Fun Run!

I'm interrupting my regularly scheduled blog post for today (which will now be posted on Monday), to share something that has "interrupted" my life. Boyyyy has it consumed too much of my time!

The only games apps I used to have on my phone were Words with Friends, Scramble with Friends, and Hanging with Friends, but I recently deleted almost all of those games to make room for other apps.  However, one day I was browsing the App Store and came across Fun Run.  It looked fun --well, I guess it better be since "fun" is in the title!!-- and the little characters looked cute, so I downloaded it. BIG mistake.

Cousin Pictures!

It is a RARE occurrence these days for "the cousins" to all be in the same place at the same time, let alone in the same city! Abby, Gabby, Alison and I grew up together and always had tons of sleepovers when we were little! We discovered how cool our names were, because there were the Abs (Abby and Gabby) and the Als (Alison and myself).  It was perfect! haha

We have so many fun memories and we try to make more when we can now that we're all going in four different directions! Abby's usually in Farmville at school, Gabby has moved out to Short Pump and stays busy working, Alison is finishing up her senior year, and then I'm....oh wait....haha...this just got awkward. I'm still job searching and getting wedding stuff done! (But not to fear, because I do have some work lined up starting in the next couple weeks, but nothing Full Time, yet.)

When we got together for Christmas last weekend, we made sure to get a few cousins pictures taken.  I hope you enjoy these!

(Well, first, hope you enjoy that Awkward Family Photo on the right....hahaha!)

*And, it might seem like we just line right up and take a good picture right off the bat. Negative.  There were about forty pictures of us taken, and these were basically the ONLY good ones that came out!! haha. We talk too much, laugh too much, everything...

Happy New Year!!!!

I hope everyone had a great night celebrating last night! Trust me, I didn't get too noisy or anything...far from it actually! haha.  Matt and I hung out at his house, watched some ABCFamily movies, played Topple, I put together a Pinocchio puzzle, we got in the hot tub, and that's about it.  Pretty exciting, huh? haha. No worries, though, because I had fun!
Did any of you make new years resolutions? I haven't (yet) and don't know if I will or not. Although I do have some things I'd like to do, especially from my blog, so look forward to that in the coming future (I hope!).

I'm really looking forward to this year because...yep...GETTING MARRIED!!!!! Can't believe it's just over five months away!! Crazy how time flies!!  It's also the year that both Matt & I will fly for the first time as we head off to our awesome honeymoon destination!! :)  We'll also start living together and I'll hopefully have finally secured a full-time job (of course I'm hoping this'll happen much sooner, rather than later!).  And, as I'm pretty sure I mentioned in my 25 Days of Christmas posts, Matt & I will finally go to allllllllllll family Christmas get-togethers together. haha. 

Since I'll be starting a new chapter of my life this year (well, many chapters, actually!), I hope you'll keep reading my blog to see all the pictures I share about everything I've/we've done!

Hope you've enjoyed this first day of 2013!  How have you spent it? I started off (by sleeping in), but really by going to lunch with Abby and our cousin, Brooke, at Mexico and to exchange Christmas presents.  Christmas Day is always so hectic so the past couple years we've met up for lunch or dinner to hang out and swap gifts.  Still just as fun!!  And tonight, volleyball practice!! So ready for that!
