"that envelope thingy"

this clip from the big bang theory has a special place in my heart:

fireside moment

i downloaded a new app today. i now have a cozy, crackling fire at my fingertips. and YOU are cordially invited to enjoy a 25 second fireside moment with me:

...the only down side is that we can't have any s'mores. =(

eva's first christmas

even though my whole family wasn't together for christmas this year, it was still pretty special because it was eva's FIRST! and while we all weren't in one room, we were all "together" on skype. i loved it. so many faces on so many screens. simply glorious.

eva certainly enjoyed herself too:

i love making her laugh and smile.
it's literally SUNSHINE for the soul.

"flying animal metropolis"

this isn't news to any i'm sure but I LOVE OWL CITY. i first stumbled across them on my pandora account and my irrisitable draw to them took off. their music is light and fluffy and no matter how bad a mood i may be in, their music always manages to get me to smile as i sing along and i find my shoulders hopping to the beat. its infectious! i love it. =D

my favorite song...?
fireflies.
hands down.

here's the music video:

i even got to see them in CONCERT! franklin and natalie went to a jack johnson concert in tampa and they were selling john mayer and OWL CITY tickets for TWENTY BUCKS! an opportunity made in heaven. =)

ready. set. SMILE!

have you seen this american express commercial?

well my sister natalie and i have and we FELL IN LOVE with the idea of finding smiley faces in every day life! we started spotting them a few months ago and with the help of corey, april, brian, morgan, and chelsey, we have made a nice little collection for ourselves.

so here we have it. our collection thus far:

ready. set. SMILE!

"jonah" walking

natalie and i were PRIVILEGED enough to be able to watch our sister-in-law jonna (that's "ja-nah") walk her final graduation ceremony in our PAJAMAS! her school had a live video feed for those who weren't able to attend--thank goodness too! because my attire wouldn't have been appropriate for the ceremony. =)

they had a pretty neat idea. and it would all have been so perfect except the announcer said her name WRONG! ALL that work she put into getting her degree and the very last thing was messed up. (we're sorry jonna! but you looked HOT in your gown! hahaha.)

(you can hear her name announced 16 seconds in...)

(snickering)

WE LOVE YOU "JONAH" WATSON!!!!!
and we are SO PROUD of you. =D

failure to communicate...

my sister bethany and i live together, go to church together, and yes, we even work together. needless to say, she and i have had our fair share of disagreements over the last couple of months. she and i are like black and white. everything about us is the complete opposite. its been a bit rough lately because we've been spending SO MUCH time together. so much so that our boss has picked up on it. below is a video he sent her and i. i'm the one talking and bethany is the one that GOT BEAT.

we DIED laughing!!!

buckle up!

when i was a little kid, i'd go spend two weeks every summer with my aunt & uncle in ohio. my aunt was hard-nosed about safety and made me promise to ALWAYS wear my seat belt. now, i was a kid then and didn't really care about seat belts or driving, but you know what? to this day, every time i get in the car, i remember the promise i made to her. for those of you who don't have hard-nosed aunts that make innocent naive kids promise things they might not ever keep, here is a BEAUTIFUL video to inspire you each time you get in the car. =)

YOU know why!

i just finished my BLOODY 2009 taxes. i hate taxes. and on top of that hate, this year was even more challenging since i lived in two different states and had to file two different federal returns and one state return. i won't go into the gorey details about the ordeal. i'm a better person than that. NOT! but i will tell you, sometimes people just make me wanna scream. and hit them. hard. and THEY KNOW WHY!

simply george

h&y

i LOVE hoops and yoyo. these guys CRACK me up!

ps. you are SOOOO cute!

"i'm not a dancer. i'm just drunk"

aaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!

i've been elfed!

final stretch

i'm warming up--getting my vocals ready for christmas morning!

here's a taste of what you're gonna be missing:

sing to me

"i have created a TREEE!"

i wasn't able to go this year with my family to get the christmas tree like tradition dictates. (pouting like a two year old) so instead, i get to relive the memories from last year. [which wasn't SO bad.] hahahaha.

the curse of the chipotle undies

who wants to go with me to have some chipotle?!!! =D
