Goodbye to 08

So year has had its share of up's and down's...

Moving into a new home...
Meeting a new wonderful friend..
Saying goodbye to an old friend..
Another semester of school down..
Falling in love..
Letting go..
Celebrating birthdays..
and engagments..
living..loving..learning..laughing..
it had it all!

Im so greatful for everything thats come my way this year..good and bad!
It's made me stronger. Even though it sounds so cliche.. its true.

So goodbye to 08 and I cant wait to see what next year holds.

Merry Christmas

Christmas… that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance -- a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.

-Augusta E. Rundel

To those people and memories we hold dear. Merry Christmas from my home to yours!

Happy Birthday to you...

This is my best friend Lisa! We have known each other since we were youngin's! This year will be the first year we wont be celebrating our Bdays together! :( Sadly, she is in Boston doing great things! Just wanna tell her happy (belated) birthday! I miss you and love you! Hooray for 24!

My favorite

Sadly Ill have to suffer through Christmas without these cute lil cheeks to kiss! I guess its only fair to share the cuteness with the rest of the family.
I just recieved his Christmas card today and I dont think Ive ever seen a cuter kid!

Finals, Bday and Ugly Sweater Party!

This week is finals week! Im officially done on Thurs and then I can finish the million things on my "to do" list besides studying! That includes planning for my Ugly Sweater Party on Sat (so excited to show off my amazing sweater, that I have yet to buy!)and finishing my Xmas shopping! I always wait till the last minute! Oh and did I mention Im turning 24 on Thurs! Woo hoo! Lots of things to look forward to in the coming weeks!

And so it begins....

So Ive been debating endlessly about whether or not to start a blog. I figured Im pretty much addicted to it, even though I dont have one, so I might as well start one right? Then I think, who will read it? Will anyone read it? What do I write about? Is my life really that exciting? I came to the conclusion that I dont mind if this little blog is hidden to the world. The challenge will be whether or not I can keep it going. I hate visiting my favorite pages only to be disappointed when there are no new posts. So my goal is to make this a habit! Not one of those bad habits like running late, procrastinating or drinking coffee, those I have mastered! But a good habit, one that will let me rant and rave, laugh and cry and of course brag about my favorite nephew! P.S. You will be seeing lots of him in the future!
So here it goes.....
