5 Things That...

Make me Happy
1. When I see my niece and nephew and they're like "AUNT CHRISSY!"  Then I am full :D
2. Christmas.  Always and forever.
3. Spontaneous road trips.  It could be to another state, or just a late night run to Taco Bell.  But I love them.
4. Laying in bed ALL DAY Netflixin'.  It's the best.
5. Ben & Jerry's with my bestie :)

Make me Sad
1. Those SPCA commercials with that Sarah McLaughlin song playing. You know the one.
2. Widows and widowers who are all alone :'(
3. Orphans who wonder if they will ever be able to be part of a family.
4. War.
5. Disease and unnecessary death/murder.

Make me Angry
1. Prideful people.
2. People who mistreat or take advantage of those who are weaker or smaller than they are.
3. When I can't open a jar or bottle.  Soooo frustrating.
4. Bills.  They make me angry.  I know they're a part of life, but I just HATE THEM.
5. Sin.

Make me Hungry
1. When I'm thirsty.  Weirdly enough.
2. When you walk into a room or a house and that yummy food smell hits you.

Engagement Pictures in Old Town

Here they are!  Hope you love them as much as I do!  I'll just let the photos speak for themselves...maybe I'll add a caption here and there if I'm so inclined...  (For those of you who hate photos of people kissing...you may want to get outta here.)

When we first got there to meet up with Sara - look how happy we are!

About to ride the Ferris Wheel!

Wow; I guess we didn't realize how dangerous it could be!

The dip + a kiss = always seals the deal :)

Wait a minute...did we just go Black & White?

This is kinda 101 Dalmatians...amiright?

Tyler's face though...hahahaha

Apparently, he likes what he sees :)

Time for a nap...not!

Awww, what a sweet kiss!  (Ignore the falling debris in my hair. lol)

We make great faces together...

*sigh*  He has the most incredible smile.

Umm...just a bit of us being crazy us!

Probably one of my favorites!

This is the face of someone who's not sure whether or not she is going to get dropped.  haha

Another favorite!

Hey....hey baby!  I wanna know...would you be my girl! (That's a song, by the way.  Look it up :)

I don't usually drive like this, I promise.

Guys, I would never!  (Also, that face - hahaha)

Riding the carousel! :)

Fun times at Fun Spot! :)

Practicing for the wedding reception. Haha

I look so special here. lol

He really does make the best faces!

"Drive like a racecar!"

Sometimes we dance very awkwardly in public...

The wedding date :)

The ring!

Well, thank you to Sara for taking all these pictures - I hope you enjoyed looking at them!  Which one was your favorite?  Do you have any themed engagement photo shoots that you like?  Let me know! :)

Bored Before Christmas

I think the reason I usually procrastinate so long before anything is that it builds the anticipation.  Also, if I'm super productive and get everything done ahead of time, all I have left to do is wait.  And wait.  And wait.  Which is no fun, because then I just get bored.  Like today.  I'm done with all my Christmas shopping, and I'm done with all my homework for my Master's degree.  So now what?  I'm bored, broke, and in debt.

Yeah, this is great.

I could exercise, but that's no fun to do alone, and I don't feel like getting all sore and sweaty.

I could write more in either of my two stories, but it's been so long since I've updated them, I've forgotten where I was going.

I could...well, that's about it.

So what am I doing instead?  Shopping on Amazon and Etsy, of course!  And spending more money I don't have.  Pfft.

I want to decorate a gingerbread house.  I want to write a song.  I want to have a guitar lesson.  Where are my artistic and musical peeps at?

Sorry if this was more like a drawn-out Facebook status than an actual blog post.  Here's some fun pictures to make it more interesting:

*Sigh* I need to go caroling.
