Update

Okay...It has been a long time since I have gotten on here. I have been overwhelmed with all the fun holidays stuff going on but now that it is all over I am a little sad and my life needs a little excitement again. So here I am blogging. So quick update on my holidays. They were fantastic but of course they were..what is better than the Christmas Holiday? NOTHING!!! I got some fantastic things to add to my closet and many awesome things to accessorise them with. But nothing was more fun than watching the kids open all the presents that I bought( I did all the christmas shopping this year) and to watch Eric open the laptop, laptop bag and Oregon ducks sweatshirt I got him. The gifts I got him this year rocked if I do say so myself.

SO here is a list of the few of the many awesome things I got this year:

*"Bags that fit" boutique gifts from Mary!

*burlesque cd from Shelbs

*Rosette Clutch purse and wallet from mom and dad

* Superman belt buckle and Alice choker from Eric

* Elipse dvd from mawmaw

*Victoria secret perfume from Caroline

* an opal ring from Eric

*Gossip Girls season one from mom and dad

Here are some of the outfits I put together with the clothing I got from santa:

I wore a cream colored cardigan sweater(modest is hottest) with gold diamond trimming and paired it with pearl earrings and some cream colored heals. It was a hit!

I got a GUESS pea coat in bright red(similar to this one), pair with black skinny jeans,bright red heals and accesorize with some black 1928(my favorite) earrings and a black clutch purse(you don't want to over do it on the red).

I got this rose shrug and necklace for christmas. I paired it with layered necklaces, big pearl stud earrings, a lace tank top, and a pearl and ivory headband. It was stunning. Tons of compliments on this one.

Oh and look at this. Gorgeous! I think I need it to complete this outfit :)

I got a lace top similar to this one. I wear a black cami underneath it and match it up with my new black beaded necklace or my 1928 black cameo necklace with my lace white and black fingerless gloves, black rose headband with birdcage veil and black lace heals. People commented that I looked like I came out of a vogue magazine!(these are all similar looking to what I got but not exact.)

Here is a picture of my version of this outfit:

To look good you have to smell good....here are some of the great perfumes that I got for Christmas that are my favorite!!

Black Friday!!!!

Every year we look forward to it! We almost look forward to it more than Thanksgiving and as much as Christmas. ALMOST. We talk about it for weeks and then when it finally comes and goes we want it to last forever. Sounds stupid, I know. But it is the one time of year we can pull an all nighter, get great deals and do our favorite things: Shopping and spending time with each other. This year we brought some new comers along. It is pretty normal for Katie, Shelby, Ashley, Eric(sometimes) and I to go but this year we switched it up a little. It was a full car this year...Ashley, Shelby, Katie, Allie, Chloe, Caroline and I went. We stocked up on our caffeine, got dressed in warm clothes and loaded up in my mom's large vehicle. We started out at Walmart where we stood by the dvd's for about an hour. We all split up with our partners and stood by different dvd's that we wanted. I stood by the Telivision series and luckily some very nice gentlemen were willing to help me get the ones I wanted, so I didn't even have to do that much work. When the horns went off at 12:01am the chaos began! We gathered up all the dvd's we wanted to purchase and stood in line for about a half an hour. Afterwards, we hit the South Towne mall! Nothing made me happier than going to wet seal, charlotte rousse, Newyork & Company, etc and seeing signs that said 50 percent off everything in the store! It was as if Christmas had begun! We spent hours and hours at the mall as we split up in groups and then switched the groups when someone had to buy a gift for someone in their group!

Around 5am some of the girls got sleepy so we went home to fuel up on thanksgivng leftovers and to drop of the dead weight! After the drop off it was just Katie, Allie and I! Went went to the Orem mall and went to the few stores that were open there. Then we went to Target at 7am and by then all of the good stuff was pretty much picked over. Allie got tired so we took her home and then headed to Best Buy! Surprisingly enough we were able to get the main thing we wanted at Best buy. Afterwards we headed to the Orem mall again because by now All of the stores were open.

I'm pretty sure by this time I was looking a little bit on the zombie side but I didn't care! We shopped for a couple of more hours and then our bodies were giving out even though our hearts still wanted to shop! So we went home around noon.

