=)

She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens.

She smiles when she feels like screaming, and she sings when she feels like crying.

She cries when she’s happy and laughs when she’s afraid. Her love is unconditional.

There’s only one thing wrong with her. She forgets what she’s worth.

whoa! i’m brunette!!

still getting used to it!! didn’t think i’d every see the day, again!! LOL :)

UGH

Can I just start by saying I completely forgot how to update the look of this blog and it is frustrating me to no end!!! I guess I will do some more work on it tomorrow, since it’s almost 3:30am. (grrr)

In better news, I plan to go to the Apple store on Tuesday and purchase myself a new MacBook Pro!!! :)

WHOA

It has been nearly a year since my last post, I can’t believe it! I miss blogging, a lot, I wish I had dedicated more time in the last year to keep up with it! What can I say, I’ve been extremely busy!!

I’m currently working full time, and going to school! That a long with going to the gym almost daily and spending QT with my family and friends has taken a lot of my time away! I am on a new mission to live a happy, healthy lifestyle, free of drama and problems! I think that getting back into blogging would be good for me, I have lots to share and talk about, whether anyone listens or not is another story! I miss making my videos and stuff too – booo, this saddens me! The only thing I can do from here is try harder I guess, getting a new computer wouldn’t be a bad idea either… Macbook Pro anyone!? ;) I guess we shall see where things go from here, again!!

I SUCK

wow, I have been the crappiest blogger known to man lately!! I have been so so busy that I haven’t had time to update anything! :( Makes me sad, I used to be so good at blogging!

Since my last blog I have been busy working, hanging with family and friends, and just having fun! My beautiful niece Kendall turned a year old!! I also went out for Halloween as a peacock, probably my best costume yet, I’ll post some pictures soon!! I went to Vegas at the beginning of this month to work the SEMA show, basically the biggest car show in the world, and it was awesome! I’ll probably have to post a blog about that all on it’s own!

I’ve got some photo shoots in the works, which I’ll hopefully get done soon! I’m also thinking about dying my hair dark, but haven’t totally convinced myself yet… what do you all think I should do???

Tomorrow is thanksgiving and I’m looking forward to some yummy food and quality family time! I hope everyone else has an awesome day to look forward too!!!

I promise to update on a regular basis!! I’ll post again asap!!

MY MOVIE DEBUT!!!!

If you haven’t seen it yet, please go see Sorority Row NOW! It just opened in theaters on Friday night!! Last year I was selected as a featured extra in the film! Shooting a movie was seriously awesome, and I definitely hope to do many more in the future! Let me tell you, you never really know the hard work and effort that goes into a movie until you see it from behind the scenes! Being on a movie set was awesome!! :)

Check out the trailer! :)

I went Saturday night with a bunch of my girls to check it out! My mother even joined us! Haha! I used my iPhone to capture my part on screen! It may be hard to see considering it’s pretty dark, but that’s me on the couch with the guy!! :) Pretttty awesome if you ask me!! eeeeek! The best part of my video is all of us screaming with excitement!!!

VACATION 2009!!!

DSC01438

I’ve been back from vacation for exactly a week now, and I’m already missing the beach! It was so nice to relax and not worry about anything!! :) We went to Kure Beach, North Carolina! It was a small strip of semi-private beach, and since it was their off season we basically had the whole thing to ourselves!! It was my niece Kendall’s first vacation so this was super exciting for all of us! Thankfully she loved the beach and the ocean and had such a good time!

The vacation consisted of my Mom, sister Jessica, her boyfriend Andy, my niece Kendall, mom’s friend Denise, and two of my best friends Rachel and Nina! We got there Saturday and Nina wasn’t able to join us until Tuesday night but we still had a blast and did lots of fun things, especially Rachel and I who I believe drank all day everyday for 7 days… haha no judgment please! :)

We spent a lot of time at the beach and in the pool, checked out a really sweet aquarium near where we were staying, we also went to downtown Wilmington a few times… which is actually where they film one of my favorite shows One Tree Hill which was awesome!!!

This is probably going to be a long post, cause I have a ton of pictures to check out below, just figured I’d share! :) Enjoy!!

First here is the video of my precious little niece unpacking her own suitcase!! :)

Me on the beach! :)

KAYAK PITTSBURGH

kayak

Last Saturday I decided I wanted to do do something fun outside! I have kayaked lots and lots of times before, while camping, but have lived in Pittsburgh for 23 and a half years and have never done it on the river so close to home! So we went down to the North Shore to check out Kayak Pittsburgh so we could rent some kayaks and hit the river!

It was definitely a lot of fun, going up the river was pretty hard to do against the current, but on our way back we were definitely floating!! hahaha. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to do something fun out doors before the nice weather comes to an end!!

Check out Kayak Pittsburgh‘s website to see rates and times of their two different locations (North Shore and North Park)
