playing catch up!

it's been awhile! i'm still alive don't worry!
this year has been fantastic already but to catch you up for christmas i put up a tree in my apartment to make it seem more christmasy. the first tree i put up was a little to small as you can see:


so then i decided to put up 6.5 ft tall tree. it looked a little better in my living room. it took forever for me to figure out how to put it up! so many pieces!




the tree looked good and so did the lights in the window! christmas was great. it was nice to go home and see my family and some friends. while i was home i was able to go with my sister, niece, and mom to see the lights at the hogle zoo. it was fun but very very cold!





for new years we had a few friends over to our apartment just to play games and mess around! it was fun! i'm glad i got to see "the weeping willow", it was fabulous!
while i was home i also made a big change to my person! i dyed my hair back to blonde. it didn't turn out as blonde as i was hoping. it had a funny and yet ugly shade of red to it but then i got it done again and now it is a very nice light strawberry blonde. one more time and i think i will be done!


last night a group of my friends and i decided to go to karaoke last night at the honolulu grill. it is so funny to watch people sing and dance and make fools of themselves! it makes me laugh! somehow my friends kelsey and jailyn talked me into singing wannabe by the spice girls! it was way fun but way embarrassing. i am so glad that i didn't get it on video!
another thing that was a first for me happened yesterday as well....i tried sushi! it was actually pretty good! i was very surprised. i think it is safe to say i might even be willing to try it again but that might be stretching it!
all in all the new year has been good to me. school has started which is keeping me very busy! but life is good and i'm sad my sister is moving in two weeks but i guess it's okay! love you sister!!
