Merry Merry...

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas! I sure did. I saw my family, had fun times with my sisters, and got great gifts from everyone! I need to get the pictures from everyone and then I shall post them. But other than that, I have nothing much to post. The end!

White Christmas

OMG will it PLEASE stop snowing already??? It snowed all day yesterday, which made traveling a little precarious, but it still hasn't stopped! I measured outside my apartments, and it has snowed 11 inches and it's not stopping!

Christmas bells are ringing!

Ah Christmas. I love it. It is my second favorite holiday. Its just that feeling you get, no matter how old you get there is a certain magic about this time of year. The same way you can smell when it is fall, or the fun you have carving pumpkins. Its just always there. I also love decorating the Christmas tree and how pretty it looks with all the presents underneath.
I love my tree because my parents gave it to me, and it's the same tree we had for years. I love decorating it with my pretty ornaments. It doesn't have a topper right now, but that is because I really would like a moon to go on top. It's different than the traditional tree but that's what I want. I think I'll have to make it myself. I want a pretty silver crescent moon to go on top of my tree. It will go beautifully with my ornaments.
I got most of my christmas shopping done today, still have a little to do, but it's not very stressful now that most of it is taken care of. I sure hope everyone loves their gifts. Tomorrow I will go shopping with Ema, who I haven't seen in SUCH a long time. And it will be loads of fun. I get to see her pregnant belly! awww! I really can't believe it's Christmas again. This year went by SO fast. Maybe because I'm getting old. But it doesn't matter because I am happy. :D

California...

Hmmm. So right now I don't have anything exciting to write about except that I will again be attempting Christmas shopping tonight. And that is not exciting. SO- I will tell you about my trip to Cali that I took at the end of november. Yay! I went with Beau's family to visit his pretty much sister in law who lives in Santa Maria.
Ok so we drove all day thursday and finally arrived in lovely Cali late thursday night. Didn't do anything that night because we were all so exhausted.
Next day, friday, we woke up and played wii for a long time. Wiis are so so so much fun. Later on, we went to this AMAZING sushi place. When I say amazing, I mean like the best thing in the world IMO. The sushi rolls were HUGE, like twice the size of regular ones. And they were delicious. I dunno if the fish were right out of the ocean or something but I would eat that stuff every single day if I could. After that, we came home and played a game of Cranium. Which was so much fun. I laughed oh so much. loved that.
Next day was Saturday. Oh that saturday. We went to Magic Mountain. It is the best theme park in the world in my opinion. The first ride we went on was X2. WOW that ride is the most terrifying/fun/exhilarating ride I've ever experienced. If you were unlucky enough to be the one sitting next to me, if you could hear me over your own screams, you would swear I was being brutally murdered. I never screamed so much in my life. You get off the ride hyperventilating. Here is a video, but It was oh so much more intense and you can't even see the giant fireball that hurtles at your face in the end.



We rode all the rides at least twice, some twice in a row without even getting off. One we rode 5 times in a row. It was the perfect day to go. I had SO much fun!!!
The next day we went to the beach. I attempted surfing but sadly failed miserably. I just couldn't handle the board. So I ditched it and just played with the ocean for a few hours. I had so much more fun when I just played with the ocean instead of trying to make it work for me. Beau did really well though, his first time surfing he actually got up and surfed like 5 times! He's just good at everything though. Grr.
On Monday we all went and played lasertag. It was really fun! I've never gone before and I actually didnt do too bad.
Tuesday night we went to Chumash casino because it is 18 and older. So even Beau's little brother Brock could go. It was really no fun for me, because I brought 20 dollars and lost it all pretty quick. But Beau's mom won like 200 dollars or something. I dunno, gamblings just not so fun for me.
Hmm....I don't thing we really did much on wednesday except prepare for Thanksgiving. Oh and I met two lovelies Kiele and Nani. They were so adorable, like 7 and 5 years old or something, not really sure. But they became attatched to me for some reason and we were best friends from then on. I miss them, they were so cute.
Thanksgiving was also way fun. We all ate delicious food and then played games afterwards which is always so funny and I always laugh my head off.
Friday night we went shark fishing. It was also Beau's brother Austins birthday. We drove all the way to the pier where there's all these signs saying beware of sharks. And we got our fishing poles set up prepared to catch some fish, which we would then use as bait for the sharks. Needless to say, we had no luck. All we caught were four starfish. But I don't care because I had so much fun. There's this place on the pier where you can go down to where the boats go and stuff, and you're on this platform right on top of the water. When the waves come in sometimes they even come up over the platform. I had so much fun standing on it and jumping over waves, if it wasn't so cold I would have jumped in the ocean and swam. Yes in the dark. Dont worry it was right by the pier I'm sure there aren't sharks swimming around between the poles. At one point I was looking into the dark water and I saw this huge looming figure swimming down below. I was like OMG thats the biggest freaking fish I have ever seen in my life! Christina, starts laughing so hard, and says "that's a seal!" It was awesome. I saw a seal . And the whole time we were out there we could hear the seals barking and see them jumping. That was the best night in a long time. I love the ocean more than anything.
Saturday was sadly our last real day in Cali, so we went down to Santa Barbara to see the ocean again. California is so beautiful I would do anything to move there.
There's this huge pier in Santa Barbara where you can actually drive your car on it and park at the end. It was so awesome. We spent all day there just shopping for souviniers and we ate at this restaurant out on the pier where you can eat and stare at the ocean. Perfect.
The next day, we sadly had to drive home. But I was happy because I missed charlie so much. And that's pretty much my trip! Yay!

Ugh Christmas...

I do this every year. I am still not done with Christmas shopping. Now I am worried I won't get it done, because I literally have like 2 days to do it. Horrible right? I am such a procrastinator. I really hope I can get it done, except, you know, I don't even know what to get some people. Christmas shopping is frustrating. But I sure love Christmas. At least I got my Christmas present early.
Charlie was pretty pissed about the bow on his head, but look how happy Beau looks! Laughing with glee, as was I. Charlie just doesn't like girly stuff I guess. He doesn't like the sweaters I crochet for him either. Little poop. Ah well, off to bed with me.

Third time's the charm.....

Ok so I had two blogs before. And I deleted them both. But here I am, looking at all my families blogs. And they are so exciting/funny/awesome that I wanna comment them right? But guess what. I can't because I don't have blogger. So I keep checking them and checking them, until finally I give in and voila, my newest blog. So here you go.
