bringing in the new year

first off i would like to apologize for the lack of posts due to the busyness of the holidays. 

2011 has been a year of great things, such as graduating from high school, taking on a new adventure in life by moving to the twin cities, and successfully completing my first semester as a college freshman. However, after an interesting year i'm excited for the new year and the change that will come along with it.

exactly a year ago! 

I would just like 
to say i'm thankful for a new year and everyone who is
going to be in it with me.

cheers. and happy new years.

one crazy family

Saturday marked the day of the annual Noble Christmas.
I'd like to say i'm blessed to have such a huge, joyous, loving, and craaaaaaazy family.
Whenever we are together we make the memories of a lifetime and this year's Christmas was no exception
our night included......

Amazing food (as always)
A ginger bread house making competition
Present giving/opening
Singing of Christmas carols....
oh and a gigantic DANCE PARTY
(who's family doesn't do that?)

every year we get something matching...this year it was hats.

the ginger bread house winner (note we only had 30 min. to create)

one of my great gifts

even Grandpa likes to dance to "i'm sexy and i know it" 

did I mention the boyfriend "christmas initiation"?? 
this is always a hoot, who know's why they stick around..

my UofM sista. loveeehersoomuch.



and to top it all off.... my grandpa is santa

it's a very merry christmas


well after two long tests Wednesday night my Christmas break official began (thankgoodness)
which was followed by 3 boxes of wine, the best girls ever, secret santa gifts, and christmas music.
the night was full of laughter to say the least.

our pretty little christmas tree (blue balls and all, thank you Kristine), and our secret santa gifts



the girls and their awesome gifts.



kristine and i oddly enough had each other for secret santa

the even crazier thing is..........

we got each other matching bags! 

now i'm packing my life up and headed home for a whole month, hope everyone has a great weekend.

allllllmooossssttt there.

Hi all. So it just wouldn't be right if I didn't post about my first encounter with college finals. So here we go...... I don't have any! I'm one lucky gal right? Tomorrow is my last day of my first semester in college. I'm thrilled. However I've spent my last few days with my nose in the books prepping for my "last tests."

I hope everyone else's studies are going well

Hanging with my best friends for the night.

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

sooo just finished my DIY christmas gift for Landon Curtis.
I used a deck of cards and wrote down the 52 reasons i love him.
(which was easy to do of course) :) 
I hope he loves it as much as I do! Wish me luck!






Cute huh?:)

it's the greatest time of year.

hello again. it's been a long and eventful weekend.
my sister Anna Marie came to visit me in the city. 
(getting her fix of the UofM) 
While here, we ate, laughed, shopped, laughed, ate and had a grand time we also realized how close to christmas time it is:) seeing all the gorgeous decorations. To top the weekend off, there was a snow storm covering the city white. 
The loves of my life at the Mall of America.

look at the awesome decorations!
my silly lunch dates (Anna and Landon)
sisters in the snow.
