Where does the time go? seriously?

I'm not even going to apologize for my absence or promise to become a regular blogger again, mainly because I am lazy and disappointed in myself. I am disappointed because so many amazing things have happened since I wrote last and my laziness got in the way of sharing them. I'm going to do a quick recap of the high points just so I can feel a little better and then maybe start blogging again (that was not a promise). The main reason I finally got around to doing this again is because Jimmy just asked me to go skydiving with him and his med school peeps and I want to try to get some readers back before that time comes so I can share my extreme range of emotions I have about it. a few words that come to mind are terror, horror and splat. but we will get to that later. 

sigh here we go..

since I wrote last:

My great-grandma turned 89

Jimmy became a college graduate. 

I made a bag. 

Jimmy's little brother Josh graduated high school and joined me at A&M and joined the corps. 

I got to spend my third summer being Matthew and Leah's "nanny"

I went on a Caribbean cruise with Jimmy's extended family and hundreds of other crazy Cajuns. (we left out of New Orleans)

had one last hangout before med and dental school started and the real world hit.

 

 

Jimmy became a second a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force

  

went to Ranger's games. 

(please notice the lady behind us posing for the picture)

Jimmy got his white coat and started med school at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston

 

My brother Austin transferred to Texas State.  

(no pictures of him in State stuff yet)

had the BEST weekend.. I got my Fightin' Texas Aggie Ring. WHOOP!! had my second annual 21st birthday (I refuse to acknowledge that I am 22. that's practically 100)  and tailgated with the best family and friends.  

 holy cow. are you still with me? I'm sorry that was sooooo long but once I started there was no turning back.

so there you have it.. everything you have missed in the past 5 months. its really good to be back and I can't wait to catch up on what everyone else in the blog world has been doing.

Here's to a great year

Sorry to report that I am still not motivated to get back into the habit of blogging. I think it is because my blog needs a makeover, and I don't feel like dealing with it. If anyone would like to help me figure out to create a header and button I'll love you forever.

But as for a quick little catch up.. so far 2011 has been the bomb.com! The fam and Jimmy and I went to the casino last night and I played the penny slots for the first time, usually I only play the $1 wheel of fortune slot machine, only so I can get a spin. I found a new favorite game and won $420!! technically it was only about $350 because of what I put it but $420 sounds better. just go with it.


And today we all went to first monday in Canton and Mom and I found the prettiest scarves for $3! They were a steal.

I hope the past few days are a sign of good things to come. There is a lot happening this year and I'm really excited to see what 2011 has in store. I hope your new year has been as lucky as mine. I miss hearing about what you all have been up to, I should be back to catch up soon. Happy new year! Here's to a great year

for some reason I haven't been in the mood to blog, and I'm still not actually. I have just been enjoying being home relaxing and celebrating with family. And playing with my new sewing machine and camera.

So since Gram got onto me for not posting.. here are some pictures from our family Christmas party.

I hope you all had a great holiday and are enjoying the rest of the year. 

this is the pillow I made today.. I can sew!
