Christmas time

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday!
The snow is beautiful, the people are happy and jolly
The food is delicious and always tastes better than any other time of the year
The smells are warming and just remind you of the season
BUT the malls are crazy, shopping stores are busy and people have crazy eyes for a particular item or toy.
But I guess it all comes with the territory and it is truly Christmas when all these things happen! :)

Merry Christmas

Christmas!

For Christmas Im probably getting money and gift cards. I usually dont get actual things for Christmas because my mom doesnt know what to get me so she just gives me money to get what I want. My family has so many people in it so we dont get presents from everyone. The little kids draw names and buy for eachother, the adults play dirty santa.

Thanksgiving!!!! :)

Ham, (dont really like turkey its kinda dry)
dressing
green bean casserole
corn bread casserole
rolls!
mashed potatoes
mac and cheese
pies, i dont like pumpkin or pecan, so we usually have chocolate stuff
and I love whipped cream! :) yummy!

rain

Rain to me means a great day to go in your room, lay in your bed and get some r and r. I love falling asleep to the sound of rain. Its really hard to actually get out of the bed in the mornings when its raining. But on the weekends although you usually dont want rain, would be the prime time for it to pour down. Unless you have early morning plans you can sleep in on the weekends and that is always good sleeping. Rain also means that all the little kids want to go out and play in it which is usually frowned upon by moms but its still fun.

veterans

Veterans are a big part of our world. They after all keep it safe and going. We dont really appreciate them until it is pretty much thrown in our face. I have an uncle that is in the military and he is awesome. He just got back from iraq not too long ago and it really is his passion. Although my aunt was pregnant with their second child when he left, it still gave him reason to go. He came home when she was having abby and he left shortly after to go back to work. I cant imagine how hard that was for him, but I know that he knew he had to no matter how hard. He is going to retire out now though because its time for his family and to grow old with them.

this weekend

This weekend was pretty boring, although friday was my birthday I had to work. But work isnt too hard so it was okay. They announced it like 3 times and sang a couple. Saturday was our biggest "sale" of the season so we were pretty busy saturday morning. We opened at 7 and closed at midnight which was insane considering we werent even busy past like 10 o clock. Sunday was just an ordinary sunday, dreading monday and yearning for friday. :)

halloween

halloween is tonight and there really isnt much to it now that im grown up. I did dress up because we could wear costumes to work but thats about it. I didnt go trick or treating sadly but the little kids I saw were so cute! Thats what I really like about halloween other than all the candy, the creative costumes. There was a very good turnout this year and i look forward to the years to come.

fall break

Fall Break isnt going to be very exciting but better than last. I have to work most days but thats okay because I love having money. :) Towards the end of the week though I am going to an aquarium. We are going for my friends little sisters birthday, so Im pretty excited. Also on Friday we are going to UK to see one of our friends that go there. So we will tour the campus and hang out until we leave Saturday morning. But its probably just going to be good to be able to sleep in for a week and not have to get up early and go to school.

halloween

Halloween is a very exciting time. It is also fun to see everyones different costumes. My favorite is the little kids costumes they are always in really cute ones. I dont go trick or treating anymore but I sometimes pass out the candy or walk around with my mom and little cousins while they do. Last year I went to a halloween party and that was pretty fun so hopefully their will be another one again this year.

autumn

Autumn is:
- new colors: oranges and browns create a totally new atmosphere
- weather: the weather is just right, not too cold but not too warm
- smells: there are different smells that are produced, such as pumpkin candles.
- decorations: being autumn holds two big holidays, halloween and thanksgiving. Before halloween you see all kinds of different carved pumpkins and sometimes scary decorations. Thanksgiving is the perfect time for great home cooking food and lots of it!

