Oh Boy I'm 22...........

Well it happened, no matter how much I tried to deny it and everything I did to try and stop it from happening, it happened..............I Turned 22!! :( I do not like this whole aging thing at all but despite that I had a pretty Amazing day thanks to my Awsome friends. First my roommate, Kaila, bought me a cinnamon roll for breakfast and I got a card in the mail from my mom :) Then I got all dolled up and went to my friends apartment. Cori, my friend, bought me terriyaki chicken for lunch then a bunch of us went to Applebee's for dinner. It happened to also be another friends, Levi, birthday so we combined our party since we had the same friends!!

The Birthday Girl!! After much denial I was determined to have a fun time.

My friends made me a giant birthday card, it was so awsome they are the absolute best!!

This is the inside of the card, the duct tape in the corner is because in Idaho we use duct tape for everything. The pop-out in the middle is a purple, orange spotted, cow getting hit by a tractor because I grew up on a dairy lol Then each of the people are are each one of my friends who made the card and they each wrote me something. I love this card, it made my day. :)

Me and Levi are Birthday Buddies!! We're pretty much best friends now because of our birthday bond lol I'm glad I wasn't turning 26 like he was though :)

Levi's Birthday Sundae!!

My Birthday Sunday!!

My friends Cori, Adam, Amy, Diana, and the weird kid who looks like he's picking his nose is Diana's boyfriend Nick but we call him The Florist because he wants to be a florist. This was the first time meeting him and he's kinda a weirdo lol

Melissa and Mattie!!

Santa Clause was there and he threw a ton of mints at us. He was trying to see how many he could get in our drinks. He was a fun Santa but I think he should've been getting ready for Christmas instead of making apperances at Applebee's :)

It turned out to be a very good birthday but I'm hoping the next one won't come around so fast.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

The Christmas Season is once again upon us which means three things, lots of annoying snow, I turn another year older, and we get to Celebrate our Saviors Birth. One of my favorite things is Decorating!! After Thanksgiving I brought up all my Christmas decorations but then realized my apartment is so small that I couldn't put up many things.

I bought a small Christmas Tree which fits perfectly on the side table.

We set up as many boxes as we could to create more tables to put decorations on. I went to the dollar store and bought Christmas table clothes to cover them so it's more festive. It worked out pretty well.

Everyone needs a Nativity Set for Christmas!!

This little village is no where near as good as my mom's but I thought it worked for now until I can start collecting my real Christmas Village!!

This is my little apartment. As you can see it's snowing to add to all the other annoying snow already on the ground :/

My poor little car covered with snow, that's sure ganna be fun to drive in!!

I'm excited to go home and be with my family for awhile and start a new year. A lot has been going on lately, things that I thought I had figured out haven't been working out like I planned. But all I can do is look ahead and start the new year with a fresh attitude about Everything, and Hopefully things will turn out how they're suppose to.

Thanksgiving...

It's hard to believe that a year ago I was in NYC and all kids of wierd Thanksgiving things were happening!! It's been such an Amazing year and I wouldn't trade it for anything!! I am so glad to be home though and to start the next chapter of my life, whatever it may be.

It was fun to be home with my family this year even though it was a little hard getting there. I live in Rexburg right now so I tried to go home on Sunday and beat the snow storms that were moving in. Well the plan didn't work very well at all. While I was on the interstate I hit some pretty bad snow storms and I was freaking out, and to make matters worse my windshield blades were broken so everytime I turned them on it just smeared the snow. I had to stay really far behind everyone so they wouldn't splash me, and I had to have my heat blasting on my windows so the snow would melt off. There were a couple times I was afraid I was going to go off the road but I made it to Twin. I was so excited that I made it all the way there with no big problems and then...................... I was on the main road 2 miles from Tanille's house and I started to fishtail, then I spun around twice and ended up on the opposite side of the road turned the wrong way with the back of my car in a ditch!! Thankfully I didn't hit another car or a pole, but if it would have been 5 seconds later then I would have been hit in my door by an SUV!! So I'm sure I was being watched over that day. I was surprised at all the people who stopped to help me and make sure I was ok, it's good to know there are still some good people left in the world. I'm also thankful for an Amazing brother-in-law that I have who came and pulled me out. Thanks Ty. :)

This year everyone was at my parents for Thanksgiving and it was fun having everyone together.

The boys waited patiently for there food at there own little table.

Everyone was playing the Kinect, it was so much fun but I was so sore for the next couple of days.

We finally got all the grandkids to sit down with Grandma and Grandpa to get a picture. They are all so Cute!!

Jace and Carson were happy to play with the cars all day. They are such boys!!

Me and Tanille shopped Black Friday while the boys stayed with Grandma. We went to Walmart at midnight and Tanille got pj's for the boys while I hit the movie section. This was my first time going to BF and it was a Very Interesting Experience. They had all the movies set up in the produce section and people were standing around them waiting for 12:01. I scoped out what I needed and just hoped that I could get to them in time. Where I was standing I was right in front of 2 movies that I wanted, so I could easily just grab them. Another movie I wanted was on the same shelf but i heard the other people standing around me and they were going for the same one. There was one lady, who I just happened to know her name is Debbie, and she needed 3 then she was going to grab 2 for the lady behind her and 1 for another lady behind her. There were only 6 of the movie there so I knew I wasn't getting one. Well there was this other lady standing by Debbie we'll call her Sue, and she asked Debbie if she was taking all those movies. Debbie said yes and Sue was like Hmmm we'll see!! I was like wow I might be seeing a fight. Debbie was squatted down ready to grab the movies and Sue mouths to me if I needed one too. I said yes then she said she would get me one if I grabbed her the other 2 I was by. So when they finally said GO, I reached for what I needed and looked over to see Debbie grab all 6 of the movies and Sue dive in front of her and knocked Debbie to the ground, then Sue grabs the movies and tried to rip them out of her hands. I was so in shock at what I was seeing I couldn't even move. Sue finally gave up and I gave her the movies she wanted and later she found me again and said she had found more of the movies somewhere else so she grabbed me one. I had a great time and I got some Awsome movies. I would deff. do the BF for the movies again :) It was a good week and I kept watching the weather to make sure I didn't get caught in snow again. Thankfully the roads were fine on my way back so I had no problems.
