8 Christmas Things

Hope you guys are having a great week! I am getting ready for the start of finals week so I'll be pretty busy during the next couple of weeks. But of course, I'll make sure to find time to let you guys know how things are going. Today I made puppy chow for the first time. It is absolutely delicious! I also had time on Sunday to decorate Ty's and my apartment :) It looks totally adorable. Ty says that two trees is totally unnecessary, but I like have a little one on the dresser in the bedroom. I think it adds a little something to a room you wouldn't usually decorate. 

Until Next Time,

I still feel like I am on break today. My classes this morning.....we are watching movies. I feel like I am in grade school again. The two movies we are watching are: Thank You for Smoking and The Company Men. Not two entirely boring movies, but not quite interesting enough to warrant any excitement for my classes this week. 

I have also been doing a lot of thinking about my New Years Resolution this year. In all honesty, it comes down to just a couple of really silly things that I feel I NEED to do in 2012.

1. I want to Lose 60 pounds. For those of you that know me and do not think I need to lose that much weight. Thank you, but I really honestly do.

2. I want to quit drinking till my birthday in September. Not only to more easily facilitate losing 60 pounds, but also because its just better for me.

3. I want to study abroad. There is this great digital storytelling program in Italy through my college. It takes place during the month of June, and I really really want to do it.

4. I want to find a paid internship for my Senior Year of College. So if anyone knows of any great companies that need/want a  communications intern for the 2012-2013 school year in Milwaukee, I would love to send you my resume and/or have lunch. Its all about the connections people, and I am going to start looking for them now.

Hope all of you have a pleasant week. Enjoy this wonderful Cyber Monday! I hope you all find sales to your hearts content.

Until Next Time,

All my Love to You,

Thanksgiving Break

Hi All! Sorry I have been missing in action for the past few days. I decided to spend some uninterrupted quality time with my family while I could during the holidays. However, as a consolation, I have pictures for you all of my Thanksgiving Adventures.

My Dad spent over 100 dollars on alcohol for MY MOTHER this Thanksgiving (And this is extremely weird because my mother almost NEVER drinks). He then proceeded to make her apple and pumpkin martinis and cosmopolitans all night. Boy does he love her.

The ingredients for THE BEST stuffing ever made. Minus the fresh ingredients (Celery and Onions) and of course the BUTTER!

My sister helping to make the stuffing at 7 in the morning. I'm pretty sure this is the only time she likes getting up this early all year!

Turkey Tom!

It was so funny watching Samantha help stuff the Turkey. Her facial expressions were priceless!

The Wonderful Bloody Mary's my dad made us Thanksgiving Morning. What a wonderful way to start off the holidays :)

I Love Cheese!!!!!

This is the Jack Daniels Bottle that my GRANDPA found in my dad's liquor cabinet. First, this bottle had apparently been there since my dad's 35st birthday. Second, this is the bottle, that my grandpa took three shots to finish it off.....on Thanksgiving!. Sometimes my relatives amaze me.

So Beautiful and Delicious!!!


Hope all of you had a wonderful and yummy Thanksgiving. Now we can all move on to THE BEST holiday ever CHRISTMAS!! Did anyone find some really good black Friday deals?? Let me know, I think I am going to attempt that tradition next year!


Until Next Time,


All my Love to You,

Movie Reviews

Tylor and I went to go see two movies this past weekend. (Which made me very happy because I Love movie nights). So I thought I would take time to give some input on what I liked and didn't like about the two movies.

First, we went to see Immortals this past Thursday. Sadly, I did not enjoy this movie nearly as much as Tylor did. For those that enjoy intense war scenes and tons of fake blood, this movie will be 2 hours of bliss........However, this movie left me feeling really really sad as I left the theater. I love feel good movies. Those are the movies that have happy endings where the main characters overcome their trials. This movie did not have a happy ending. I don't know if they were setting up the movie for a sequel (Which would not surprise me), or that's just how they wanted to end the movie, but it did not make me happy. On the good end, the main characters Henry Cavil and Freida Pinto are extremely attractive. Although this movie is full of gore and death, the views of both of them half-clothed make the 2 hours of war almost bearable.

