I'm Very Proud of Ya, 2011

Whoosh! I have officially made it through the holidays alive! Now, if the rest of this winter doesn't kill me, I will be one happy girl. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a kicking New Year's Eve. I spent it with the best mother in the world and my best friend in the world, my lovely cousin, Laurana Walk. You should probably go tweet her @peacemaker68 and tell her how awesome she is. Anyway, I had a lovely Christmas and New Year's Eve and wanted to share with you some photos.

These photos were taken by a friend's mother, so they are not mine. These are from some charity work/ singing my chamber choir did.

It was extremely fun and heart-warming, and I'm very blessed to have been a part of something so special, with special and giving people. These next photos (also taken by my friend's mother) were taken at our choir's Christmas concert on December 15th. Now THAT night was pretty stellar.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2011 and hope 2012 is even better. There are several albums/ concerts I am anticipating, so hopefully this girl will be partying her little butt off. I have also made the resolution to eat and overall BE a healthier person. I have several sleep disorders and food and overall health has a lot to do with how I feel. I'd like to try the natural route as opposed to popping a bunch of pills. It makes me feel like crap when I do that, so I need a change.

Song Update: Laurana has introduced me to some early AFI so Very Proud of Ya is a good I-wanna-smash-your-face-in-and-sing-about-it kinda album. Good stuff.

Book Update: I'm about to start The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini for class. I've already read it once, last year for another class. That book literally changed me when I read it. I have never cried harder over another book. It speaks for itself.
