California.....

So as many of you know, For Christmas this year we were blessed with an opportunity to come here to California and stay for this week. And well... We're here! 

It's so absolutely beautiful, too bad its raining. However our trip went well, We managed to only run into  some snow and we made it to San clemente at 230 On Sunday Morning. 

Our little condo is cozy and we have the most spectacular veiw of the ocean out our front window. 

Pictures are to come. 

Needless to say, I'm having fun.

One Whole Year....

I Really Like The End of the year. Like Alot! It's such a great time where everyone is reminiscing, planning, and making decisions on what they want their next year to look like. If anyone knows me, they know I'm a planner, so aside from all the reasons to eat a whole whack of junk i also get to plan, think and ponder. That's my favorite.

This year has been so fantastic that it may be hard for me to put into words So i figure i'm just going to put it into point form to make this easier for ya'll to read.
The Highlights of 2008 Or From This Time Last Year Are:

• December 26th-Brandon and I Officially Became a Couple

Sickk...

So I Haven't been feeling very well for the past few days. In fact I even ditched out on church; which doesn't happen often. My throat has been uber sore and nasty, and mom even made me stay home from Randy's Party last night. {Sorry Randy, Happy Birthday Anyways Bud!} So i stayed home and went to be early-ish and took some gravol to sleep through the night; only to wake up, go to a mirror, open my mouth and find my worst fears come to life. I Have Strep throat!
I HATE Strep Throat!

&&did you know that the bacteria that causes strep throat also causes flesh eating disease.

Needless to say I will not be licking, or get ANY spit on my cuts. haha {Not that I would anyways cause that is just gross.}

Should There Be Limits on Freedom of the Press........

I just really wanted to write something, cause I'm cool like that.

I'm not going to write about tree decorating, cause everyone does that...
And I don't really have anything super new to blog about. However... My boyfriend is still moving to Courtenay, and it's been such a God thing that he has been able to, with confirmations left right and center, it gives me allowance to be EVEN MORE excited than i was like .. two days ago.

That being said it is 24 Days until he moves here. && It's also 12 Days Until my family leaves for our trip to California over Christmas. I am very excited because.. we got our Disney vacation planning packet in the mail last week and now I'm very excited cause i love Disney stuff. and even though we are only there for a day.. I'm still pretty stoked.

Other than that:
-The new Britney Spears Cd is Phenomenal
-I have a theory Exam on the 13th {Pray, Pray, Pray}
-I found the most profound verse on love last night.. {Song of songs 8:6-7; Check it. The Message is the best}
-Brandon Is looking for jobs, and hopefully that goes fantastically well.
-Youth group is on Wednesday night, And i am all too excited.
-The Parents of My Kids {That I Babysit} are home today so that means I get to go to work this week and I am very excited.

And that's all i have to say about that.

Ps: That title is the next forum post deal I need to do, Answer back .. haha
