Back to Busy

Since I had the genius idea to change my major my senior year of college, I haven't really had a crazy busy semester in, say, a year...and now, wa-BAM! Not that I'm complaining at all since I love my major, but I have to admit that I so do not bounce back as quick from long, hard nights full of studying and lack of sleep like I used to.

Sleep always seems to be the first thing that goes on my list when life gets busy. Scratch that, I think the gym is technically first to go quickly followed by sleep. That said, I think I'm going to attempt to change that so at least one night a week I get the full 8 hours. Oh, and possibly make it to the gym 3 times a week...or even just once. ha.

Oh, and it's still cold. freezing cold. hate hate hate. but there is ONE thing that makes me enjoy it. This was so much fun (even with a frozen face), I can't even explain the amount of joy it brought to me.

This is the video I made for my ad entrance video. The timing's not exactly on, but you get the point :)

A Sunny, Crazy, Adventurous Family Christmas & New Years

You know, you'd think that I'd be ok with spending Christmas and New Years in Hawaii, but let's be honest, Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas when you're spending it sitting on the beach in your teensy swimsuit. It's like an oxymoron.

However, Christmas and New Years did in fact ROCK this year! My family is one endless amount of fun, especially when we're all together.

Highlights of this years advent?

Skydiving with the sibs and soon to be sib Nate on New Years Eve definitely deserves rockstar status. Our parents paid for it as a late Christmas present, and it was so funny because as we were all getting suited up, all my Mom could say was, "oh my gosh I just paid for my kids to jump out of an airplane. At 14,000 feet." And...OH MY GOSH IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

Going to see FannyPak and SoReal perform in Honolulu with Nate. Shake yo bon bon, shake yo bon bon...

Of course the standard daily consumption of not just one, but both Matsumotos and Kava Roots Acai Berry Bowls. Nate is now an addict, which makes me love him even more.

A fantastic--even if slightly illegal--fireworks show on New Years. My cousins should go into the business, they're naturals.

And last but not least, I GOT ENGAGED!!!!! Nate proposed to me Sunday, January 4, 2009 at sunset on sunset beach. I will write a separate post for that one later so I can include full details.
