Artsy Fartsy

Yesterday I had a movie night with my mother and we finally went to see Les Miserables! One word- Amazing! If you really knew me then you would know that I'm the biggest theatre junkie, particularly favoring musicals. Once I see a show I don't just see it once, or twice but multiple times! I feel like it just gets better and better each time. My mom and I left the theatre with swollen faces and bloodshot eyes. The message was remarkable and I recommend it to you all! 

Speaking of musicals, my most recent obsession, Smash, is returning February 5th for it's second season and they're adding Jennifer Hudson to the cast! I absolutely loved her work in the movie Dreamgirls and I know that she'll fit right in with this show. I literally have a countdown already in progress and I'm beyond excited to have this show back in my life. I just recently bought the season 1 DVD so I could refresh my memory before the new season begins. I've already watched the season twice...yep, it's that good! Here's a little trailer of season 2 so you can get a feel of what I'm obsessing over! 



Aren't you hooked already?

Back At It Again

Yep. Here I am again with yet ANOTHER blog. In all honesty, I just lost my password for my other blog account and also forgot my hotmail password so there goes all my old writing! I guess in a way this is great because now I can focus on my new beginnings and leave the old behind. 

By the way, HAPPY 2013 EVERYONE! I have such a great feeling about this year. I feel like a lot of exciting adventures are heading my way. Speaking of new year, let me catch y'all up on what I've been up to since I've last left off!

Let's start off with Christmas! My favorite holiday and time of year! Christmas music, the smell of the tree, sitting by the warm fire while humming christmas carols, I LOVE IT ALL! This year was the same as all of the others except it seems like each year our family gets bigger and the house gets smaller! I love my huge family and that we all stay in one house and wake up together that morning. This year it also snowed! How perfect is that? Snow on christmas was the cherry on top of a perfect day! The only thing missing was Anthony but he was coming in town that Thursday so that just gave me something to look forward to! 

As Thursday rolled around Anthony finally made his way to Dallas and I was reunited with my baby after 2 weeks! We just relaxed that day and later that night went to Red River with a few friends! The rest of the weekend went by far too fast but finally it was Sunday and I drove back to San Antonio with Anthony and his brother Richard to celebrate New Years! 

NYE, the night where everyone gets all dolled up, RSVP to the hottest party and ponders on who their midnight kiss will be. My NYE was NOTHING like that this year but truthfully it was one of the best. We had the most relaxing yet FUN and HUMOROUS night together! That day we just ran around town running some errands and watched some football while relaxing in bed. Later on we decided to go to dinner and finish off our last meal of the year with sushi! Yum!!! Then after dinner we headed to HEB and picked up some wine and headed back to his place. We literally drank our wine and watched the ball drop at his house and then had a mini dance party in his room with just us two. After downing the wine we decided to make another wine trip and basically danced and sang our hearts out to Wiz Khalifa and "Scream and Shout" by Britney Spears & Will.I.Am (don't judge Anthony, you fellas know you sing that song too)... The next day we literally lounged all day while watching football ALLLLLL DAYYYYY LONGGGGG. 

The next day I headed back home to Dallas, sad as ever that I had to leave Anthony once again but I know I'll see him soon! Here are some pictures of everything recently!
