Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

ABCFamily's 25 Days of Christmas starts tomorrow too with How the Grinch Stole Christmas! That will surely brighten my night after a long night of elections. Im already into being crafty for the big day and its almost an entire month and four exams away, but its a great thing to look forward too!

(So glad I can cross these bad boys off my Christmas list now thanks to a trip to Nordstrom with Mom!)

Ive always wanted to make one of these

I think im obsessed

I've never really been one to show emotion or talk about my feelings. I would hide any signs of liking a boy in public and I would only talk to the ones I really liked on the computer (so mature, right?). I was afraid of falling for someone and getting hurt along the way. Until it felt right.

I started liking this boy as a sophomore in high school. He was 'down always' and I was later to be named 'most likely to be in the know'. How we got together is still up in the air, Klug likes to take credit saying she planted the idea in our heads with a 'he said she said' story and I like to say it all started when he spilled water on me at a school dance (how nice), but however it started and ended and started and ended- it stuck. 

Now, six months/five years later, this boy and I are still together. We've had our problems- he gets on my nerves, I annoy him, he likes to play call of duty and listen to talk radio, and I like to snuggle and Keep up with the Kardashians. But somehow we make it work and boy, am I glad it does. Because its you, i like.

Shop or Not?

I can't decide if I want to go shopping on Black Friday or not. I live less than twenty minutes away from the second largest mall in America, so its my idea of heaven, but being a college kid with a college budget, leaves me a little on the broke side. BUT, I think a few paid back scratches and dusting the upstairs might get me a little spending money to buy pretty things like these, and if that doesnt do the trick, thats what credit cards are for right?

How awesome is this grown-up fort?

I want to eat dinner under it and listen to Christmas music and drink wine

and then curl up on this couch with a good book and hot chocolate, listening to sugarland,

and then climb into one of these amazing bunk beds.

This makes me want to live out west in a ski-lodge looking house and bundle up in wool sweaters and scarves and boots and play in the snow.

I've always wanted a claw tub to take baths in. There is something romantic about taking a bath in tubs like these, with candle light and bubbles, and rose petals just like in the movies. When I grow up and get a big girl house of my own, one of these tubs will definitely be in my bathroom.

Aren't they so pretty?

I once wrote this for Joe before we started dating. And now Im leaving for break. So here you go, boy. Try not to miss me too much while Im gone!

 

Today its time to go home. And I am beyond excited. I miss my bed. I miss home cooked meals. I miss my dog sleeping at my feet. But most important, I miss my family. So ready or not, Mom and Dad, here I come!

Found this...

which reminds me of this ...

and THIS....

This is whats getting me through the week

looking forward to wearing things like this to the game this weekend with friends!

Some days I have days where I have no idea what I'm doing or what I want with my life

I have this image in my head of what I want it to look like, but I don't necessarily want to have to wait to be where I want to be in life but then id be missing out on all of the little joys of getting there

Lately Ive been so happy. So unbelievably happy. But I am waiting for something else to happen to pull the rug out from under me

Ive always been like that even though I have tried so hard not to be, because whats the point in being scared?

So these days, I'm trying to enjoy the little things and learn its okay to be confused and sad and happy all at the same time. 

But oh so very happy