Second, we went to go see Part 1 of the last twilight movie, Breaking Dawn. First let me say how much I hate it when movie producers decide to split movies into two parts. I absolutely DO NOT LIKE having to wait so many months in order to see the ending of a movie. I had the same problem when they did this with the last Harry Potter movie. So this movie annoyed me. However, I do think that they did a decent job with the story line. These twilight movies have come a long way since the disappointing first movie came out . Do you remember seeing the first Twilight and being outraged when Edward stepped out into the sunlight and it looked more like he was bedazzled than what you had pictured while reading the book? Well they have done some good work with the graphics since then. One of my friends Liz came to see the movie with Tylor and I along with her boyfriend. She complained that the movie did not go into enough detail and I agree. Especially if they are going to take the time to split the movie into 2 parts, the least they could do is add all the details from the book into the movie.  Overall, the movie was a complete success and they now have me hooked. I want the second part to come out now!

I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!!!! I know I am excited to go home and see my family and especially to see all my friends from high school. I haven't seen them in what seems like forever!! Hopefully I can borrow my mom's camera and take some pictures of my adventures this week for you guys. 

Until Next Time,

All my Love to You,

HAPPY WEEKEND!

     I am totally pumped today!!! After I take my test at 1:00 I get to go shopping for a new outfit (Yay Shopping!!! ) and then I get to attend thanksgiving dinner at my boyfriends fraternity. This event gets me excited every year because it basically means I get to have two thanksgivings every year....which I mean, who wouldn't get excited about that? All I have to do is take focus and study for my test for the next 2 hours. Wish me luck.....as long as blogging doesn't distract me I should be good to go.

Have a wonderful wonderful weekend!!!!

All My Love To You,

Interesting, Awkward and Amazing

Interesting

• When the lady at Walgreen's today asked me if I wanted to by the candy on sale or donate to diabetes. Candy and Diabetes.......weird

Awkward

• Having company over when your sink is literally overflowing with dishes. I haven't quite mustered up the courage to wash them yet.
• When Ty leaves hair all over the bathroom sink in the morning after trimming his beard. I though women were supposed to do that.......

Amazing

•  Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice! I have finished 3 bottle all by myself in the past week. DELICIOUS!!

• My Aloe Plant! When I first brought it up to Milwaukee it started to die on my window sill and I DID NOT know what I was doing wrong. It seems it just needed time to adjust to the move because its growing extremely well now. It makes me very happy :)

• A Better Homes and Gardens Candle I bought this week. It has the scent of a Wild Berry Cheesecake and is incredibly sweet. You almost want to eat the candle.

• The Hampshire Houndstooth Jacket from Ruche. Absolutely ADORABLE! If anyone feels the need to buy me an extremely nice Christmas List........this is on my list.

Hope everyone is having a splendid hump day :) The week only gets easier from here right?? I'm praying that I have a boost of encouragement to write my 4 page paper before Friday morning. 

All my Love to you,

Danielle

Dear World,

     As promised here are some wonderful pictures from my Aunt's Baby Shower this past Sunday.

     I had so much fun hanging with all the lovely ladies!. Now all we have to do is wait for the baby to come.....which could not possibly come too soon.

Until Next Time,

All my Love to You,

Dear World,

     I am home for the weekend! I am so excited to get to spend time with my wonderful family. This weekend is also very special because it is my aunt's baby shower :) I am so happy to have another cousin on the way!! Being home has sparked so many memories and it has also given me an opportunity to play around with my mother's camera so you guys can see where I come from and pictures from the baby shower tomorrow!

My Grandma made this present cake for my Aunt's baby shower.
She is so CREATIVE!!

My mom and I wrapped all the flatware in  blue napkins :)
The finished product is definitely worth the time!

My mom made these covers

for her light all by herself.

We are so proud of her 

Creativity ;)

Rumor has it that my dad

picked this out for the

centerpiece of the table.

I never knew he had such great taste. Go Dad!

My Back Yard!!!

I envy my parents' 

green thumb

My Old Car!!!!

I love how peaceful the front

of our house looks. As for the 

inside......well lets just say that 

looks can be deceiving 

My dad also decided to brew his own beer.

How cute!!!

    

 So that is a little bit about my life. I do not come from an extremely rich family, but I never felt like I  missed out on anything. There is so much LOVE that surrounds my family and I would NEVER trade it for anything in the world!!

Until Next Time,

All my Love to You
