It's Been A Long Time....

Ok.... so I'm not sure if anyone will even read this. I'm not sure if it'll be another year or so before I post again or not. However, here I am. So I thought I'd post. Despite the fact that this blog needs a total makeover, it will not happen tonight. However, much has happened since my last carefree single trip to my sister's in my last post. Last April I went on my first date with the man I will spend eternity with. Then, in August after traveling with him and my sister's family for a week (stopping at various tourist attractions along the way) to my brother's wedding in Texas, I went to Disney World: to live, to work, and to play. My dear husband-to-be however was not thrilled I was hours away and Disney will forever now be the "other man" in our relationship. :-/ lol... But fortunately for him, I questioned my motives and returned home early. We pushed up the date and married for time and all eternity in the Nashville Tennessee Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on 30 October 2010 (Halloween was on Sun.). We have had many memorable moments since then including a week vacation (for an official honeymoon) over spring break to Nauvoo, IL and other various church sites. Now, we are looking forward to closing on our first house on friday and moving on sat. If you're lucky, I might find time and room in our new house to try really blogging again. Or maybe if you're not so lucky. Until then, enjoy the bliss of other bloggers! :-)

Week In Alabama

Spent this week at my sister's house with her really cute family!!!! Look at my neices: Katie (6 yrs in January!), Megan (3), & Peyton (20 months). It was an awesome week though everyone who never calls me needed me this week ;-) lol... even got a call from my hairdresser who was worried because she hadn't seen me since May! lol...



After church on Sunday, the family had a pic with their Santa in the front yard. Aren't my sister and her family the cutest???




Then we went to dance class on Monday night for visitor's class. This is Megan's tap dance!




Then, it was Katie's turn. This was her round-off!

Los gracias a la palabra 2007, puedo ahora crear y plantear blogs derecho del procesador de textos.

I guess it's finally time...

to catch up on some old posts! lol... Been kinda tired lately. Funny how you can be so excited to do something and then... don't care! ;-) lol.... but I do. I'm finally back at school. Classes start tomorrow :-P. I'm not terribly excited. Still, it's ok. I've spent the last two days reading a book trilogy I really can't wait to finish. But I guess I have to wait til Paige brings me the third book tomorrow :-P. lol... but enough of that. It's time to post! (about Christmas, etc. DUH!) ;-)

Ok... so December 20th, I got up early, mailed a package at the post office. and (with a few things in between) headed to meet my high school buds at wal-mart to go to Ihop for... brunch? We have an annual tradition to meet somewhere for Thanksgiving and draw names and then meet for Christmas and exchange. It's fun! Means we see each other at least twice a year! lol.... so anyway, starting last year we decided to do themes. It makes it easier to shop & just as enjoyable. Last year, we all bought t-shirts from our school. This year, we decided on scarves. In the crafty spirit this year, I decided to make mine. I mean it's not that hard right. I wasn't planning on knitting or crocheting (mostly cause I don't know how despite I've been taught to crochet probably 5 times. I just never remember after the initial lesson :-P lol). I was really excited about the way my scarf turned out actually. Just nervous my friend Paige wouldn't like it. It looked more like a SHana scarf to me and I was sad I hadn't found the color scheme I'd been hoping for in my limited selection of Wal-mart fleece. But here it is none the less.

Cute as could me if I do say so myself ;-). And Paige luvs it (at least she says so) & her mom complimented me on it as well. I'm glad. Though the worse part was the tassels. My poor blistered fingers couldn't even open the well taped box Brittany gave my scarf to me in. But it faded quickly & was hardly noticeable the next day.

Camilla & Brittany modeling there new scarves. (stolen from facebook ;-) Thanx Shana)

Paige, me, and Shana with our new scarves! What a great brunch we had! It was so much fun!

AFterward, I took off for Alabama to my sister's family! (MOre on that later. I suspect they'll be a few catch up posts). The rain was horrid though and made the drive long. But the end result was worth it and thankfully I made it safely! :-D

THis mornin after my shower I headed back up to skewl & Picked up my package!!!!! :-D I was so happy to finally get it! It's great! After refilling my tank (for only $9.10 I must add), I went home & immediately started working! It took less than 3 hrs to do project 2! I think I'll go eat when I'm done with this & start on the next one! :-D lol... I'm so happy. (& hungry since I haven't eaten today only drank some egg nog & some water this morn)... HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only 10 more days til Christmas!!! & only 5 more days til I go see my neices and sister (& Nathan too ;-) lol) again!!! :-D YAY!
