Intentional

This word has came up a lot in my life lately! I need to be more intentional with:

• My Relationship with Christ.
• How I spend my time
• Dating
• Friendships

Plain and simple, I am trying to be more intentional with EVERYTHING!

YES I turned 26 and I am old!

On January 2nd, I turned the big 26. For the first time, I feel old and let me tell you why. I had jokingly all year said I was going stay 25 forever. I loved being 25! Of course, it had its' challenges but really was a good year! But 26...I mean can I even say I am in my mid 20s? I know this sounds ridicolous to some of you! LOL! So when going to get my driver's license renewed the lady said to me, "See you back when you are 30." 30..I mean really should that number even be in my vocabulary?!?! I am excited to see what this year has to bring! So, yes bring on 26!

Here are a few gifts I recived plus some money!

Cotton Bowl

On Thursday, 1/5/12 I went with my Aunt Shell to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. After a long drive and getting turned around a few times we made. Boy, was I relieved! I hate getting lost or going the wrong way. It is one of those things that happen but really just irritates me! It should not I know! We went to our hotel, got all checked in and grabbed some dinner. Then, on Friday we first drove to the stadium to check it all out. It was bigger than I could have ever imagined!! Then we did a little shopping(always fun with Aunt Shell!!). We ate lunch at the best place...Gloria's. If you have not been there you should go! They serve food that reminds me of Nicaragua! I love it! There rice is to die for!! After that we got ready for the game! Woo Pig Sooie! We picked up some friends and went to tailgate! The stadium inside was Amazing! That big screen is BIG! You should go see if you have not! Arkansas played great!! We had a blast! I am going to miss football season and can not wait till next year!!

Merry Christmas!

Today is the day that we celebrate the birth of my savior Jesus Christ. I am so thanful that he came and the many blessing that he has given to me throughout my life. This year for Christmas, our tradition have been different...as anyone my age can understand. For 26 years, we have spent Christmas Eve with my Nanny(my Dad's Grandma). She went to home to be with Jesus on Monday. Although yesterday was different and we did not celebrate with her and her family all day things happened that made me smile. Also, I realized that Jesus knows exactly what he is doing up there and gives and takes away at the right time in our life.
Yes seasons are changing and things are different...and it moments when most of the world would be sad I have a millon reasons to smile. So today, I say Happy Birthday Jesus. I hope you are honored in somemany ways today by millons of people.
Merry Christmas friends and family, Merry Christmas.
