Status: home for Christmas

Yesterday, I flew back to the great state of Texas and now I am here writing to you.  It's nice to be home, though as always, a little weird.  I am also four days from turning 21...woot.

And guess what?  I GREW!!!  Well, a half-inch.  I am no longer a mere 5'4" but a whopping 5'4 1/2".  I am no longer considered short, but average.  I know it's odd that I'm growing after sixteen, but it's a common occurence in my mom's family.  My mom got her full height in college, albeit she is taller than I am.  That would explain why a friend of mine told me that I wasn't as "short" as he remembered me being before he went on his mission *laughs*.

I also got thinner this semester; I didn't think that would be possible with how much I've been eating; but I haven't been snacking as much as I used to partly because I was hardly home.  Now I need to buy new pants.  I'm not complaining too much; but my new size isn't easily found.  I'm not sure I like that, but at the same time...it's flattering.  

So that's my news: I'm taller and thinner.  Just in time for my twenty-first birthday!
