This year should be interesting...for the first time in 10 years, I won't be in college. Don't be fooled...I've already been checking in PhD (in Public Health) programs and mom is working hard to convince me to wait at least until Fall 2009 to start. I will admit that I am having fun spending my money, and not working on homework!!! We'll see...the deadline isn't until March 15 for one place, and I'm not saying anymore until I make a final decision.
I'm looking forward to my birthday because 1) I'm going to see my favorite band ever, LINKIN PARK, with my nurse friend, her younger brother and his friend (this all happens to fall on the weekend before my birthday) and 2) I am buying myself a Coach purse. Yep, totally superficial reasons, but at this point, that's what I'm looking forward to turning 29 for and who knows what can happen in the next 2 months before my birthday. And that's all I'm saying about that at this point...I hate jinxing myself, so I'll be quiet about it.
Girlfriend is great, and I'll have pictures up from Christmas soon. She was a little out of sorts, because Mom and Dad ditched us for the week-and-a-half before Christmas and went to Hawaii for their 30-year anniversary. Girlfriend stayed with Uncle A and Auntie L for a few nights while I worked 3 nights in a row and had a day of class in there, too. Girlfriend kept saying, "I miss my whole family." Mom and Dad had an awesome time and of course, it will be necessary to post those pictures, too. The day that mom called to brag about laying by the pool when it was 12 degrees here was not the BEST phone call I'd ever gotten. :) Ha.
Hmm, I have some resolutions, but nothing I'm going to kill myself getting done. I need some time to just chill out, and we'll be doing that for a week in so Cal in March. But I have things I need to work on as well, but I'm not making a list setting myself up for failure. Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Christmas in Hawaii
Mom and Dad ditched us for a week-and-a-half and went to Hawaii for their 30-year anniversary. I know, how dare they?!? They loved it, and have promised that we are all going back next December. So, needless to say, we are psyched about that! Girlfriend kept saying, "When are mamaw and papaw coming back from the hawhy?" She didn't think much of their being gone and ran to them at the airport like she hadn't seen them in years. Mom and Dad had a great time, and I'm glad because they deserved the trip. :) Plus, they brought back awesome gifts! :)**The above picture is a taste of the Hawaii pictures. It was from the Luau Mom and Dad went to on their anniversary date, and everyone thought it turned out well. More pictures later.**

First Snow Day
Our first snow of the season was this past either Tuesday or Wednesday...we woke up to about 4 inches of snow and ended up with about 6.5 that day. Girlfriend played with the neighbor kids outside and she LOVED it. Problem was, I hadn't bought her snow gear yet so she got cold (seeing as how it was minus 4 then warmed up to 12 degrees during the day). Everyone else must have had the same problem b/c on Thursday when I went to buy her boots and thick mittens, there was only one pair of boots in her size to choose from and no mittens. Girlfriend loves making snow angels and she had so much fun playing with her friends! Enjoy the pictures.

Tagged
My friend from nursing school tagged me, so here are 7 random things about me.
1. I have to look up at my reflection in the elevator mirror ceiling EVERY time I am on an elevator. Try it. Sometimes, I am non-chalant, other times obvious.
2. I pick out the banana candies from the Runts package.
3. I always wanted a job where I used a cash register, and when I finally had that chance in college, I sucked majorly.
4. I was not sick one day while pregnant with girlfriend...no puking except when I went into labor.
5. I still have a hair barette my dad gave me when I was about 4 years old.
6. I caught my bouquet of flowers on fire at my brother's wedding. My brother's friend (whom I've known for 13 years or so) said, "Sis, you're on fire." I was confused until he pointed to the bouquet burning and helped me blow it out. No major scene involved.
7. I always wanted to marry Steve Young.
