Holiday Spirit

I am finally starting to feel The Holiday Spirit. I was getting worried there for a minute... I was kind of not into Christmas.. I think it was just too soon! But now I am feeling like listening to Christmas music, decorating, buying gifts.. The whole shootin match! Me and David went down and looked at the Christmas tree in Esther Short park.. it was super pretty.. but wayyy cold! I can't wait for all the Christmas parties and gift exchanges! Also I want to remember the people this yr. that don't have all the Christmas fun that I do... I am thinking about what I can do to help.... any good ideas? I am thinking about getting some toys at the store to donate.. helping out at church with making sandwiches and bringing them down to the homeless... David and I tried this Sunday after church..but by the time we got to the kitchen at the church they were pretty much done.. so we are going to try again next week! Well until next time! Merry Early Christmas!

What Am I Thankful For?

Oh Gosh I have so much to be thankful for! Here are just a few!

1. My Dad and Mom
2. My Sisters and Brother
3. David
4. My cousins and friends
5. My new place!
6. My paid off car thats starts everytime I get in it!
7. My bills are paid..and I can still shop!
8. My sweet little dog who is always excited to see me
9. All the cool things I get to do, and see on a daily basis
10. My health
11. God's perfect timing
12. My job

I could go on forever... but those are just a slice of all things in my life that I have to be thankful for. I wish I could realize on a daily basis how blessed I am.. maybe I should be thankful that at this minute I do realize how blessed I am!

Pumpkin Patch......

This past weekend David and I went to the pumpkin patch! I haven't been in a few yrs.. and I haven't carved a pumpkin in I don't know how long! Tonight I am going over to his house to carve my pumpkin.. I am excited! I always do the same old same old pumpkin face.. triangle eyes and nose and a missing teeth mouth.. I need to google pumpkin carving while I am sitting here at work... with not much to do, and get some better pumpkin ideas. Well I am moving in 13 days and I am not proud to say.... I haven't done a thing! I have bought quite a bit.. and my current bedroom is a disaster.. and I know that my new room is alot smaller.. and I haven't done any downsizing, only upsizing! Needless to say, I have got to get to work and start getting rid of the things I don't really need! Goodwill drop off here I come! Until next time... Happy FALL! Gabby

Change

So things are finally changing in my life! For the longest time I have felt like nothing much was really happening. I have done alot of fun stuff.. but I felt like if someone hadn't talked to me in a long time.. nothing much was really different.. stuck in the same old rut! Well, first off I have met a really great guy! I am so lucky to have met him.. and have him in my life. He is so full of adventure and up for ANYTHING! He always wants to try new stuff.. and can always come up with something fun and different to do or see. But even if we are just sitting at home.. he is so great to just be around! And second, I am finally moving out Nov. 1st!!! I am a little scared I won't lie.. but def more excited then scared! It is going to be so fun.. I am going to be living with my cousin Kayli, and we are going to have the cutest pad in town! What I am really excited for, is to be able to pull out all the stuff I have bought over the years and look at it all! I have forgotten about so many little things that I have bought.. that its going to be like Chirstmas! Speaking of Christmas.. I can't believe the holidays are just around the corner! SO excited! Until next time! Gabby

Im alive still!

Me and Katie modeling our headbands!

Hello Everyone! I am still alive I swear! I haven't taken pics in a long TIME! I guess I have been busy working on myself. As of today I am down 62 lbs! I has been a longggg and drawn out process, but I think in the end I have done it the slow and permanent way. I feel like I have really changed my life style and not just been on a diet. I have become so much more active, and not just for weight loss purposes.. just because when you lose weight you want to try stuff you didn't want to do before. Like Soccer! I love it.. and I am so happy when I can get out there and run run run! So anyways I have a goal of about 17 more lbs by July.. originally it was the first of July.. but the end of July will due. So when I reach that goal I think I will post a few before and after pics... I have been looking at allot of my before pics lately.. and lets just say.. I am SOOO happy that's not me anymore! If any one needs inspiration just bust out one of your bad pics.. It really helps me! Until next time.. Gabby

A few of Amy

A few quick pics of Amy... alot more to come, watching the grammy's so gotta go!

Lilly & Addy

Today me and my mom took Lilly and Addy down to Esther Short Park and took some pics! It was really fun and the girls did such a good job.. they are used to me making them pose so they have learned that if they just do it.. it will be over with sooner. So yesterday at the park I pretty much tripped in a hold and twisted my ankle... not the one I hurt about 6 months ago..but the other one! It is just my luck! My second soccer game since I hurt my ankle last time and I can't play again already.. I am so mad... But the one good thing is this one isn't half as bad as the last one. I can walk on it and I hope to be able to play soccer in a week!

A few more

Rachel

Today I had Rachel pose for me, because I was really needing to take some pics. If feels like it has been forever since I have taken any pics. Let me tell you it was the coldest and most windy photo shoot we have ever had! IT was INSANE! But I think we got some really awesome pictures.. And I think Rachel looks amazing in them. Let me know if you like them! Gabby

No Photography to share!

Well since I have not had any time or anybody to take pics of lately I thought I would share just a few random pics from my New Years weekend! I do not know why they are so small.. hmmm different computer... but Oh well! Anyways.. It has been I don't know how long since me and Leann and Lobsang have all had a weekend together.. Years! It was really fun.. me and Lobsang drove up to Tacoma and stayed with Leann at her place for 4 days. We ate out, had wine and treats.. shopped until we dropped.. laughed until we died..and danced! It was good to be with my two best friends again! Hopefully we can do it again soon! So... I was just thinking about it and I got a new handy dandy point and shoot for Christmas.. which has made me become lets just say LAZY.. I haven't broke out my actual camera for quite some time! SO this weekend I am going to pin down at least two of my nieces and nephews and get some updated pics of them.. I am feeling artistic.. and It needs to happen! SO I should have some new pics up here soon! Have a good Week! Gabby
