Happy Christmas!

Merry Belated Christmas!

I went home for a week, and it was absolutely wonderful. I loved hanging out with my parents and seeing all of my family and friends. It was hard to leave, but it was just such a great time that I was happy to leave on such a great note. I got to see all of my high school and college friends, which was amazing. They're the best - I already miss them. BUT I get to see all of them in a month for Gasparilla! So I wasn't too sad to leave. I used my new digital camera for the first time wooooo - ooooh yeah - the beau got me a new digital camera for Christmas!! We exchanged before Christmas since I was in Tampa. I love it. It's a pink Canon Powershot and it is the bomb. SO, I took some pics over the week/weekend, but I just have to transfer them to my computer. I'll post soon!

In the meantime, here is a photo of the two most precious dogs in the world:

Meet Jack! The cutest labradoodle in the world!

And we all know Mr. Bailey Boy!

Off to Carmel on Thursday for New Year's Eve...I will be sure to take LOTS of photos!

Back Safely!

I had a great time in Jamaica and am officially back in Dallas and busy as hell (of course). This is my last full week of work before I leave for Florida next week (Monday night - CAN'T WAIT!), so things are a little swamped. But I wanted to log on and post some pictures from my trip! I unfortunately don't have a camera, so these are all photos from my iPhone. My apologies for the bad quality. Maybe Santa will bring me a digital camera for Christmas (hint hint).

Enjoy!

This is a picture of my room - I had a Butler Suite. It was ridic

This was the view from my room...amazing to wake up to!

The beach! Gorgeous...

More beach! Could have watched the water all day...

Last, but not least...

My boss Kellie and I with one of the most amazing singers ever

Jamaican Me Crazy!

Well friends, I am off to Jamaica bright and early tomorrow, so I will unfortunately be M.I.A. until next week. Tough life, huh?

Actually, I am going there for work but will hopefully get a little sun tan while I'm there :) I've never been to Jamaica before, but here is what I visualize:

Ahh, yes...Jamaica is calling my name. Boy do I miss the beach. Off to pack! I'll post if I have some down time :)

FINISHED!!!!

Stacey, Shelby and I officially finished the 2010 White Rock Half Marathon!!

I truly can't thank all of my friends and family for the support. I am especially thankful for Trey and Burton for biking behind us for most of the course cheering us on! It wasn't easy but it was well worth it!

I am really digging this room I found on IKEA.com...I especially like the mirror and "styling station" - their words, not mine. It's a TV stand that they've placed a mirror on top of and are using the shelves for storage for your beauty tools - blow drier, brushes, makeup, etc. Brilliant! I love this and may steal the idea!

Two days to 13.1 miles!

Wow! So sorry for the delay in posting. It's been a pretty hectic week with moving and getting ready for the half marathon on Sunday. I'll give you a quick update on T-Giving and moving and PROMISE to write a better blog next week :)

Thanksgiving was wonderful! We all ate over at Shelby and Burton's house, and everything was absolutely perfect. Trey's and my family met for the first time, and I think it went really well! Always a good thing when parents get along. Although both of our sets of parents are so nice and funny, and I had no doubt that they'd like each other. Black Friday, Sandy and I hit the town to go shopping. I got some great stuff for my new apartment. Sandy and I even tried on some Christian Louboutins that were to die for! We didn't buy, of course, but here's to wishful thinking!

After shopping, we saw Morning Glory, which was adorablllle. I think we can all agree that Rachel McAdams is precious. Then we freshened up and had dinner at Taverna - one of my favorites in Dallas. My rents unfortunately left on Saturday afternoon, but I was so happy to be with them for Thanksgiving...especially since I started feeling a little homesick knowing all of my friends were in Tampa.

This week has been INSANE. I moved on Wednesday to my new apartment :) It is a little bit smaller than I remembered, but I am really excited about having my own space. I like it more and more every time I see it. Not to mention, the building is awesome. Very safe, nice pool and fitness center and the staff/concierge are all so nice and accommodating. It just needs a little bit of work...but I can't wait until it's completed! I'll post pics soon, I promise.

Other than that, I am running the White Rock Half Marathon in TWO days! Crazyyyyy. I'm kind of nervous, but hoping the adrenaline will get me through. Stacey gets in tonight at 7:45, and I can't wait to see that little bean! I'm going to try to go to yoga this afternoon to stretch myself out in preparation for the race. Woop woop! I'll write on Monday to let you know how it goes, but WISH ME LUCK!
