photo catch up

wow ... twenty thirteen is here in full force.   here is a recap of the past two month according to instagram and my iphone.

[these are from last year but oh well ... i wanted to share] dad and went to the colt's last regular season game and boy was it a good one! 

then ... i ran down to my favorite city ever, nashville, tn to have a good time and to see a good friend show off his musical talent. while there we hung out on broadway ... this is the guitar right outside of legend's corner,  and ate the best bbq around at hog heaven.  if you haven't been i suggest you try it.  it is in this little shack next to the parthenon and centennial park.  it really is so good ... every time i go to nashville i visit it atleast once.

while i was in nashvegas dad got to go to florida for pretty much the entire month and couldn't help but to gloat by sending pretty pictures of the beach while i was dealing with sub zero temps here at home.   

... now february.  i had my first real non-fail pinterest attempt and had a small birthday celebration.

that pretty much sums up my life these past two months.  eager to see what the next few bring on ;] 

two week catch up

today was the first time we here is centeral indiana got to see snow this season.  granted ... it only snowed for a few hours this morning and it is now so very sunny and there is absolutely no snow in sight.  the first big snow always makes my heart melt a little.  i feel like the world just stops ... everything is so quite.  i really like those few moments.  then once the snow turns to muck i am completely over it and ready for the 70 degree weather to come back.  but until then, i am anxiously awaiting the first big snow.

in other news ... thanksgiving is right around the corner and there has been a few exciting developments over in this corner of the world.  well ... some news is more exciting than other news ... and, you may not even think any of the news is exciting ... but it is what it is. :] 

first things first ... my dad has a girlfriend.  now, this wouldn't be a huge deal if the man hasn't been single for at least a decade.  for what seems like my entire life it has been my dad, sister and i. [yes, my mom was very much in the picture ... we just didn't live with her] so adding a fourth person to the mix has been a little bit of an adjustment.  but a good one.  we're happy :]

and secondly, i have gotten a second wind when it comes to finishing my home.  when i moved in i knew it was a 'fixer upper' but my god, has it been a long tough road and for a while i was completely burnt out and had no motivation to complete any of the unfinished projects. well, my friends that is no longer the case for now at least.  so expect some before and after updates :]

and lastly [is that even a word?] my twenty *cough**cough* birthday is fast approaching and i am throwing myself a party ... can't wait!

 ... well, that's all i've got for right now.  have a good one!