Autumn to me is the best time of the year, no doubt about it!

travel

When you travel with people on long drawn out trips you really grow to learn about the people you're with. Either they talk your head off and never shut up when all you want to do is sleep because it is probably early in the morning. Or they sleep the whole entire time and youre stuck sitting in the car twiddling your fingers and listening to your i pod. Then there is the other type of person that sprawls out on the back seat an leaves no room for you to possibly lay down yourself. They always manage to stick their feet in your face and I hate feet they are disgusting so then you spend the whole trip dodging their nasty toes. And heaven forbid you get a snorer and cant manage to fall asleep because you have become so focused on the loud obnoxious sound. So when you travel with people you are usually ready for the trip to be over before it even begins.

Marriage

I believe that people should bathe quite frequently but back in the day they apparently didnt know that. It is a good concept though, to get a bath in May and marry in June back then but today that idea is pretty grose. Flowers you usually think as something that is just a decoration in a wedding and something pretty and accenting for the bride to carry, not something to hide an odor. I would much rather have people bathe more often than not and just have flowers as something pretty to compliment the wedding not hide someones bad odor. As a young girl I am sure that in our minds the mideval times ceremony wasnt exactly what we had in mind.

Spring

Spring is my favorite season, I love the weather, not too hot and not too cold, its perfect. Spring makes me think about flowers blooming and birds singing. Its the perfect time to go outside and watch football games! I love the clothes you can wear, a light jacket for the cooler days or a long sleeve shirt and shorts will usually suffice. I want to move to somewhere that has spring type weather all year round, that would be the perfect place.

No potatoes

My life without potatoes would be pretty weird. I love french fries and mashed potatoes, and also loaded baked potatoes. But if you never have had potatoes then you wouldnt know what you were missing out on. Loaded baked potatoes are so good though I couldnt imagine not ever being introduced to them. Mcdonalds wouldnt be in business and that is mind boggling in and of itself. They are so popular these days, especially for their fries. We would all be healthier people though without that starchy food intake. Maybe our lives without potatoes would be physically more beneficial but our taste buds would be missing something severly!

Love? Blind or not?

Love can be blind because people in love may not see what outsiders see. Their relationship may not be healthy but they dont know it because all they know is they think they are in love. But love may not be blind, people may be able to see their faults and work on them.

"A family that laughs together stays together."

Laughter is the best medicine, I truly believe that. Laughing can cure any bad mood or can just totally brighten up a dark day. When I laugh its the best feeling, especially when it is uncontrolable or something that you can think back to and laugh about 4 days later. Many people make me laugh, friends- mackenzie, kirsten , holley, and Jarid. My family is also pretty comedic, they know just what to say to make it a better day.

Weekend 2

This weekend is going to be pretty exciting. There is a game tonight and I absolutely love to watch our football games. Saturday will just be filled with working at Jcpenney, and thats pretty much all thats going to happen on Saturday. I may go down to Nashville Sunday to hang out with the family and celebrate my newly 1 year old cousins birthday. We plan on going out on the boat either sunday or monday, and I havent been on it in a while but it should be quite promising. But the long weekend will be a good time to relax and enjoy.

Friends

Friends are a very important factor in my life. I dont know what I do without them, they are the people I run to when I am having any kind of problems in my life. We have so much fun together no matter what we do. We do so many random things when we hang out but thats what makes us, us. I love them so much and its going to be really different when we all leave and go off to college. But hopefully a couple of us go to the same one so at least we have a base to start off with.

family

Family to me means a sense of placement. It means that no matter what stupid thing you do or if anything happens they will still love you unconditionally. My place in my family is really just kind of a free spirit, I occasionaly watch my brothers, but with school and work and friends I dont really spend a lot of time at home. Me and my mom are the closest people in my family but now that she got a new job and with my plans its hard for us to spend as much time together as we would like. But thats family for me! :)

Weekend

Next weekend Im going to a Sugarland concert in Nashville. Im soo excited, its my first concert, and I love them so its hopefully going to be pretty promising. Im going down with my mom and Jarid, although my grandma is going to the concert with us (pretty odd) but im still excited!
