Merry Christmas Friends...LoVe YoU...A lOt~

Now I am sure you are all sick of hearing it, but can I just say how wonderful life is?!?! I always think how different my life would be had my parents not gotten divorced,and i actually grew up in California! I really can't imagine it! It's kind of crazy! I'm pretty sure I would basically be the same Amber, kind of free spirited and creative....although I have to say, I think if I lived/grew up in California, I might have a slightly more exciting life...bc I love California, and it is amazing! However, I have met the most amazing people here in Texas! I love love love them so much! And therefore I think it is necessary to dedicate this post to that which I think makes my life so so so sweet! My Friends!
Ash: I mean, despite the fact that we literally have the same DNA, you are the most awesome girl I know! I love that I can just look at you and I know we are thinking the same thing! You are too much fun, and I couldnt imagine living with anyone else for the last 21 years!
Elysia: you are way too fun! Who could have guessed that one awkward picture would lead to such an awesome friendship! If I knew such great things would come, Im pretty sure I would ask to take an awkward picture with every person I thought might be as amazingly awesome as you!
Mollie: I love love love you! You always laugh at my silly jokes, and yes, I do say stupid things, but you always understand! I love it, and most of all I love you!
Brit: You have def. been the best roomate ever! I love how just watching T.V. together seriously may have been the highlight of a week that otherwise may have been terrible! I cant wait for the wedding, Clay is so awesome, and I totally approve..but you knew that!
Kristen: I mean, basically as a cd giving friend...well I suck...but you don't hold that against me... and well that is what real friends are made of right?! Plus you laugh at me too, and you are just fun...so that is enough for me!
Christina: You share my philosophy on credit cards...well probably not to the same extreme, but I know you will always be up for shopping with me, and when everyone else is telling me how irresponsible I am, I know I can count on you! Which is good!
Arch: I mean despite the fact that you are awesome, and fun, and cook the best fajitas EVER, you always make haning out fun! And it has to be said, no one would be as patient with my running in circles while playing Halo...so THANKS!
Chris and Sabrina: Now I know we dont see eachother like....Ever...but when we do.,..AMAZINGLY fuN! Can I just say, that I may say funny words in the wrong order sometimes...but lets be honest...that happens on a regular basis...even when mexican martini's are not involved...so dont judge!:) Also, Im pretty sure I would not let anyone else in my house when it is that dirty....ever! So you really should feel special.
Jordan: Are there words...this I'm not sure! I love you...and I'm pretty sure we have crammed so major catching up in fast! Love iT!!!
Donnie: Mkay, you may be the most sarcastic with me...and frankly... I love it, bc secretly sarcasm is really the only way to go about things! It really is so much more fun! You make me smile, and I really have so much fun all the time! We have to cram as much fun in as possible before school starts again...kapeesh? I know you agree!
Clayton: I mean are there really words?! I dont know...but I will say that you may be(and by may, I mean for sure) the coolest person ever! You just don't care, and I love it! I wish I could be so much more like that! I laugh way too much when I am with you and it is quite awesome!
Kane: I love that you actually want to hang out with a loser like me, and well everyone else too!:) Sleepover this weekend for sure!
AmberDenae: I am so so so happy that I met you ( in a random, roundabout way!) You are such a light for God, and I really love love love talking to you! You give me such a fresh, beautiful perspective to all that I am feeling, because I know you are going through a lot of the same things~ I thank God every day that I have gotten to share even a glimmer of your life with you! You are beautiful and I really cherish all that you say!
Haley: I mean, this really could go a lot of ways...but I will leave it at this....I only let you and only you refer to me as half of the things you do! It is fun, and I really leave your house laughing...pretty much all the time! Too much fun!
Macy: You pretty much have the most awesome singing skills ever, and I have to say that your constant texting and phone calling always keeps me intrigued...dont ever forget a test hello early in the morning....just a helpful tip from a super smart girl!
Jenna: I love that you wanted to be friends four years ago after I akwardly got excited, and asked you to invite me over...oh year after I had already asked for your number...well lets be honest...I probably invited myself over, but look where we are now!>! You actually invite me over yourself!:) Oh yeah, and I love Bella too...duh!

M.I.A ... Literally!

Okay, so in hindsight, I guess it really hasn't been that terribly long since my last post, but it really feels like forever! I have been so busy finishing up this semester...and having a little fun too! I seriously cant wait for Christmas Break! I so just want to work and have fun, work and have fun! It will be oh so nice! Speaking of working...I am so poor right now! I really haven't figured out how I am going to buy Christmas presents...pasta necklaces anyone?! I will figure things out I am sure, most likely, my sis and I will go on a crazy expedition on Christmas Eve! This is usually how we complete our Christmas shopping every year, then we stay up until 2am wrapping, and are asleep just long enough for "Santa" to sneak our Christmas Stockings in front of the tree. Good Times! I really don't know what to get my sis this year...or any year for that matter:) I stole, well borrowed some old black and white photos of my dad's parents to have framed, my mom is basically an older version of me, so she will be super easy to shop for! She wears all the same clothes I do, and shops at all the same stores...so it really wont be too hard to pick something out! My little brother is happy with anything Star Wars right now, and Breezy, aside from a car, would be happy with anything to do with horses or A&M University. Ash....still clueless! Not even the slightest idea. Funny story...the other day I had a friend ask what he should get her...all I could come up with...paper. She loves stationary. Like she has boxes of the stuff...why, I don't know. Its not like she's writing to anyone, but she just likes it. He clearly was confused by my suggestion:) I will come up with something a little better than that I hope! So, I also have set myself up to have two weekends off over the break! I am so excited! Im going to La Grange to stay with my aunt one weekend, and the other is still up in the air. I really have been wanting to find somewhere to Volunteer over the holidays. Im thinking like homeless shelterish...I dont really know! Ive just been kind of overwhelmed with a spirit and need to give lately! I passed a homeless girl and her dog the other day, and all I had was a dollar! I felt terrible, so I gave it to her and then went to the store and bought her food and dog food/treats. When I went back, she was getting into a car loaded with four other dogs, two of which were tiny puppies! Not to mention the three other ppl in the car. This made me feel like I was still offering so much less than they needed, but she was very thankful for the gesture! Anyway...I know I should give like this all the time, but all this cold weather and christmas cheer really just makes you want to help however you can.
