Christmas is a Comin!

So I am sitting here at work and I am writing this blog to entertain my self because it is super slow all of my co workers are thinking the same thing. However it will all work out. I mean only 5 more hours to go. Any who long story short I am going to tell you what has been going down this week. I feel that it has been good also slow maybe that's because I am really excited for Christmas. My twin has been saying Christmas is a Comin. Yes it is 3 days away and I know everyone is so freakin busy around this time however it is good. I love it. One thing that really hit me was my brother was in A Christmas Carol and he said I based my Character off of you. The Artistic director said that was to easy you need to find someone else. He said "I know of anyone who celebrates Christmas full heartedly." This was when we were walking out of City Creek and holding back being choked up it meant a lot and I am really grateful that he said that. It meant a lot.

On to the next subject we are so excited for Christmas my wife and I are so excited for this year it is going to be amazing. It is going to be busy. Quite frankly spending time with family and having food is better than the presents, lights, and decorations. However that adds the nice touch to everything that is going on. I was reading A Christmas Carol this year to say I actually finished a book by the end of the year. I did it. I read the book and I loved the examples in the book. I mean Fred Scrooge's Nephew is who I look up to in this book because there is just something about him that relates to me. I am married and "I love Christmas even though it has not put a piece of gold or silver in my pocket it has done me good and I say God Bless it!" I know that it does me good just to say Merry Christmas with a smile it makes someones day.

So my wife and I are going to open our presents earlier than Christmas Day we have a lot of places to go. I love my wife I told her she is the best Christmas gift ever. It is her that I am so happy with her and all she does. I mean she has been with a job that is really difficult and I really don't care if one of her managers are reading this they are bums! However you know people are people. I know they are humans and I am I know be all means I am not perfect and no one is. Thats why we try our best.




So our gift to my Mother were to get family pictures done. We got them it was awesome I love them. I can see that my parents family is growing and it will continue to grow. It is going to be a legacy and new history will be made on the Smith side. I believe family is so important. I know i would be somewhere else if I did not have my family. Family is key that is my saying. I can't wait to have my family grow and get a house and 2 or 3 Christmas trees. I got that idea from our friends house the Burton family! I love them so and how they have helped us grow as a couple and they are an inspiration and they show us what true love is and how it works. I know my wife is the most important thing to me on this earth other wise i would not be with her. Well as in the famous book as when I was a kid I loved the saying Santa says to the world. " A Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight."

The Plan

Gahhh It is winter Break! I am happy and i know a lot of people are happy to have a month long break from everything. Awaiting to look at grades and ready to get ready for Christmas. I have been very happy lately I mean our Christmas shopping is done and our Christmas Part is going to take effect relatively soon. I love this time of the season. I know that there will be many blessings to come forth. I would however to take a moment to recognize all those in Connecticut  and all of those in China. These  events have not made our word a safer place but dangerous and makes the people fear. However with all the goodness in the world we can come together and makes this a better place. My heart was broken for those little angels who where caught in this horrible tragedy. I know my Heavenly Father has a place in his arms and will hold and care for them for all time and eternity. Our prayers go to all of those in Newtown and in China.

On to different matters it is snowing outside! I am at work listening to some Trans-Siberian Orchestra to make it feel more and more like the Holidays. My Wife and I went to go see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with Special guest Alfie Boe. We were invited by her sister and brother in law. We are so grateful that we could go. Inspiration was given to me buy the songs and the stories they told in this concert that Christmas to me is about giving. I told my Wife, "When I am 50 I will grow out my beard and my hair. I want to be the next St. Nicholas (Santa Claus). "I will be eventually. I have a plan mapped out. My Children will know what Christmas and the Holidays are all about. I have a plan where my family will be stable and I will make sure that my wife will be stable as well. I am really excited. Since the Holidays have been here I know that it is tight well hey we are poor college students right now. I am just so blessed to have everything that I have.

Part two to my plan is to have a family I can surround myself with. I know myself I deal with depression and i know my Wife has to deal with it. I mean I hate dealing with it I try not to pay attention to it. I mean i do but I don't use it as a sob story. I take medication so I can be rid of it and if I have an anxiety attack I have medication to wipe that out. My wife and my family make my life all the better and it is amazing. I can't think to get choked up just seeing how they make my life a whole lot better. I don't know where I would be. I am thankful for what I have and again so blessed to have many blessings.

