old and new.

So long 2011. 

You were pretty good amazing. I got to cross a lot of things off my bucket list this past year: own a turtle and name him Yurtle, skydive, be sung to from my window, kiss under mistletoe, see a live football game. It was a good ear, and it was a hard year. Now I am officially looking forward to 2012. I'm looking forward to finishing general ed forever, for celebrating big things (1 year, a wedding, big birthdays...) and I'm looking forward to changes. 

I'm ready for you 2012.

 

I've been absent. It's okay. Christmas pictures coming soon. Hope you had a merry one, and have a happy New Years!

Shots, shots, shots, shots...

 

Today is one of my very best friends sisters 21st birthday!

She might just be my favorite second older sister. 

We look alike..and I'm glad, because she's beautiful inside and out.

I look up to her an insane amount.

I love you, Candace!!

Happy Birthday (: xoxo

i am thankful for heaters,

funny commercials, 

 a beautiful rainy day, 

and a car ride with the boyfriend.  

i am excited for more rain,

finishing finals, 

crossing things off my to do list, 

and going to bed early.

Friday night happy list.

1. Nicole love me, love the earth, nail polish.

2. Playing my guitar. 

3. The fact that Yurtle recognizes his momma, and likes when I sing to him...(or at least I think he does, he kicks his feet and goes nuts. Maybe he just thinks I'm going to feed him.)

4. Laughing with my siblings.

5. Accidental good hair days.

6. Knowing that I only have TWO days LEFT at school! Yay finals(:

7. Holiday tea!

8. In-n-out.

9. Face lotion.

Little letters.

Dear eyes,
I wish you would stop changing and getting worse...It sucks when I can't see anymore and have to wait until April to fix it.

Dear body,
Why did you wake up an hour before you had to? Really...I could have slept in!

Dear weather,
I'm excited it's freezing, but maybe some clouds could come out too?

Dear school,
I. am. over. you. I cannot tell you how great it will be to take almost a seven week break from you.

Dear mom,
Thank you for calling me this morning even though I was sleeping to tell me you loved me...and thank you for leaving Jesus Calling on the counter...even if it was unintentional, I needed to read today's.

Dear December,
I like you a whole lot...I like your lights, trees, smells, colors, etc.

Dear boyfriend,
Thank you for doing a good job reminding me I'm important. I like you.

Dear feet,
I'm thankful that I can use both of you again!

Dear Anthropology website,
You're fun to dream on.

Dear weekend,
I can see you peekin' right around the corner, hurry up!

Happy Wednesday! 

 

May I have your attention, please?

well. It's finally, finally, finally December! 

In my opinion, it's the best month of the year. 

I'm excited for this month. 

I'm excited for trees, ice skating, candles, family time, Christmas music, Christmas movies, pictures, a break from school, Christmas dates, being creative, buying gifts for people I love, Christmas smells, Christmas clothes, pretty lights...and basically everything that could be attached with this month. 

Who is ready?

I might just be...