We slept till about 3ish and then we woke up and all the girls were ready to go out again, so we did! We hit the Provo mall and then we went to Chilis for dinner. The girls drank their weight in Dr. pepper(like usual) and we got 3 refills of the chips in salsa. What can we say? Shopping makes you hungry!

We finished up at about 12:30pm. We literally shopped till we dropped!

Happy Slapsgiving!!!

It was a great thanksgiving. Not anything like our normal thanksgiving! I stayed up late the night before helping my mom make pies. After hardly getting any sleep my mom came and knocked on my door the following morning at seven. I was soooo tired but nothing was going to keep me from learning and making my first thanksgiving dinner. Since we were finished with the pies all we had left was the rolls, turkey, ham, yams, mash potatoes, salad and stuffing....okay that was kind of a lot but WE COULD DO IT!!! Stuffing the turkey was interesting but a lot easier than I thought. My mom showed me how to make the rolls while I finished the chocolate pies and then we put took a nap because I wasn't going to be able to make it through thanksgiving dinner if I didn't sleep a little.

When I woke up I got the potatoes going and took a bath. Mom woke up and we threw the rest of the food together. Dinner was on the table by three. We usually spend thanksgiving with the family and all the cousins but this year we just spent it with our small family. As we ate we talked about a bunch of family memories and the food turned out really yummy! You appreciate it a lot more when you cook it! I never realized how much work my mom put into thanksgiving! Unfortunately after one big plate of food I was stuffed....at least I tried a little bit of everything.

After everyone was done eating we all went around the table and each wrote something we were thankful for for each person and then we read them to everyone. It was a great thing to do and even though we laughed and joked a lot of the messages were very touching!

Here are some of the many things I am thankful for.....

BURLESQUE!!!

We put on my fun headband, threw on some tights and skirts and went to chilis and Burlesque! It was my type of movie! Loved the costumes, the music, the sexy guys and Christina Aguilera sure has some lungs! It was such an awesome night!

I love sleepovers with the girls! There always ends up being a photo shoot, snacks, movies and giggles!

Today was fantastic! It was one of those days where everything went according to plan. I planned on having the day off, which I did. I planned on going to Orem and spending the day with my sisters, which I did. I planned on having a GREAT day, which I did!

The day started off a little rocky when we went to "Pizza Pie Cafe". I have been on this so called "diet" for about two weeks. Yesterday I did a lot of sleeping and very little eating so the aroma of that food hit me like a ton of bricks! I was so hungry! I kept telling myself, " I got to be good, stick to the lettuce and mandarin oranges". But as we all know, animal food doesn't stick to your stomach and satisfy your taste buds, so I gave in and had some pasta! Man did I regret that! My stomach was not happy and I was not happy with myself! But my ongoing battle with food was not going to ruin my day!

Next, we went to a place that Eric would describe as something close to hell but to me it is the closest thing to heaven, right behind cheesecake(Mmmmmm), the mall. I actually made several great purchases and didn't feel guilty after making them(which was a first for me). I discovered that Shelby has an addiction to rings(she bought three) and that Katie and Shelby could become my two new favorite shopping buddies(lucky for you, Eric).

Last but not least, we went to see Eclipse! Ok, usually I would be one of those people who got midnight tickets for opening night but that energy died out after Twilight. We had plenty of people coming in to Chilis before and after their "Eclipse experince", I kinda felt like I was part of the crowd without even going to see it. My favorite were a group of women(probably around my moms age) that sat in my section because they claimed I looked like one of the characters, Alice. I had heard it before and was flattered but I was even more flattered when they left me a HUGE tip after spending awhile chatting like teenage girls about the movie. I didn't remember what a compliment it was to be told I looked like Alice! I freaking loved her in this movie! Which wasn't a big surprise because she is one of my favorite characters and is quite delightful in all the movies.

Some parts in the movie may have been a little over the top on the cheesy radar. But that almost made me love it even more because it is cheesy when a guy is saying romantic things left and right, that isn't real life, but it sure did bring out my giddy girl side! I just could look at jacob all day! I was a hardcore Edward fan when I read the books but now I am the middle...can you be a team Edward and Jacob fan? Because I think that is what I am. What about a team Carlisle fan? I could look at him all day...I can't think of a more dreamy, fictional character out there! In most cases I am not the typical girl and I may be going against the "cool" thing by saying this but I LOVED Eclipse! Thanks for the awesome night girls!
