christmas is just days away.

so i thought i'd wish you all a very

merry christmas

and a

happy new year

F'real twins.

last night at taco tuesday,

i see my friend lauren in line.

and from a distance, i see that we both have on

the same checked shirt from j. crew.

(i've seen her in the shirt before and vice versa and

i've been waiting till we wear it the same time)

i walked over to her in line

to mention our "twin-ness."

when i see her, i notice not just our shirts,

but we are wearing almost

identical outfits.

see for yourself...

same shirt (different color),

necklace, sweaters (different, but similar colors),

hair curled, and skinny jeans and boots.

it is as lauren said:

"unplanned awesomeness"

another wonderful

mormon message

during this holiday season...

kids and christmas

merry christmas

to all.

Bike gang 2010...

well, once i got my bike down here,

it all kind of went from there.

my roommates and friends got bikes.

my friend joe's house got bikes.

and we've been riding like crazy...

(these pictures go back from summer till now

you'll be able to tell most recent. more clothes/layers)

recent...

summer...

Realizations...

you see,

we were standing in line at a ride in disneyland

and my mom was staring at my head.

i was a bit confused and asked her what she was looking out.

she touched my head, and just said, "hmm"

i then, became really paranoid and asked her what she saw.

(now i wish she hadn't said anything)

she said, "you have some white hairs."

"what? white hairs?"

how can that even be?

she said, "missy, i got white hairs when i was 25."

paranoia has sunk in.

i don't think i can do "the melt" hairstyle anymore.

i have to dye all my hair so these white ones go away. pronto.

so thanks mom for calling me out.

(thanks graff genes for making me have white hairs already.

p.s. my grandparents are adorable.)

as you can see, i've had a hard time with this.

and i came home from disneyland

and picked out a few more white hairs.

curse!

happy holidays...

home in 14 days.

for 15 days.

all for christmas.

love life.

(love this tree. of course it's in

rockafeller center in new york city.)

The end of a career...

my softball season/career

has come to an end.

we played in our final game last night.

and sadly, we lost.

but we had a great season and

everyone on the team was

great. and fun to play with.

i'll definitely miss our tuesday nights.
