the BIG 2-1


It has been a while since I have written. A lot has happened. I went home this past weekend to visit my family! I went and saw my cousin Natalie in her high school play "The Wizard of Oz". She played the Wicked Witch of the West. I also got to see my brother Jordan and my cousin in their drum line competition on Saturday. My sister Laura and I rented the movie, "The 10th Kingdom" it is like 7 hours long. We watched about 5 1/2 hours of the movie and realized that we did not have the third DVD. It was so sad! When I got back to Columbia Steve and I went to the Mizzou vs Kansas basketball game! It was fun and we ended up winning! YAY! I am having a very busy week! This Friday my friend Meghan is having her 20th birthday party...and it is a "Roaring 20's" theme! I get to dress like a flapper girl! I am excited! Well I don't have anymore to say! I have to get some homework finished!

Steven and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on January 14th. I can't believe we having been dating that long already! It was really fun! He took me to the Melting Pot, one of my favorite restaurants! It was super good and we had so much fun! I am back in Columbia now and I start classes back up tomorrow! Hopefully I can get back into the swing of school and become more focused! My cousin Karlee goes to Mizzou with me now! It is nice to have her here with me! I just got back here today and we already met up and hung out for a while. Tomorrow I think we are going to have lunch together! Exciting! Well I hope everyone had a great three day weekend and will have a great four day work week! Ciao!

תְּשַׁע-עֶשְֹרֵה


I can't believe that it is 2009 now! This past year has gone by so fast! Today I made a new slide show for my picture key chain full of pictures of everything that has happened in 2008. It was nice to reminisce. I only have one week of Christmas break left! :( I don't want to go back. I know it is going to be hard after being home for so long. My cousin Karlee will be joining me at Mizzou this semester and I am super excited about that! :) It will make it easier going back knowing that she will be there with me! New Years Eve was fun. Steve, Laura, Zack, Jordan and I went down to the Hahn's house for a party. It was a red carpet party and it was all decorated like a red carpet event and we were suppose to dress nice like actors and actresses! It was really fun. Anyways, this Wednesday is special for Steven and I because it is our 2 year anniversary! I think he has something special planned! I love him lots! This Friday I have a meeting with the leader of the Communications Science and Disorders program at Fontbonne. I am hoping to attend Fontbonne for grad school next year at this time. So stressful! Hopefully everything will fall into place! Well I don't have anything else to say for now! Happy New Year!

numero 17


I am finally home for Christmas and I am so happy to be home! I worked so hard all semester and I am glad to finally have a break. I ended up with all B's and one A for the semester! When I got home from Columbia my family and I went to Historic St. Charles. We went to the antique shops that were all decked out for the holidays. It was so much fun. Afterwards we all went out to eat at Pasta House...so good! On Monday night Laura, Jordan, and I went down to the Hahn's house and we had some Christmas Joy! We all decorated a gingerbread house and made Christmas shaped chocolates. After all our hard work and creativity in the kitchen we all had some hot chocolate! It was so much fun and a great way to get into the spirit of Christmas! Yesterday Steve and Zack came over to exchange Christmas gifts. I gave Steve a really nice sweater and he gave me some slippers, black nail polish, and a diamond necklace! It is so beautiful! I was really suprised! Well today is Christmas Eve! Tonight my family and I will eat snacks and watch "A Child's Christmas in Wales" and "It's a Wonderful Life"...two of my favorites! I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Last night I saw the Magic Tree! It was so amazing! For the past fourteen years this family in Columbia decorates a crab apple tree in their front yard! The first year they decorated the tree it took 3000 lights. Now it takes about 7500 lights! It was nice to get away from my homework last night and admire this beautiful tree! :) Only 11 more days until I get to come home for Christmas! I can't wait!!!

Finals are coming up really soon...I have so much cramming to do in the next couple of days just to get my final projects done and start studying for finals! Ugh...this is the worst time of the academic year! I wish I could just sit back and enjoy the holiday season! It has been so cold lately...had some snow flurries the last couple of days...maybe there is hope for a white Christmas this year! :) I will be heading home on December 18th and I can't wait! I am getting ready to go to my Italian lab...hopefully we will get out early I have so much to do! Hope every one makes it through their last weeks of work and school! Good Luck! Gotta go to lab...Ciao!
