I feel like it's such a part of me. It's where Eric and I met, and were married. It's where I found a church that I loved/love and believe in. It's where I learned to be a follower of Jesus. It holds such a special place in my heart. So imagine my elatedness when our dear friends, Tony and Kelly Gambino, joined us for the first part of our trip back to this lovely state! We ate good food, we laughed (a lot), we went wake boarding, and floated the river. It was pretty magical, I must say. Here are a few (and by a few, I mean a ton of pictures. There were just way too many good ones to pick just a few) pics showing just what an awesome time we had!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One of the events that Toni & Guy does each year is called The Soiree. It's an avante garde hair show in which all the students have free reign to create whatever they want hair-wise and really showcase their talent. The theme of this years event was the seven deadly sins. There were seven groups each based on one of those sins. My group was sloth. Each of us had a model and we did their hair and makeup. The show sold out and my model was a hit! I never thought that fantasy or avante garde hair would ever be something I would like, but it's actually so much fun! There are no rules or boundaries, or "correct" ways to do things. If you can imagine it, you can pretty much do it. I worked with an awesome girl, Erika, and together we worked on the queen of the sloths. Here are some pictures from the event courtesy of the amazing Tony Gambino:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've got another fantasy show coming up in just a few weeks. It's a competition between some of the local salons around Albuquerque and...us, a school! I'm super excited/nervous/asking myself what in the world I've gotten myself into...but it's good. And it's gonna be a blast. Nick Arrojo from <i>What Not to Wear </i>will be there (which makes me even more nervous!) but I'm excited to learn from more experienced hair dressers and to have fun doing it!</span></div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09486146014267716813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007671570591704271.post-28609230707323484152012-07-11T17:40:00.000-07:002012-07-11T17:45:38.250-07:00Nutshell<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">While in NY, I didn't get a whole lot of video. Typically I get a ton! But this trip really was focused on family time (plus I forgot my phone once or twice hahaha!). So this video is short, but I think it's our trip in a nutshell. I hope you enjoy!</span></div>

Turns out, when you're in school full time and working part time, there's not a whole lot of motivation//time//topics to blog. Some days off are spent trying to catch up with family//friends//life and other days I find all I want to do is absolutely nothing. I suppose I just need to embrace this fact instead of feeling guilty for not blogging as much as I feel I should (just how often is that anyways?). For this year of working super duper hard I suppose random updates on life and maybe a little inspiration here and there will have to do. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<b>School:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
For the first few months I was absolutely loving my time there. All day every day was spent in a classroom learning all kinds of cuts and colors. I couldn't get enough. As you advance through the curriculum, a good chunk of your time at the school is spent on the floor. I have to fill a certain amount of "quotas" which takes up time, but unless I have clients coming in to see me, it's pretty boring. That fact sucks! At this point in time, I'm trying to keep focused on the reason I'm there and be faithful to this school that I know I'm supposed to be at right now. I did download a countdown app a week or so ago that counts down the days until I'm supposed to graduate. Pathetic, I know. </div>

I actually really like my job. It is extremely hard, however, to go to work right after school several days a week. That's a 13 hour day my friends. (Sometimes I do wonder what the heck I'm doing!)

We're discovering that editing an EP from miles and miles away takes a bit of time! We have the final round of edits, and the next step is getting it mastered. As soon as that's done, we'll throw a big party to celebrate, and then go from there. Jayne and I are learning - slowly - how to balance both of our crazy schedules (she's busier than me if you can believe it!) with our love for music. We need to find the time to practice and write and play gigs. I sure hope finding that time gets easier...</div>

That's the extent of my life right now. I learning to find joy in the moment instead of wishing this year would go by quickly. I'm the kinda girl that can't wait for whatever is next. That's the type of mindset that robs. Who wants to be miserable waiting for the next big thing all the time? Certainly not me! There's good stuff right now, and I just need to learn how to enjoy it. </div>

