I couldn't resist posting this. It's long but there are some great ones! One of my fav's is the little girl striking a pose (#41). Also the little kids planning their escapes with their pets. Too cute.

N3lla's Triple Crown Fund
Even though I don't actually know Kelle Hampton or her daughter Nella or the rest of their family, I feel like I do and I love them (I even have dreams that I'm hanging out with them...weird. and creepy, but it's fine). If you read my blog at all, you've probably seen links to Kelle's blog because I think she's awesome and she writes a lot of great things and posts beautiful pictures. Nella's 3rd birthday was on Tuesday and they've set up a place to donate to the National Down Syndrome Society in honor of Nella and her special day.

10 life-giving things from the recent past
1. Best friends. The 6 of us celebrated our annual Best Friend Christmas Party at a cabin in Estes and everything about it was perfect (even the pushing-the-car-in-the-snow[-twice] part).
3. Justin Bieber-loving, radio-calling best friends. We tried to win JB tickets from Kiss-FM with no luck. But it was super fun and between the 4 of us we called 126 times (or something like that). 
4. Birthday-celebrating best friends. Since we won't all be together on our birthdays, Abby, Amanda, and I bought Butter Cream cupcakes and celebrated together before Abby left for school. I'm telling you, I have the most fun friends ever. 
5. Sister Time. Olivia spent the night at my new house and we made pasta, hot tubbed, watched chick flicks, and ate Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I love her!
7. Visits with lovely Greeley friends. Olivia and I met Katie and Andrea for lunch in Loveland last weekend and it was the best! They are fun and silly and they mean so much to me.
8. Puzzling sibling time. Olivia and I headed to Denver to hang out with Matthew and Alex. The 3 of us girls went on a run together, which was very fun (training for another half marathon...ahh!). We also ate great food, watched Looper, and put together some very challenging but very beautiful and fun puzzles! Alex and I rock at doing puzzles.
9. Letter-writing and decorating. I love snail-mail. I love writing letters, love receiving letters, and love pretty stationary. Alex made me some cards for Christmas and I'm putting them to good use along with some other pretty cards that have been gifts. I also put up the canvases that I made over Christmas break to add some beauty to my new room.
10. My Wyldlife team. These guys are the best. I've gotten to spend some time with each of them over the last week and a half and I am so thankful for them!

Fun!
Cathy posted this cool thing so I made one for my blog too. I think it must take words from the entire blog, rather than only words that I've written (I feel certain I don't write "PM" that often). So maybe not entirely representative of my posts. Regardless, it's pretty and fun.
10 Random Life Things
Here's a list of 10 things that may or may not be significant to my life and that you probably don't care that much about, but I'm telling you anyway.
1. I have mostly moved into my new house that I'll be sharing with four other girls.
2. I went grocery shopping a couple days ago. Like for eggs and milk and such. Y'all, I feel like a real adult. Well ok, more like a normal college student, but still.
3. On Friday I put on half of my workout clothes and almost went to the gym. Then I realized I had a billion things to do and not a lot of time to do them, so I didn't go. But that counts as almost half a workout, right? No? Well, disagree to disagree (that's one of my fav Duck Dynasty quotes...Uncle Si is my boy).
4. It's approximately 10 degrees (aka freezing) in Fort Collins right now. My room felt cold and drafty so I discovered that one of my windows was struggling to close all the way. And I fixed it! Yay.
5. The airport is a beautiful place. I got to go there on Friday and I absolutely love seeing how different people react when they reunite with people they love. Also the occasional person getting picked up by a stranger...that's fun to observe, too.
6. I've gotten to hang out with some people that I really really love this weekend, including Jess. She is my best friend from this last summer at camp and she lives in Wisconsin. I cried when I picked her up from the airport. Walking around Old Town and having lunch and coffee with her yesterday was a huge blessing to me.
7. I had never seen the original Dirty Dancing movie until yesterday. It's silly because I love Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (and dancing movies in general). But I watched the orig and it was wonderful.
8. I love Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks love stories. I want to find a single DVD with both Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. It must exist, right?? Or I'll just buy both of them.
9. My new house has a hot tub! Cool. I haven't used it yet but, let me tell you, I am pretty pumped.
10. Here are some lovely pictures from lunch at Panera last week. Abby told Olivia multiple times that she was a beautiful girl. It makes sense because she is.

Homie don't play that!
I very rarely watch shows like this...really never, actually. But Duck Dynasty is awesome and hilarious and this is a cool blog post about it - take a gander. http://robsumrall.wordpress.com/2012/12/12/what-duck-commander-is-really-selling/
