Hey! It's been awhile :p So, I got my PSAT scores back, I did quite well haha :) I also had my birthday in November! And I got my driver's permit! haha the streets of CA better watch out :p hahaha I also went to Tennessee for Christmas! It was so fun! I hadn't been to Tennessee in three years, and never for Christmas. All of my dad's brothers and their families came: Uncle Brian, his wife Tanya, and their kids Tyler (my age) and Alex (my younger brother's age); Uncle Gary, his wife Christine (Chris), and their son Ian (four years older than me). My Uncle Mike already lives in Tennessee with his wife Christina (Chris), and is my grandma's neighbor. Their kids came down with their families: Jamie and Kelly and their son Jonah (3); Jacob and Lyndsey; Fawn and her kids Brynn (Alex and my brother's age), and Gage (5); and Jeremiah and his fiance Crystal. On Christmas Eve and a few other days we were all in one room. Needless to say, it got pretty crazy! haha :) A cool thing about our family is that almost all the males play at least one instrument. On at least one occasion, there was a jam session in my uncle's basement/band room. I got to hear/see one of them, and let me tell you, it was pretty awesome haha :) My dad was rocking out on the guitar, Jacob was on the base, Tyler was supporting on the guitar, and Uncle Gary was tearing it up on the drums! haha :) I got to drive a four wheeler and a punked out golf cart while I was there too haha :) I had an interesting experience on the four wheeler though :p I was driving it and was just about to turn around when it completely stopped. It ran out of gas! There was absolutely no cell service where I was stopped so I had to walk down to the nearest house. It had a giant truck cab (like for 18 wheelers) in front of it. I rang the doorbell and a kinda scary looking guy answered the door. He actually turned out to be pretty nice because he let me use his phone to call my uncle so that he could come get me. Everything turned out fine but it was kinda embarrassing haha :p It snowed while I was there too! Well, it was only like an inch, but it was snow! I never get snow where I live, so every little bit counts! haha :) When we came back, we had a little "Christmas" celebration with my mom's parents. Then the rest of break was pretty uneventful, that is until we went to the Mythbusters exhibit at the Tech Museum. It was so cool! They had actual props and things that they had built and tested on the show! It was so cool to get to see that! I got a t-shirt that Tory Belleci designed. It says "Warning: Science in Progress" and has a picture of a guy diving away from an explosion. It's pretty funny if you think about it, well it is to me anyway haha. So yeah, that's been what's up. haha hopefully I'll write soon :)

Ttyl and something about an alligator :)
