So during this Christmas break home I should be working on
job applications and my portfolio for graduation. I have a feeling I am going
to have to schedule a weekly chunk of time next semester to get those things
finished because I have done literally nothing so far. But that is because I
have been having waaaaaayyy too much fun!!
I have been trying to go attend a Sundy Best show since I
fell in love with them this summer. They regularly play in Lexington, KY but occasionally
travel to other places. It seems like fate has been keeping from them for all
these months but the stars aligned last week. Tracy and I were able to drive
the short although windy and snowy hour long stretch to meet up with some
friends and attend the show. I think it is safe to say that last Thursday was
the absolute best Thursday I experienced in 2012. Gosh, was I a very happy
girl! I sang at the top of my lungs, danced my way to the front of the stage,
and smiled non-stop. My excitement level was through the roof and Sundy Best
did not disappoint. I have linked some of my favorite songs right here for you
to enjoy as well!
Something else I have been doing is enjoying romantic
Hallmark Christmas movies. No matter the time of day we can turn one on and
people in our house get hooked… even though every plot is pretty much
identical. I think over Thanksgiving break I made a wish so I could get some
secret Santa Christmas magic in my life. (A quick disclaimer: I know having a
man is not the most important thing in my life but if I am in the Hallmark
spirit I just go along with it.) If I had some secret magic this is what would
happen and my life would be like a Hallmark movie: First, I would meet a nice
and good looking guy in a cute clever way. Perhaps even arguing about something
or thinking he is giving me dirty looks and hates me for no reason. Next, we
would run into each other again and be fairly surprised at how much we enjoy
each other’s company. At some point he will reference a charitable act and my
heart will melt. I am super impressed when he opens car doors for me and holds
my hand as we cross the street. We share dessert (major points in my book!) and
sit on the same side of the booth to watch other people karaoke. (In a real
Hallmark movie someone would probably karaoke and be incredible at it, but since
this is my story and I wouldn’t be incredible I am leaving that part out.)
Afterwards as we walk along a beautiful path of Christmas lights twinkling and
toy train displays a view of the gorgeous Cincinnati skyline appears, seemingly
out of nowhere. As we are enjoying the scenery some reindeer wander out and
begin grazing near us. (In my story it really should just be deer because
reindeer do not live near me but reindeer are so much more magical!) The next
step of a Hallmark movie is snow falling without anyone being cold and of
course a kiss under the stars is soon to follow.
Maybe I know the Hallmark movie formula a little too well or
maybe I am really caught up in the Christmas spirit or maybe I just had a
really good first date? Wishing all of my friends, family, and followers a very happy holiday hoping that it is spent with
those you love. When you are happy with the gifts you have the magic is already
there. I love you all. Merry Christmas!