Right now I feel like a Bob Cratchit I am freezing in my office however we can turn the heat up. I am very happy. I could just burst with joy. My Twin's new saying lately is "Christmas is a coming!" It is true it is coming. I am so excited about it too. I get to spend it with my wife and it will be amazing. This year we are spending Christmas morning with my Wife's family and we are sleeping over and we are going to  have a great time. Then we are going to my families house in the afternoon and then we are going to see the new movie Les Miserables. After that we are going to go home or stay the night again it just depends on how we feel. Tis the season to be jolly. It is still snowing and again I am so grateful for this season and most importantly The Savior.




The Savior came down to fulfill The Father's plan. Heavenly Father loves us and he has sent us pastors, prophets to guide us back to him so we can be with him. His plan will be fulfilled. You may ask why? Well he is God and he can do anything. He will bless us through all of our lives.

Okay?......

This week has been rather busy not a very good week for Mr. Smith, However I feel all is well when you have someone to come home to. I mean Amanda and I have been busy going from place to place. I am just tired. However finals are over I hope i get a god grade in my classes. I worked my butt off not do i just work my butt off at school I do it at work too. I made a big mistake at work and then I just felt stupid and like I don't know what I am doing. I know what I am doing I swear I am smart. I love my job and I love the people I work with so nice and understanding. I made a promise to myself not to mess up any more. I won't ever again. I will be on top of everything. This includes, home, school, work, family and friends. On top of this I got a parking ticket. I hate doing stupid things let alone getting a parking ticket it is really stupid of me to not see a parking spot there. I will do what I have to again and again. I will also be more careful. However my Brother and his fiancé have been saying I have been having an off month. However it is Christmas time and i love this time of the year especially with my family and friends. My wife and I have a lot to do this week to get everything done. I will make sure it all goes well. I am just  excited to go to California for New Years and also just have a good time with my wife and my family.

So I am in the Opera again for Florencia en el Amazonas. It is a short part for me hey but it is fun. We don't start rehearsals again until the 2nd of January. By that time the year would have been over and it starts all over again. Any who again family I feel is important and they pick you up when you need a lift. What are you going to do for the holidays? The wife and I are hanging out with family and usually on the food menu there is prime rib and a lot more food that is good and amazing. I know this may seem repetitive but they do really help.



On thing in life that i am so blessed to have is my own place, a car, you know even though they may not be the biggest or the fanciest it is great! I love it. Why because it is something i need and I know later on in life I will eventually get bigger things such as a house that can fit a family I know it will be good and blessings will come. Just stick to the course and it will work.

HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!

So this week I really enjoyed the time with family and friends. It also happens to be finals week and I will be here until they are done. However it is the last day of mine. I am so happy. While I am listening to Andy Williams Christmas Album, I feel it is the most  wonderful time of the year. I am really excited to have my family get started and being with family and friends I am just so happy. It is amazing to have friends and family to be there. I am just so relaxed while I am at work. I know I am rambling about many different things. I got to see A Christmas Carol 3 times at Pioneer Memorial Theatre. My twin was in it so all my support and good karma go to him. I also got all our decorations up and we had left over turkey and it has just been good. Also between my Grandmother and my Wife I am going to get really fat from eating so many delicious breads, candies, and dinners and food. If there is any one who loves food it is this kid! I mean come Christmas again we will have a lot of food that I will get to eat. Now this is not just about food this is about what it is all about. Christ's birth and being with family and friends. Also a time of giving. I love to receive however i like the aspect of giving. I feel good to give someone something just because. Again I am really excited for this holiday season.

One of the things that has been on my mind I was watching A Christmas Carol like i said before and there was a line that Ebenezer was told by his father. Save your pennies so you will never fall into debt. Now I felt that hit me really hard so I am going to save my pennies and make sure my wife and I are never in debt. I want to make sure of that because i want to be comfortable in life. Now this doesn't mean I am going to be a Scrooge and not like Christmas. I am just going to make sure I can be comfortable and make sure I will be safe with all that my future children and my family will be safe. It all starts here. I will be the Father and Husband and leader of the household where  my children and wife are safe. I will make sure that it will come to be. I love this season. I hope people don't think i am rude when i ask for something in return to help me out when i help them out I hope people in the future to will stay true to there word. I love my family and I can't wait to start my own family and be a father and being a family man.

I love family. I would do anything for them and one thing that I have decided even though I am a theatre major and a music minor I am going to have jobs where I can support my family and be comfortable and save. I am just excited for this season and the season to come. Sorry it has been a while I will try to write my blogs closer together. Until next time Happy reading.
