bear.

LOOK at this kitten. 

he's officially ours.

we've been thinking and talking about getting a kitten for awhile.

i want to have a little companion here while jon is gone, and i just love cats.

he finally decided to let me get one!

he's allergic, so i wanted to make sure that jon was here when i got the kitten so he could get used to him.

we fell in love with him as soon as we saw him. 

this is us on our drive home.

i'm making that face because he has his buried in my arm. he was so drowsy all day. 

looking out the window on the drive home.

holding him while letting him look out the window. 

!!

my nails...i know.

but he fell asleep like this and it was soo cute. 

when we got home, he went right under the couch and passed out for hours. 

when he woke up, we showed him his food and the litter box.

after jon helped him, he started eating himself. then he made his way to the litter box and used it.

fabulous. 

i love him. he has such a pretty coat and it just so cute. 

jon doesn't like cats and didn't want to get one.

he is so sweet for letting me get bear and being so good to him.

they are SO cute together!!!!

jumble.

Me: I used to live out there?
Man Living on 2200 Madison Ave NewYork, NewYork: Where!!?
Me: Central Park West and 84th...
Man: Where are you talking to me from?
Me: Salt Lake City Utah!
Man: Why did you move out there? Did you get rich?
Me: ....No...I'm from here. I was going to school in New York.
Man: Oh. Are you coming back?
Me: I hope so.
Man: This is where the money is.
Me: haha...
Man: Alright come on back now. Bye.

He was so sweet. It's so weird to be home, I miss New York so much and no one understands. It's like when a missionary comes home and want to talk about his mission 24/7 and no one cares and no one wants to hear about it. I now kind of know what it is like being on the other end. However, one of my friends just got back from his mission in New York! Soooo that works out really nicely. We can reminisce with each other.

This is a difficult blog to write because I have so many different things on my mind. I could have taken in it so many different directions.

I'll just jump to the new addition to my family.

So I've had a few pets in the past..........thousands of fish, multiple hamsters, and a kitten. All of which I really, REALLY tried to treat well and keep alive.

But they didn't stay on this earth long.
I found them floating in the bowl, frozen solid in their cage, or, the most painful of them all, was awoken by two of my sisters one morning. When they found sweet (???????????????????) Keeska, laying very stiff, but very peaceful, on the top step in the garage.

How I loved her.

I'm hoping that won't happen with my newest, best smelling, fullest, and best dressed...

Christmas tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad helped me decorate this beautiful thing after Lizzie and her roommates and I picked it out! So far it hasn't drank any water, but I'm sure it will soon...............
