It’s that time of year

That’s right. Its CHRISTMAS time. One of my favorite times of the year. There are so many things I love about this time of year. I love decorating the house. I love shopping for the perfect gift for each person on your list. I love singing Christmas songs while I am in the kitchen cooking/baking. I love the feeling of the crisp air on my lungs during a good snowball fight and I love curling up by the fireplace under a blanket watching a Christmas movie.

My roommates and I have been doing that a lot these days. ABC Family and the Hallmark channel have been rocking our world in that area.

In honor of the times I listed a bunch of holiday movies that I love. Trying to pick a favorite is difficult. Just as I decide on one something about another makes me think I like that one better. Its a vicious cycle. So instead they are all just listed at random. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday To Me

My friend Bryce made this little video for me for my birthday

last week and I just thought I would share.

My 25th year

Over the last couple of weeks I have been thinking about my birthday and how I have spent the last year. I would love to say that the saying "one year older makes you wiser" is true. Unfortunately this last year was not that. haha. I am the same obnoxious, loud and hot tempered girl I have always been. The same things frustrate me. The same things irritate me, but each life experience makes me stronger. Needless to say I had a TON of fun this last year. One of the best years ever.

My 25th year was full of a lot of firsts and/or rare acts. I made a list of the top 11 things that

were part of the TON-O-FUN I had this last year. Why 11 you ask. For fun.

1. Experienced my first car crash... oh and it was a goody.

2. Lizard-sat my friend Kirk's Bearded Dragon lizard; Jax.

3. Road Trip to St. George Utah and Las Vegas for the first time.

4.Reached the 2 year mark at Molina Healthcare. I love my job.

5. Went to So You Think You Can Dance.

6. Decided to change it up a little and after 5 years cut my hair short.

Besides the Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin references I actually quite like it.

7. Became an FBI agent. The revolver and the pistol were

my favorite.

8. Discovered English food. Eating it and cooking it.

9. Rode the Alpine slide for the first time. Fun... Fun... Fun... but so cold.

10. Made a diaper cake. This was fun to learn how to make.

11. Went on the trip of a lifetime. 2 week in England with the best room mates ever.
