Christmas Catch-Up

Ok, I've been gone a while.  But it's only because of this.

{view on Insta}

I GOT AN IPOD 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You all know how much I wanted this, right?  I may or may not have shed tears over it.  First world pains, I guess.  Haha!

But seriously, I didn't think I was getting it because the deal was I had to pay half, and I didn't have the money!  But my parents decided to give it to me before I actually could give them the money.  Love them.

Anywho, I've been on it 24/7.  I'm literally always  on it.  Always!  Hence why, I haven't really been on blogger since Tuesday.

Anyways, my new life as an iPodder has involved lots of freaking hilarious things.  Please see.

Oh how I love Siri.....  and AutoCorrect, well sometimes.  Haha!

Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful  Christmas full of cheer!

Blog Swap: My Life In Pink

Rebekah and I decided to do a blog swap about Christmas!  She's super great, so I hope you enjoy!  And follow her when your done reading! 

♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥//♥

Hey! My name is Rebekah and I am here guest posting on Sarah's blog.

I am going to talk about my Christmas traditions in my family. We have lots, so I will only share a few.

Every year we see Santa! (of course)

Every Christmas morning we line up on the stairs from youngest to oldest. Then we walk down the stairs singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". We run into our living room and open everything up!

Also, everyone in my family gets their own box and we decorate it. That is where we put all of our presents!

Lastly, we do the Christmas nativity. My grandma directs it, and it gets intense! We have a sound track with the people telling the story on it and songs. We have costumes and a stage. This year i was mary. Let me just say, it was so awkward! My cousin was Joseph and we couldn't stop laughing.

Those are some of my family traditions at Christmas time. Thanks Sarah for letting me blog swap with you! merry Christmas everyone!

Music Monday

You guys might be expecting a Christmas song, with it being Christmas Eve and all, but, call me a Scrooge, I don't listen to Christmas music.  On my own free will, that is.  I love Christmas Music!  But I would much rather listen to my own music.  It's totally fine and appreciated when others play it, but... yeah.  Sorry..

Anywho......

Today's song is....

Literally been obsessed with this songs since Saturday.  Haha.  Been on repeat.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Stay tuned for a blog swap with My Life in Pink later today!

Christmas Adam.

My friend, Jill, told me today was "Christmas Adam" today.  Makes sense right?  Tomorrow's Christmas Eve, so...  yeah.

Anywho, today was an awesome day!

We had a seriously awesome Sunday School lesson.  We watched a Christmas video and then shared our thoughts about what the Savior has done for us in our lives.  It was so amazing.

And then in Young Women's, all the Branch leaders gave a truly amazing lesson.  I was so touched.

And after that, in Sacrament Meeting, it was the Ward Choir Christmas Program!  And I was part of it!  It was so beautiful.  So glad I was in it.

Anyway, this was my Christmas outfit.  I know, it's not in Christmas colors, but black and white is wintery enough, right?

happy veteran's day!  

"freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.  we didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.  it must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the united states."  -ronald reagan

"never take our freedom for granted, because our freedom is not free!"  -anon.

happy halloween? {question mark intended.}

i'm just going to tell you now.  this is probably the worst halloween i have ever experienced.  but i'm dealing with it.  i have english homework.  and my social studies teacher gave me a 48 question review packet and the answers have to be in essay format. due tomorrow.  dumb. 

on the bright side, i might do something with my friends!  but probably not.  because homework is dumb.

p.s.  can i say i sincerely love all of my friends so much?!  they are always there for me and they always make me feel included no matter what.  i love 'em all.  {and i know this is a random spot for a p.s.  but it fit here, all right?}

but anyways...  i hope you all are having a better halloween then i am!  please, enjoy these to put you more in the spirit.

night creeper.

saturday night i went to a costume/birthday party.  i wasn't planning on dressing up this year, so i had to throw something together about 2 hours before.  and this is what i came up with.

yes.  i was a gangster.  i basically just put on a black tank, leather jacket, black earrings, a bunch of necklaces, and my lace-ups.  and then i teased my hair into a little puff thing and put on some cat-eye eyeliner.  

it was all based off of the music video for our deal by best coast.  see?

Get More: Best Coast, 'Our Deal' - Directed By Drew Barrymore, Music, More Music Videos

it was all based on the night creepers.  haha.

♥, sarah

p.s.  it took me a while to get the "nobody understands me"-gangster look.  every time i tried, my sister laughed.  bahahahaha.

p.s. again.  red comes out tomorrow!  no freaking way!!!!!  i'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  i can't contain myself.  here comes the exclamations.

sister date!

as you may know from an earlier post, my sister {chanel} and i went on a sister date yesterday!  she gave me a "coupon" for christmas saying she would take me out for one "sister date."  and i hadn't used it 'til now!

we kicked it off by going to logan's roadhouse!  best place ever!!!  they give you peanuts and you just throw the shells on the floor!  and the have a jukebox full of country music!  here are some pics of us in front of their sign.

{me on the left, chanel on the right...}

 this is chanel showing me how to crack a peanut open...

"on the peanut, there is a little line, that is like the seam of the peanut shell.  line up the seam with your teeth, bite, and the peanut will split open."  -chanel

then nelly took some pix of me!

they have this sign on all of the booths, because there is this step, and for some reason it makes me crack up.  haha.

here are the rest of the pics from logan's...

{the peanut bucket!}

{my "to go" box}

 then we went to tempe marketplace.

there we went to a few places....  though, first we went to charmin' charlies.  {this awesome jewelry store!} we didn't buy anything, but it was fun anyways!  did i mention it was both of our first times going there?!

this was an accidental picture, but it looks awesome!!!!

we also tried on some wedding ring look-a-likes!  we took pictures with our favs.

{left: my hand, right: chanel's hand...}

{left: me, right: nelly}

then we went to mojo yougurt!  yummm!  :P

we both got chocolate, but i got 2 big brownie chunks and some cookie dough chunks on mine!

then we went to downeast basics, it'sugar, and gap.  sorry i don't have any pics, but we kind of got distracted, espeically in it'sugar!  that was an amazing place!  i just wanted to eat everything!  oh and at gap we saw this hoody that totally looked like niall's from one direction:

identical.

then i splashed my feet in the little water park there.

yup!  we had a great time.  best memorial day ever!!!!

♥, sarah

p.s. i finally got that trim today!!!!  my hair is split-end free!  it feels amazing!!!
