Santa, thanks for the Roses

Santa sure brought me one heck of a gift.....a big, nice, and shiny ticket to the National Championship game played in the rose bowl! The rose bowl is one of the great historic landmarks of college football and i am so pumped! I sure hope my boys pull it out and play like i know they can because i will be there cheering them on!!!

Inspired today

Today on Youtube i came across this video of Celine Dion aand this 16 year old filipino girl who performed a duet with the one and only Celine Dion....it was great just watch the video and follow the link!

Good times at UA!

Well as most of you may know...if not, shame on you! (just kidding) I attend the univeristy of alabama and let me tell you, there are some good things going on in Tuscaloosa! Our football team has done great all year and we made it to the SEC championship game and just played awesome,probably the best i have seen them play all year long, it was just so awesome! Winning that game gave us a bid to THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game in Pasadena, Ca at the Rose Bowl stadium. The very next weekend was another historic moment for the Alabama Crimson Tide, when our very own Mark Ingram won the hiesman trophy - this is debated as one of the most prestigious awards in college football - this was history because it was the first heisman trophy ever to come to alabama...crazy i know! 12 national championships, and 22(i think) SEC championships and yet no heisman but now...We do!! yay! it was so awesome..I was so happy for Mark and crazy watching it happen to a guy that i see when i eat lunch on campus.

So now we are on to the rose bowl, in pasadena! Matthew and I and some friends are attempting to make the trip out there! We are so excited and know that this is a special opportunity and if we win then we definitely want to be there to witness it! =) We will see how it plays out but i cannot express how proud i am to be a part of this university and the overwhelming spirit that is just overflowing across the nation!

Since i am doing nothing more than watching tv, eating, and hanging out with friends i will try and be more up to date on this blogging thing! Love you all and ROLL TIDE!!!

She said....YES!

Did I mention that my brother proposed to his long-time girlfriend tonight! And she said YES!! I am so happy for them and so glad to have a new sister in the family...I still cannot believe that my bubby is getting married though!!

Defying Gravity

I have heard multiple tracks from the musical Wicked, but had not actually seen the show...while in NYC we actually got to go see Wicked on Broadway and let me tell you...it was INCREDIBLE! i absolutely loved it, defying gravity is one of my favorite songs anyway and to get to see it performed in its original setting was great (2nd best definitely Glee) Well it was awesome and I am sure i could individually blog about everything that we did in NYC...it was a great trip!

Crumbs Bake Shop

Visiting New York City over thanksgiving i sought out this precious little cupcake cafe called Crumbs bake shop. I recommend it to anyone! it was phenomenal and had some of the most amazing gourmet cupcakes! Believe me we bought 12 and took them back to the hotel and just pigged out for a couple days! There were all sorts such as red velvet, apple pie (with real apples inside), grasshopper(mint/chocolate), smores, raspberry swirl...etc! The one we visited was on Amsterdam and close to 75th? i think...it was very near the upper west side of central park...Everyone should try them cause they were awesome!

back to the usual

As you can see i have reverted the blog back to the generic "me" blog haha and not just the cupcakes..i do love the cupcakes but it was not much to write on and not too successful on the attempts haha. I really wanted to be able to change the decorations with the holidays/seasons and write about whatever! but lots to come of new york and family news!
