happy!!
    Now it's time for family fun!!! i'll write more later! see ya
