Tis Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve has never really been a big deal for my family. 

We get Christmas PJs at night and that is the extent of our Christmas Eve traditions.

Just as I am telling my besties yesterday.

 One of whom I haven't seen since February because she lives in DC. 

I feel so lucky that I got her for a whole day (huge deal for both of us!) before I leave for NYC.

I have missed her so much and a phone call can only be sufficient for a little.
After i get through telling them my family doesn't really have a Christmas Eve tradition.

We stop in to my house to grab my gift for her and so she can see the family and I get the Nancinator telling me we are having a christmas eve dinner with EVERYONE... 

Here is a little of our conversation-

E: What? Um Ok I give mom, who is everyone?

N: Well us and Jess & Dave.... 

E: So just the fam?

N: lise this is a big deal!

So this is the new tradition I guess.. And I have to say I'm very excited because the Nancinator never cooks, but when she does it is So GOOD!

So Happy Christmas Eve, I hope its magical for every one

Christmas Time

Ahhh my fellow bloggers! 

HELLLOOO! The answer is

YES

I am still alive!

I have just been so busy with finals, and stalking my school councilor... 

We have been getting my life on some sort of a new track...

and this may shock everyone I know to the very core, but in some of my free time I have been using it to shop, and.....

EXERCISE!

Yes you did read this correctly. I have recently been on team exercise- 

Julie and I have been going to Bikram Yoga-

The yoga where the temperature in the room is 108 degrees while you do yoga for 90 minutes!

The first time I thought I was going to die or throw-up... maybe both.

But we have been a few more times and it seems to be getting better/ or maybe we are just making each other think it is getting easier haha! Who really knows, but all I can say is:

We are on our way to becoming an VS angel!

I also have been in the interviewing process to work for the New Lululemon!

(P.S. It's opening up in Trolley Square this Feb. or March!) 

Which has been about a 3 week process, 

and I just heard today that I did not get the job.... 

Im super sad about it, but as all my good friends and family say: 

"Everything happens for a reason." 

Oh my sweet family and friends are so wise! 

And I have to believe that they are right!

Anywho CHRISTMAS is only 3 days away! HOORAY

And all my friends that have moved are coming home from the holidays!! 

And I can't wait to sees them all. 

And the 26th the family and I are on our way to the very fashionable, always fun, and freezing NYC!

 A much needed vacation! 

Billy and I may even do New Years Eve again, because I hear that 

Justin Bieber will be there. 

It will defiantly have to be a game time decisions.

 And here is a quote that I can't get enough of right now

"I believe in PINK. I believe that LAUGHING is the best calorie burner. I believe in KISSING, kissing a lot. I believe in being STRONG when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that HAPPY girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles"

- Audrey Hepburn

Hope everyone has a great Christmas!

Love you all

VS Fashion Show 2011

Listen- 

let me start out by saying I have never seen this fashion show until this year. 

I had no idea what it even was or that it even happened until I was asked to record it.... 

That being said.....

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS FASHION SHOW!

Come on now!
Show me a person that says they don't like it, and I will in fact show you a liar.

 This was my favorite outfit of the night! 

How amazing is this?

 NOT only do I love this, but um hello she just had a baby 2 MONTHS ago.... 

Jealous party of one.

 Adam levine is super sexy, and I love Maroon 5... 

And unfortunately his too beautiful girlfriend.. 

who he sunk a kiss on during the show... 

Stop it! So adorable!

 These Umbrellas spun as she walked... 

Yeah amazing!

 Ballet...

Love... 

Enough said

 This was Gorgeous!!

Oh my gosh..Yes please. 

And last BUTT not least this amazing disco ball.... 

I want it!

Is that wrong... 

I think not!

During the show I also learned that they add a new angel every year.

This got me to thinking...

Um HELLO! I could be that angel.

So watch out 2012, your new angel is getting ready! 

Fabulous + Fun =25

24

 I feel like it went by in a flash! 

But I did some amazingly fun stuff during this year-

-I did New Years Eve in Time Square with Billy-
Needless to say we'll never forget that experience.

-Saw some movies
And looking back in some of these entries I gave some pretty epic movie reviews.

-Shopped A LOT-
Lulu lemon, Kate Spade, H&M, Zara- You own me, like literally! 

I went SKYDIVING!-
 NOT like me- but I loved it! 

-Had some very spur of the moment trips- 

                   One to St. George with V-ness and the Van Leeuwen's- something that will never be forgotten and started a very beautiful friendship with the Van Leeuwens's- which I am so grateful for!

                    One to Vegas with my mom and sister- to mend a broken heart- with what else, sunshine and retail therapy

California with the family-
Always delightful 

Florida-
In August, not the smartest idea- but it was so worth it for

 HARRY POTTER LAND!! Ahhh I need to go back!

-Had a boyfriend for about 6 months (3 months he was interning far away, so does that really count... I'm going to give that a solid no....)- 

So we dated for 3 months-
what a sweet gem.

But hey why look back

 25 

is going to be the year of fabulous and fun!

-And it all started out with a Birthday Bash!-

So I'm usually never in town for my birthday, which at first I hated, but then I loved it! Because you don't have to plan an party and worry about people coming, gifts ect... 

But this year I was home-And I was a nervous wreck! 

I planned a dinner that you can come whenever and leave when needed.
So I'm thinking pretty perfect-

The day was perfect I skipped school-
Ate lunch with my sweet dad-
Then I opened family gifts, some great and thoughtful stuff-
Then I showered and went to my dinner! 

The turn out was great and so many of my amazing friends came.
It was such a perfect day!

Even though some of my dear friends couldn't make it.. I forgave them, of course!

Here are some pics from the lovely night.....

I honestly have the best friends anyone could ask for!

p.s. I also wore the tallest heels ever- hence me looking like a giant....

 A pic of some of the ladies that made it out for the dinner

 B and E- forever

 Brit and Jules- 

Oh the love I have for them- 

Some would say

I love you like a love song baby!

 Chewbs and V- 

The wild cards of our group! Always light up an event!

 My favorite brother! 

We are basically the same person!

 OH We know these ladies to well- the grace my blog with there presence always, Love ya 

Kate and Megs!

 BOWS!!

The married couple I look up to immensely! (No Pressure) 

They are the cutest couple, ahh 

Thank you all so much!!!

 (even the sweet ladies that couldn't make it out, or didn't get a picture with me)

This year (as I said above) will be fabulous and dedicated to having fun

You are only young once-

 So why not live it up and roll with what life bring you!

Sorry it took me forever and a day to post this but I am dealing with finals and whatnot

So forgive me

I will blog more when my test are done!
