i am so thankful for everyone & everything that has made this year amazing!
i can't wait to see what this new year will have to offer!

laughing

1. to express certain emotions, especially happiness or delight, by a series of spontaneous, usually unarticulated sounds often accompanied by corresponding facial and bodily movements.
2. to feel or suggest joyousness; appear bright and merry






...i simply love to laugh :)
laugh. smile. have a great night.

a good way to end a semester!

after finishing my last final yesterday all i wanted to do was be lazy...& believe me, i was soooo lazy!





anna & i watched ever after & you've got mail back to back.
& while we watched those we ate....




cookie dough, oreos, & other treats that i probably should not have indulged in!
we took goofy pictures...






& to end the night perfectly jon & i watched a movie in the fort him & his roommates made in their movie room :)



now a three week break until spring semester!!

whatta wednesday :)

this is what i woke up to this morning...



...how lovely! :) it was so cold today!
but i can now say that it is starting to feel like christmas!

oh what a day! i pretty much spent all day locked in my room studying for my math test until jon came and rescued me! what a sweetheart, we went on a triple date to yummy cafe rio and made gingerbread houses! here is our masterpiece!

to study or not to study?

what i find myself doing instead of studying...


blogging & facebooking...gets me every time!


eating way too many cookies & snacks



cleaning & doing dishes (always seems to make me feel so much better!)


& talking on the phone...well i guess just talking in general.
me and my roommates seem to have a problem with that.

but i've got to get off and focus...only two more finals to go & then it's christmas break!
wish me luck & have a good night!

find the joy in your life

ok. so i know i said that i would become this crazy blogging machine and get back on top of this.
but it is hard. especially when i have no idea what to write about.
i guess it takes practice though. so i am trying!

lately i have been thinking a lot about bucket lists and what i want to do with my life.
here are a few of my thoughts...

1. get married to prince charming in a beautiful white castle.



2. raise an amazing family

"families are the compass that guide us. they are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter." -brad henry

3. become a nurse and help others in any way that i can

4. travel the world











there are so many more things that i would love to do, but i'll save the rest for later.

for now i am just trying to enjoy every second of my life, and it is going great.
