Great News!!

Guess what....I have been accepted into the Teacher Education Program!! Can you believe it?! I am so excited to start on my official degree! After this semester I will have my Associates degree (which is awesome news because that means I am done with generals!) and then I start the teaching program. If all goes as planned I should graduate in the spring of 2013! It seems far away and then not at that same time, but either way I am very excited to start classes that I will actually use in the future :D

Thanks for all the advice!

I loved all the comments on what to do with my hair! :) So I have decided I want to cut some bangs into my hair and thin the crap out of it!! I have the thickest hair known to man! Cynthia always jokes that I could chop it off and donate it to the wooden toy horse factory so they can use it for the horse's mane! I want to grow it out till it reaches a little past my shoulders, but I think I need a trim just to get rid of the dead ends. I am still undecided about coloring it...I really like the natural low lights and highlights that are already in my hair. I think I just need to keep curling it so that it doesn't drive me insane like it does when it is straight!

Hair cut?

I really need to do something with my hair. I know I said I wanted to grow it out...but right now it is driving me CRAZY! I love long hair...I just do not have the patience for it. I am thinking of coloring it that purple brown color...a pretty purple brown not like puke purple brown. And cutting a couple of inches off...maybe? Ugh still not sure. Any suggestions?

Here is what my hair has looked like in the past...

haha wow I have had some great looks eh? And these are from the good days :) OK so I really like my hair longer...I just need something to help with the awkward stage it is in right now! Does anyone have advice on how to not chop it when it is driving you insane?!

My favorite movie!

Ok so I want you all to go out and rent or buy this movie as soon as you can!! It is so so good! I am in love with all the adventure, romance, comedy, action....it's just all around Great! Just when you think you have it all figured out it slams another surprise in your face! Of course it doesn't hurt to have Dastan to look at for two hours....

Oh my that man is F-I-N-E fine! Whew, talk about McDreamy and McSteamy combined!! He is one gorgeous male :)

Now I know you are probably thinking..wait I have heard of that name before..Dastan..hmm. You are probably thinking of the same Disney character I was; for their names are really similar. But don't confuse Dastan with another the other Disney character almost by the same name, Gaston, for they are completely different.

No Dastan is our hero in this story. He was raised on the streets of Persia as an orphan, fighting to stay alive. He jumps from the roof tops of the mud caked buildings, running away from the kings guards as he tries to save a boy being whipped by them and....wait. This story sounds strangely familiar....hmm. It sounds like another movie I have seen....oh wait...I know what it is...Aladdin! Yes! Dastan is Aladdin in modern day!

Gotta keep, one jump ahead of the breadline. One swing ahead of the sword. I steal only what I can't afford...That's everything!

Haha you will be singing this as he jumps around the rooftops :) I know Kristina and I did! Like I said before this is a movie worth watching!

Let's take one last look at perfection...

I have finally joined my generation!

I have wanted an ipod for years, seriously. So for my birthday this year I decided that I was going to get an ipod, particularly an orange or purple 16gb ipod nano. Well on Friday night my mom and I went shopping for her birthday and while we were out we stopped at Best Buy to pick me up my birthday gift. Guess what...they are discontinued! Yep no more. Best Buy doesn't even have them to sell and the new ipod nano's are on back order. So off to Walmart we go where again they have no old ipods just the new ipod nano touch. Luckily for me they have one in silver in stock so I picked it up. The little thing is pretty cool, although I am afraid I am going to lose it cuz its so small!

Looking for Groom :)

Ok so I am officially looking for a groom. Now please do not confuse this with a husband. No, they are not the same thing. For me all I want to do is plan a wedding, haha ok so I have been planning a wedding since I was two, and the only ingredient left is the GROOM! I have picked out all the colors, the dress, the veil, the cake, the shoes, the bridal party, the decorations, the venue, the flowers, the ring...haha even the date. Like I said all I need to acquire is a groom and the wedding is good to go! :) Now having a husband is COMPLETELY different than a groom, a husband requires me to be responsible in many ways that I am not. Such as in finances, nope not responsible there. In cleaning my room, nope not there either. In getting through school so can have my own insurance, haha still working on being responsible there. Yep like I said before just looking for a groom to finish the wedding plans, that's all I need :)

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Finally I have a minute to post pictures of my birthday party. Sorry it has taken this long! Hope you all understand. I am so grateful for all the help I had this year, I couldn't have done it with these wonderful people: Corianne, my mom, Cynthia, Meagan, Rachel, Kenna and Marc, my Dad, my Grandma, cousin Jr., Logan and of course all you wonderful people that came to celebrate! Here is a few highlights of the night.

Here is the outside decorations. We had a blow up snow globe (thanks to the Bills family!)

Every table had a Christmas table cloth and Christmas center pieces.

Of course it wouldn't be Christmas with out a Tree! :)

We decorated Christmas sugar cookies, it was a big hit with the kids!

And the big man himself made a special appearance for the event! Jolly ole St. Nick made it all the way from the North Pole to wish me a Merry Birthday!

Here is Santa's Helper...Grant!

Of course EVERYONE had to sit on Santa's knee :)

We just had to show off our lovely sweaters!!

The ugly sweater contest was so much fun! I couldn't believe how many people showed up in a sweater in August!!

Of course the night ended with dancing (how could it not!) and a little bit of Karaoke :)

A big thanks to all who made this year's birthday so special. Merry Christmas or Birthday to all and to all a good night!!
