everything is christmas & nothing hurts

via Tumblr...it's a little early but then again it's not because Thanksgiving is over & Christmas is HERE!

I have this thing where I refuse to acknowledge Christmas in my mind until the day after Thanksgiving. Working at CFA kinda forced me to think about it every time I make a Peppermint Milkshake, but other than that, I've managed to rebel against society and kinda boycott Christmas.

UNTIL TODAY.

Like the title says, everything is Christmas and nothing hurt. I didn't do a huge change to the blog (just changed the orange to green & a new sidebar picture. enjoy my face all Christmas-y !), but things are coming together for a cool winter design at the New Year. Let's take a mo to appreciate my pun AND the fact it's almost another year.

::moment::

OK, I'm good. So where was I? Oh yeah, CHRISTMAS! T-minus one month until we get to celebrate our Savior's birth. Cue me singing Christmas songs very loudly and wearing red/green all month long.

T-MINUS ONE YEAR UNTIL...

ONE YEAR UNTIL THIS MOVIE READERS!

::fangirling::

OK, now I'm off to reread this flippin' amazing trilogy in my Thanksgiving-induced food coma because I need me some romancing from the one and only Peeta.

Are any of you as excited as I am for t-minus 364 days until Catching Fire? (please say yes)

Pea ess: Thanksgiving recap post coming, readers! I just couldn't not mark this huge event. Turkey day ramblings shall commence after this post publishes.
 

PARTAY!

As of 4pm today, I am free of work & school so my Thanksgiving break can really begin! So far I've been rewatching Firefly (Gosh, I love YOUNG NATHAN FILLION that show so much), washing every.single.dish in the house from the Thanksgiving cooking, and reorganizing my room. Drawers, closet, desk, everything. I know how to have a good time ya'll. This is my "I'm having a good time face" in case you were wondering...

Ok, so not really my excited face, but I wanted to show off my hair again. Rachel is amazing with hair.

How's your Thansgiving week going so far, readers? Because let's be real, it takes a whole week to eat all the Thanksgiving food so it's like a Thanksgiving week.

adventures with Rachel {volume 2}

Jack photo-bombs like no one else. Except maybe Conner.

Guys, I just love this girl so much. In case you couldn't tell by the pictures above. We are soulmates. We finish each other's sentences, text EVERY.SINGLE.DAY, have the exact same tastes and opinions. I haven't taken any pictures of our adventures, but that doesn't mean I can't write about them.

We've still kept up our Coffee Shack dates but here lately we've been hanging out extra cause we can.
On our last adventure, I picked her up & we went to raid Goodwill then went out to eat at Chili's after hitting up Target. We ended the night with fro yo and Regeneration meeting. Basically, we go on dates with one another since both our boys live so far away.

I love you Rachie! You are too sweet to me and I just love your beautiful face so much so I had to give you a shout-out.

Pea ess: pictures are from STORM 2012, which happened over the weekend. Pictures are coming, I promise!

I'M ALIVEEE!

How's that for a dramatic title?

So hi guys! Remember me? Here's some pictures of my face in case you forgot what you looked like in the month since I've posted a picture of my face.

Thank you for allowing me to be vain for two seconds.

Truth is, I barely remember myself. And that's not said to scare you, it's quite possibly meant as a good thing. I'm still trying to decide though. I'll let ya know when I do.

If you had told me I would be all the things I would be doing at this time last year I would've laughed loudly in your face. Truth is, I'm laughing at it all right now. I usually work 20 hours a week at least. Since I don't work Tuesdays & Thursday due to CBS in the morning and class in the afternoon, I work M-W-F-S most weeks. Add in WOL and Miss Lorraine's Bible Study and the homeschool yearbook and you've got me, little ol' SA, failing at all these commitments almost every day. It reminds me of how HUMAN I am and how gracious God is to help me with all I put on myself.

So that's my life right now. Things are happening, things that I should probably start telling people but just can't wrap my mind around. It is very stressful, I'm not gonna lie. Because liars are poopypants and I'm don't want to be a poopypants. But God is good and I have a great boss and great teachers and only work two days this week, and only have one class this week so I'm basically on vacation.

I hope your Thanksgiving break is gonna be as flippin' awesome as mine is, readers. Thanks for following me through it all.

Pea ess: This post is dedicated to my big brother, Sam, who has been on my case to post something for weeks now. Love ya, dude.
