Sometimes when you're busy falling in love you forget you have a blog.

 I'm engaged! We literally couldn't be happier.

Birthday.

Hey everyone, it's my birthday! Feel free to drop in and wish me a happy birthday, dedicate a blog post to me, or whatever you feel would be a great way to honor me on my big 20! I'd like to thank my many blog followers for your faithful support on my poor blogging, and for not giving up on me completely yet. Let's not talk about how I didn't complete half the things on my list of things I wanted to do this last year on my 19th birthday, and realize that I'm just not a list maker. I'm not. As much I would love to be one I'm too much of a free spirit to plan out things I want to do in my life. So here's to another free spirited year of my life! Happy Birthday to me!

Friday the 13th

Okay okay, I know this was so last month, BUT my Friday the 13th was kind of what every Friday the 13th should be like. Power went out at Dillard's for 2.5 hours, and then they finally sent us home early. WAHOO! And then I told Jenna we needed to document this moment, so naturally I tried to take a picture of both of us in the back corner eating chocolate in the dark, and this is what came of it.

....And then I cried of laughter for a solid minute and half.

life lately, according to my iphone pictures.

...and karli's iphone, too.

...

please tell me I'm as cool as rockstar diaries.

Food For Thought

Sometimes All the time, I love pick me ups. That's why reading this over and over each year never gets old.

March 1st (JB's Birthday, I knew their would be a good thought)

"I'm asking that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more full the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we 'accentuate the positive.' I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment virtue and effort." -Gordon B. Hinckley

March is going to be a great month. I feel it.

It's Love

I know, I know. I'm a bad blogger. I used to be good. Not so much anymore. It's a laziness thing. Any who I moved out, and I'm in love with my roommate Danielle. Not a creepy lesbian love, but ya know I just genuinely lucked out living with randoms (I was about to have a panic attack before I moved out cause I was so nervous I would have weird smelly roommates). She's from Brazil and is exactly like Gloria on modern family. My life is complete.

This is us on her Birthday. And now we're off to Tucanos.

New Year

2011 (In no particular order):

It was probably my favorite year to date. I mean I spent a good 6 months of the year traveling whether it was to Vegas, Australia, or London I seemed to always be somewhere doing something. It was a year I realized that family, and friends are the stuff of life. It didn't really matter so much what I was doing, but rather who I was with and what experiences we were having together. It was the year I realized I LOVE people, and even though I find myself sometimes saying I hate people, it's really not true. I'm a people person, and my life would be an awfully lonely place without people in it. So here's to 2011 and all the people from that year.


2012
The year the Mayan calendar ends...and the world, or something like that. I'm not one for New Years resolutions, because you can make goals anytime of the year, but since it's a good excuse to party with friends and family and eat loads of food, I enjoy the holiday. So happy New Years everyone. Unlike the Mayans, I have a good feeling about this year.

And even though I don't like New Year's resolutions (because lets be honest they only last the month of January) I thought this message was perfect.
