Thankful

I am thankful for my family. They mean everything to me. We did Thanksgiving day at my Auntie Linda's house and on Saturday we will be holding a mini turkey day for Uncle Troy and Auntie Stu. I hope everyone had a good holiday. :)

Overwhelming

Lately it has been feeling like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. I have been pretty exhausted this week with getting papers done and using my brain to the fullest potential. Other than that, my work load has been swamped at the office. I know I complain when there is little to do and then complain when there is too much. Can't a girl get just the right amount!? Maybe in a perfect world. I just get stressed when I feel like things should be getting done faster when I can only go a certain pace. I was so excited that Thanksgiving break (a week off of school) was arriving and I had intentions on taking a day or two off in there but those plans were quickly shot when the massive amount of files arrive to my "office." Oh well, I guess there is always Christmas time to take off.

Other than the stress of life... I am super excited about this weekend. I have plans to have dinner with three of my favorite people tomorrow night. Diego, Linda, Mike and I are having dinner together and then heading to a birthday party for a friend later. It should be a relaxing night with good company and many laughs. On Saturday I will be going to Disneyland with Mike. I am so stoked! We used to go every year around Christmas but missed last year due to low monetary funds. So, I haven't been since 2007 and I am glad Mike works with a guy who also works at the park, which means free admission :)

With all the craziness going on this weekend I hope I can manage a good nights rest. I am going to need it in order to return to work on Monday. Thankfully my homework load over the Fall break is relatively light so I can enjoy Thanksgiving and family time.

P.S. I have been so busy that my Canon thinks I am abandoning him... shooting with definitely be happening this week!

Three For Four

I got my camera!!! I got my Juicy perfume!!! I got my Toms!!! I got three gifts of the four I wanted for my birthday. What is left for Christmas now? Nothing! I am so happy and thankful for all the love I felt this past week. My birthday party was Saturday and it was the best party ever! Thank you to all the people who made it so special. It couldn't have gone any better and I loved all of my friends and family finally getting together and getting a chance to meet one another.

I am in love with my Toms and they are more comfortable than I thought! Thanks Linda for the Toms and Mike for the perfume and EVERYONE who gave me cash in a card... you sure donated to this delectable camera!

Need Of A Camera

One of the biggest reasons I need a camera, other than the obvious photo opportunities, is that all my other friends who have cameras take pictures of groups and friends but then delete 70% of the pictures because their "hair looks bad" or their "head looks big." So, Canon... you will be the savior to my life because now I can actually take pictures and not delete them right away! I can't wait to buy you. I already know it will be a beautiful relationship and I will love you unconditionally. Thanks to everyone for the birthday gifts and donating to the "Tanya needs a camera fund." It is greatly appreciated.

Oh and.... I am 21 now. :)

The huge party with family and close friends is going down at my house this evening. One of the attorneys I work for managed to sneak a MASSIVE grey goose bottle into the office without me knowing and that was her gift to me for the party. It should be fun.
