Happy New Year

I love the new year... It is a time to reflect and prepare for the future. I have spent the last year starting new ventures.. moving on.. taking risks... losing lots...gaining tons.. and I have made a ton of friends in the process!! I hate new years resolutions so I will just call these a list of things that I hope will make 2009 a year to remember!

1. Diversity my business... I am trying to not get burned out on insurance!
2. Travel more.. learn more...
3. Learn a new language
4. Move to a new country
5. Play music more
6. Enjoy my family and friends more
7. Live my life.. like I am dying tomorrow.

Here are some pictures from my trip so far. Enjoy!

Christmas in Dallas so far....

I decided to come to Dallas for a week before Christmas so I could spend time with my family and friends before I left out of town for work... Here are some of the photos so far from my trip to Dallas..

Christmas in Dallas

My brother finally graduates and more holiday parties!

Well.. I am so happy to say that after three and one half years of college my brother finally graduated this past weekend from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. I know.. I know this isn't that long but it seems like forever.. My brother is such a free spirit and never really took school as seriously as my sister and I so, finally my brother is out of school and will have to go back if he plans to get a job worth anything in this economy!

I have also added pictures from another holiday party in Austin.. enjoy.. I have been to four holiday parties and counting!

The beginning of the holiday parties

My favorite holiday of the year would have to be Christmas.. My dad said that growing up he would love the anticipation of Christmas but to be let down the night of Christmas.. I have always felt the exact same way.. This is the beginning of my holiday season with some photos of some of my best friends from college.. I more commonly call "The Girls!" I have many more pictures to come.. The season just started!! Enjoy!!
