Friends and LMAOs

I love my bestfriend (and other besties). I love her cz she's crazy and because she tells me to shut up when I need to. She's constantly harassing me about finding a boyfriend even when I tell her to leave me alone. I love her cz she's always honest and even if I don't talk to her for weeks I know that it'll be fine when I do talk to her. Mostly I love her cz I know she always has my best interest at heart. And even if I meet and fall in love with my husband next year she'll be the longest relationship I've ever been in! (and she knows it too)

Just Mia, Keep Out

Mia was mad because we were teasing her. She couldn't find her keep out door hanger so she made her own. Next thing I know she had locked herself in Mami's room and kicked us all to the curb.

This was my favorite tree

I like surprises

Look at my baby!!

Every year we celebrate Christmas at midnight on Christmas Eve. We have a big dinner and invite family and friends to come celebrate with us. Although we missed all of the people that couldn't make it this year we made due. I took a couple pictures to help me remember this night.

A Serious Conversation

Mia: Naty, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Natalia: An accountant

Mia: What's that do?

Natalia: I count money

Mia: oh okay, but do you want to get married???

Natalia: Yesssss, one day. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Mia: A mom

Natalia: Really??? How many babies will you have?

Mia: 3

Natalia: Oh wow!

Mia: Yeah, that's not a lot



Put to shame by my own sister!!!
Look at her already knowing how many babies she will have! Can you imagine a Disney princess with babies??

The Nutcracker

My friend Rachelle is moving and leaving Utah behind. In honor of her move and because it would be the last time we saw each other for a while we went to go see Nutcracker in SLC before I left for the holidays. We had a great time as usual and enjoyed the show.

Things to look forward too

Today I took my last two major finals for the semester. I was practically keeling over with exhaustion and weariness after I left the testing center. This has been a hard semester as far as my schedule and classes went. I felt I was constantly in groups and running around. I'm so glad it's over!!!!

That being said, I can finally let myself get excited and start looking forward to a few things this Christmas Break.

Here's a couple of them:

Having a fun last weekend with friends in UT especially since I'll be seeing The Nutcracker with Rachelle (post on that soon)

Our annual Christmas Party at Stephen's house

I'm REALLY looking forward to carrying a purse without any extra notecards, pens, pencils, highlighters, flash drives, or school supplies in it.  It's like a surprise every time I stick my hand in to find something.


Seeing the lights at temple square

Going to get manicures with Mia

Going to Disney World with my brothers

Going to restaurants in Jersey that Amber has picked out for us

A last Christmas dinner with my siblings in UT, including making gingerbread houses and decorating a tree

I'm looking forward to getting rid of paper. I am surrounded by paper!! I have lists all over the place, I am constantly writing on scratch pads writing equations and whatever else I can think of. I had a friend send me a box filled with notepads and  notecards last September. A BOX!!!  I have used every single notepad, post-it, and notecard she sent. I get a weird sense of satisfaction when I reach the last page in a notepad and look forward to the end of a semester so I can throw away every single used up sheet. Is that crazy???

Finishing up the Pretty Little Liars series and some more Stephanie Plum books.

Lastly, as crazy as it sounds, doing my laundry, cleaning my room, and cleaning the car!!!

Finally, I will finish changing my blog. I tried to overhaul it a couple weeks ago but then realized it would take too much time and energy and creative juices I didn't have at the time. Hopefully I'll have a new look in a couple of weeks.

Christmas Came Early

Christmas came a little early for me this year. The comedian Kevin Hart came to SLC to perform his new tour over the weekend since Andrea knows how much I love to laugh she bought us some tickets and took me as my Christmas gift. We had an amazing time and laughed for hours. All of his opening acts were hilarious and he was amazing. The best part- at the end of the night I got to go backstage and meet him!!!! HOLLAAAAAA!! Although, that had more to do with his camera man being a creeper and trying to impress me than anything else. Whatever, I let him think he was all that until I met Kevin and then I went home. It's one of the best presents I've ever received. We weren't allowed to take any pictures or video in the venue during the show but I couple of pics of me for you to look at haha. I've even included a short video for you to watch so that you can see how funny he is. He curses a lot so....watch yourself.

Standing in line

She was so excited. I love this picture

Posing

Jhene, Drea, Nat

Star of the show!!

Wedding

Evan got married this weekend. The 2nd person from Jersey in 3 years to get married. I know the stereotype in UT is that everyone gets married as soon as they land but the kids from NJ aren't dropping like flies.  What's up???

My favorite girl

Friends <3

BFFS

While everyone was at the temple I was babysat one of my favorite girls, Bellsie. After everyone got back we all dressed up and went to the grooms luncheon at The Hampton House in SLC. I was too busy eating my meal to take pictures but the food was absolutely delicious.

Warm Weather?

It used to be blazing hot in Utah. Then we had fall and it was okay because I don't mind heading out in hot leather boots and dark jeans with long sleeve shirts on. Sometimes it's the perfect outfit when you don't need a jacket or coat. Now, however, I am freezing my ass off and all I want to do is lay on a beach somewhere. I hate having to pile tons and tons of layers on. I can never accurately predict the weather at certain times of the day so I'm either sweating or freezing.

Currently, I am experiencing this:

I want to be here:

Two more weeks and I get to the part on my calendar that has absolutely nothing scheduled for 3 weeks, just keeping my head down and barging through.
