the great de-freeze

i keep forgetting i went to hawaii the other week because it feels like sucha dream, but sometimes people ask me "why are you so tan" and on the outside i say i fell asleep in the self-tanning booth--because if i tell them the truth they will get this faraway look and start drooling and i will walk away and they won't notice--but on the inside i say oh ya... hawaii. we went to the big island which is much bigger and much differenter than the other islands. it was nice. but don't take my word for it...

the great freeze

as always, this has been the coldest winter i can remember. but here are some things that have happened. i went to the nutcracker with maria and bianca:

i moved out of my cozy old apt into a cozier and older one. i love it and will post pics when more of my exciting projects are done. one 09 resolution was to learn how to fix up old furniture, so i am working on a table and a few chairs. these are some of the roommates that i have left
i am still alive through many snow storms and falling on ices and bruised tailbones. please let this be my last winter here.he sold his watch to buy me these shoes and i sold my hair to buy hisand it was christmas. but you knew that.

look it's a baby!

my brother justin and his wife lindsey had their baby yesterday, her name is annabelle. i think that is pretty great. i can't wait to meet her. here's to the next generation! congrats and welcome baby!
