Happy 2012!

I love making New Year's Resolutions even though most the time I hardly ever keep them :) But this year I plan to, that actually should be my resolution! My favorite person in the world told me about this thing where you pick one thing you would like to change & write it down then do it & after cross it off and choose something else :) Seems like a pretty good idea to me :) that will be what I will do I think!

Meeting Talen :)

Wow. Cutest little boy ever. I don't even really have words for him! I just love him & I just met him!! That little 3 year old is the sweetest! I wish so badly that I didn't have to say goodbye to him or at least had longer time with him!

Talen & I 

I was so happy that when I met him for the first time that he knew exactly who I was & wasn't shy enough to hug me!! Cause I had no idea what to do :) We played lots & lots & lots of games... we cleared out the house with games! He is just too cute. :)

I over heard him tell Sean happily, "Natalie likes me!! Which is good cause I like her too." Later he also said I was as cute as a button :) hahaha glad he thinks so! I just love him thee end. 

Us playing cards!

A Dorm Thanksgiving :)

Me & Madeline prepping

Well this was a quite wonderful event :) I just love my roommates! One night (very very late) Madeline, Dianne, and I decided to have a Thanksgiving with everyone before! So we made really crappy fliers for every one and a sign up sheet of a bunch of Thanksgiving foods :D It turned out that everyone wanted to do it too sooo PERFECT! :)

The boys!

The girls!

 We all dressed up fancy & had such a great time! Oh I just love holidays :)

Mm...mmm... Good!

Look how cute we all are :)

Everyone was scrambling about the food and everything! Finally when it came we had a huge wonderful assortment of foods! We pulled a bunch of couches & chairs together and brought tables down and had our feast! It was really really good! Everyone was stuffed just like a real Thanksgiving! :)
Hooray for us we are grown ups now :)

Halloween- the HOWL :)

Wow okay! It was a pretty awesome weekend! I actually have felt like Halloween was a whole month event going to scary places, bon fires, scary movies, pumpkin painting, and of course the HOWL!
All month I was scared out of my mind.. I don't exactly know why! But something about this year really freaked me out! My friends came up the weekend of Halloween and I am so glad that they did. I have really missed them and they made the HOWL better than I could have imagined!






Mexican, Ke$ha, lil boy!



Shalena and Carly came up and we had fun playing games and sleeping in forts! Yes.. we are like 5 year olds! But it was awesome! :) Sawyer, Jaron, Kat, and Caitlyn came up and we got to see Jen!! We all dressed up got some good food and got some priceless looks ;) First of all we got into the HOWL so easily! The dance party was the best part, Cartel was popular back in the day so we didn't really know how to dance to it. But with all our friends there we had the time of our lives dancing like freaks to the DJ in the back of the crowd :) Typical us!

The best was the guys that would try and hit on us but would fail.. :)
"I hope you girls know you look hot tonight."-most used all night, come on guys become original here.



Aren't we cute :)



Best of friends :)





Jen and I had so much fun finding Waldos and following the creepy ninja around! It was pretty entertaining. Also the random guy that would do cheer tricks with me was pretty interesting! Don't know where he came from half the time but there he was ready to flip me! Apparently mine and Caitlyn's costumes were fails because I guess I looked like Ke$ha and she did not look like a eskimo "don't eskimos cover up" -"she's a slutty eskimo duh! It's Halloween" -maddie

There were some great laughs! I love my friends so much :D

After we stayed up talking and laughing our heads off! :) Pretty sure no one could go to sleep but finally 4:30 hit :)

Roomies :)

My roommates are just great! I have to say I lucked out :)


Madeline: Well we are just best of friends! We talk until the late hours of the night & have the best time (sometimes not as ourselves, we role play and cause awkward tension for others around us) But we are practically together 24/7 and joke that we need more time together! Yeah, people don't understand how we can go so long without getting sick of each other but something about our friendship just clicks. It is really a strange thing but I love it & wouldn't change it. I am so glad we are roommates :) We have some pretty amazing times together :)
Amanda: Oh she is just hilarious! I used to be scared of her.. and still am a little! But she wants that :) She lays everything out on the line & tells you exactly how it is no matter if it hurts you! I love it when she is hyper she is seriously hysterical! Sometimes I think she should be a comedian!
Bria: ...... no words...... she moved out unexpectantly... but oh well she never talked to Maddie & I so it was like she was a ghost for a long time :)
Tasha: She brought us a lot of stuff so we are all very grateful for that! I don't know her too well but she is nice :) I like her just haven't had the time to get to know her well. She always does something cute for us though, for Christmas she read us a little story & got us an orange :)
Beth: Oh this girl is a sweet little angel! I don't think I've met anyone so happy with everything & so sincere! She also is very service oriented and it is so nice to come home & have your dishes magically cleaned! Thanks Beth :) She is really funny too at first I didn't know how opinionated she was but she is just too cute :) She is really just a sweetheart!
Courtney: First she is hardly ever home she just is always out with her friends or boys ;) but she is so so funny!! We laugh because half of the things she says are a little out there! But I absolutely love her!! At first I thought she was going to be super dramatic but she isn't at all! Yeah she gets a little frustrated at first but she is so laid back & such an easy person to live with!
Dianne: Oh my Canadian roommate!! I just adore her! My first impression of her was that she "loves make up" and I don't let her live that down but that has come in handy! She is so funny!! We make fun of her a lot but she is so sweet and takes it with a smile but she can dish it right back :) Sometimes she says the wrong thing at the wrong time but that is what I love about her.. She is sincere and means what she says! She doesn't sugar coat what she has to say either unless we call her out on it. Her makeup skills have come in handy I am learning a lot from her. Sometimes I don't understand how she doesn't have a boyfriend!!! Any guy would  be so lucky to have her! Psh.. dumb boys. I love her :)


Then there are the boys... oh dear I just love them too :)
