this may come as a shock to you, so be prepared---im updating!!        (<--thats you)  well i guess you could see that already, but i felt a sort of obligation to give you a heads up ("heads up! im quitting!"--HAHA lonni you make me chuckle).

its the day after christmas and i already miss it like no other. but the funny thing is, i dont miss the presents or anything like that--i miss the feeling! christmas eve is the best part of christmas for me, and even though it was different this year, it was still the best part! i went to christmas eve service at church with the family and i saw hannah, corbin, and matt--geez i love those kids!! then we (cousins, mom and i) got some coffee and played trivial pursuit without the game board (we are so freaking cool ). then we went looking at christmas lights for like an hour and we went back to my cousins' house to eat a bunch of junk food. might i add that my mom and i totally kicked butt at cranium--we won of course!!

ok, well, since you asked, ill give you a summary of my gifts....but only because you asked!
-A NEW BED AHHH ITS SO EXCITING!!!!!!!
-switchfoot, mercyme, and ANDREA BOCCELI  cds (let me just tell you, andrea bocceli is SO my new favorite--dont make fun of me)
-lots o' cashola thanks to my grandparents, my mom, my uncle, and my other uncle and aunt
-gift cards to the best restaurants on the planet: buca de beppo, olive garden, and bd's...plus starbucks (it really doesnt count as a restaurant)
-some really cute jewelry from  my mom and dad
-delicious-smelling body butters and socks filled with hugs (the candy, alomost better than kisses) from daithie
-an amazingly yummy candle from jilly-bean
-and candy

GEEZ IM BLESSED!! thanks everyone for an amazing christmas!!! it may have been the best ever!! and i hardly mean because of the gifts--it was all about the fun and the family and friend time that i barely ever get--thats the best gift ever!!!!!!!!

i hope your christmas was extremely merryishful!! and i hope you didnt forget to consider what it was all really about! ill tell you one thing, my family didnt---we sang the birthday song to jesus and ate cake!

see you next year!

p.s. eight crazy nights is on tonight at 8:00 (or maybe 7:00 central) on abc family--dont miss it!

YAY! new layout finally!! what do you think?? i got it from saweetxlayouts_x3...just a little advertisement there!

well, i woke up about an hour ago and im still sleepy. i've been getting up really late every day...you know why?? BECAUSE I CAN. its break, and im free to go to bed and wake up WHENEVER I WANT TO!! amazing, right?

thanksgiving is tomorrow (im guessing you knew that already, though) and i am soooo freaking excited!! i get to go to my grandparents' houses on both sides of the family and EAT LIKE I'VE NEVER EATEN BEFORE. let me just tell you right now, granny's caramel rolls are worth killing for (i would say dying for, but then you wouldnt be able to eat them)!

that's all folks!

YAY! i'm updating, finally!! the sad part is...i dont have much to say.

umm..my birthday was amazing (not to mention, it was A MONTH ago). i got more money than i can spend and it is such a good feeling!! the party was a success and my two favorite people (CARL AND NANCY OF COURSE!!) stopped by while we were pokering (if you can call it that). they're friends of my dad's from yucatan (they work there). anyways, they brought by a present and everything, it was so sweet!

ok, lets see...the love life is pretty retarded, and extremely comfusing but thats why we enjoy it, right?  

omg, on friday night i went bowling with hannah, lonni, whitney, and hannah's parentals. it was sooooo fun!!!! let me tell you right now, i SUCK at bowling. its depressing how horrible i am! did you know that people 11 and older cant get bumpers?? I NEEDED THOSE!! i lost both game heinously, and i had the time of my life!

for hannah's birthday, i gave her $20, but it was so not boring! i sent her on a november easter egg hunt! to start her off, i chunked the first egg at her..and it cracked, but it was so worth it! i hid money and candy in her eggs and her sister ran after me the whole time begging me to let her hide them all. i gave her one, and she forgot where she hid it...she is my favorite little person ever.

well, for those of you who dont know, our theatre c program at school is putting on annie and we are all SUPER EXCITED!! being ms. hannigan (the evil drunk orphan-owner), i have to sing a lot of solos...I DONT LIKE SOLOS.  scarrry!

yesterday was solo and ensemble for all choir students and our school was the host of the whole event..which meant we had to do hours of volunteer work when we werent singing like little losers! i sang 3 times (one big ensemble-the whole choir, one solo, and one duet with my beloved hannah dear!), and we got ones on everything! YAY FOR US!
