latest read

a little update on what i've been doing with my off track... well nothing really besides working at the credit union and going to the gym. but i have picked up on a little reading. i actually hate reading but i must be bored enough that it sounded fun. i was at walmart the other day picking up some stuff and looking at magazines when i found a book that looked interesting. i found The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. i realize that i'm a little behind on the excitement about this trilogy but i really had no interest before. it was six dollars so i thought what the heck.. i'll give it a whirl. little did i know i fell in love with it. i bought it on saturday and finished it today and that is a record for myself who doesn't entirely enjoy reading. i don't want to give anything away but i highly recommend this for anyone who wants an easy read with lots of action and romance. you won't be disappointed! and now i'm gonna head back to walmart for the second book!

the hoLAZYdays

so my siblings thought it would be cool and let me fly solo again with the parents for christmas this year (even though it's our off year and they are at their in-laws:). it was a very quiet and relaxing christmas break.  i was able to catch up with some friends and enjoy being lazy before i had to go back to work.

a big happy birthday to this great fella!! i am so thankful for him and everything he does for me (and he does A LOT) he is the most amazing dad ever! hope you had a good one.. love you dad!

 we had christmas eve at the Valentine's as usual.. one of my favorite traditions. and then after we always get to come home and open our christmas pajama present! 

Merry Christmas everyone! i look especially great this christmas morning but i promised erin davis i would put this picture on my blog. ever since we were little my mom has made us set up all of our presents so they look nice and then we had to sit and take a picture in front of them. and that still continues today.

 haha this was probably the highlight of my christmas but my brother in laws have the greatest sense of humor. whenever they are here for christmas they find random things around the house and wrap them for other family members and they put other people's names on them... it's pretty hilarious to watch them open up the gifts because they didn't know they were getting a gift and the other person didn't know they were giving the gift. so this year since they weren't here i continued the tradition and wrapped a couple of gifts for my parents from my brother in laws... adam and steve. great ideas for gifts this year guys! look how happy they look! they loved them!

 i got to catch up with some of my best friends ashley and kaitlyn before they headed back to school. we went and saw burlesque. two thumbs up for that show from me!