<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have a love/hate relationship with earrings. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I go through seasons where I wear them all the time, and buy them all the time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
and then there are seasons, like the one I'm in currently, where NEVER wear them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Be that as it may, I still wanted to display them someplace I could see them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I bought a couple of simple black frames and lace fabric, hot glued the fabric to the back of the frame...</span></div>

The fantasy mannequin competition is something that all of the Toni & Guy students who are in their sophomore phase must participate in. The whole class took a little field trip to Hobby Lobby, and some of the professional beauty supply stores in Abq and bought some supplies. I knew that I wanted to do something Edward Scissorhands-y - inspired by the character and the movie. What I didn't want to do was dress my mannequin up as Edward Scissorhands. The competition is all about the hair, and it would've been really easy to get caught up in trying to make my mannequin look like Johnny Depp. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
Originally I wanted to do both an ice sculpture and a shrub sculpture in the hair, but as I started playing with it, I realized that that would have been biting off way more than I could chew, especially since I had never done anything like this before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
I decided to go with a bird bath shrub sculpted in the hair. I think what really gives it that Tim Burton feel is the hair curled up at the top of the bath sprouting out as "water". I pinned the hair below the sculpture up so that the ends still hung down to give it more of the Scissorhand feel. I also spray colored it black. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
The makeup was actually one of the most challenging parts. I bought some costume makeup at Party City that was made to go on flesh not on plastic mannequin face... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
I opted for more of an interpretation to Ed's makeup as opposed to more literal simply because it was giving me such a hard time : ). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: left;">
I'm so proud of how it turned out, and so happy that I won first place! Behold my fantasy mannequin:</div>

My sister is gorgeous. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Her style has morphed from non-existent, to skater girl (she literally skateboarded for like 4 years), to scenes, to hippie/bohemian, to the now. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I would describe the now as, she wears what she likes and I likes what she wears. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I'm starting a new little series, here on the blog, called "Sissy Style". </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Jayne has so graciously let me snap a couple of pictures of her in the morning before she leaves. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I love the way she dresses. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Now you will too!</div>

Alright friends...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
It's time for me to get some new glasses. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I've had the same pair going on four years now, and they've definitely taken a beating!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I mentioned Warby Parker in a <a href="http://thenotsonewlyweds.blogspot.com/2011/08/raindrops-on-roses-and-whiskers-on.html">previous post</a>, and my love for this website only grows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Using their home try on program, I selected my five favorite </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
pairs to try on at home, and they arrived on Friday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I've been wearing them around the house, trying them on for Jayne and Eric (who have completely different favorites making my decision that much harder!), I even wore a pair out to dinner on Saturday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I CAN'T DECIDE!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I've think I've narrowed it down to two pairs, but I'm turning to you, oh lovely blog world, to help me make my final decision. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">

I have a thing for doing my nails. And by "thing" I mean I do my nails all the time. It doesn't matter if I did them yesterday, I will do them again today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
My friend Christine, told me about this little teeny salon that does incredible nails. Gel nails. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
So, upon her recommendation, I made an appointment and went and got them done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Oh, don't worry. I fell in love. </div>

Getting your nails "did" can get expensive! So since Christmas time, I reverted back to doing my own. Turns out if you apply multiple (and by multiple I mean 3 or 4) coats, it gives that much sought after gel look. However, it peels off pretty easily. But for someone who loves to do their nails as much as I do, it's really no big deal. (p.s. I bought this confetti top coat from Sephora that I absolutely adore! I used it in both mani's you see below)</div>

<br />DIY time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
6 or 7 months ago, I was reading one of my favorite blogs written by <a href="http://ohmydeerhandmades.blogspot.com/">Chelsea Petaja</a>. The post that day was about her friend's baby nursery. The decor was absolutely adorable, and one of the projects she had done for the nursery caught my eye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
She had bought some cheap paperback books, folded them various ways and either hung them from the ceiling, or placed them on shelves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I went to my nearest thrift store, bought six paperback books and got folding!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
You definitely need some patience for this project. It took me a little while to fold all of the pages in all of those books, but the results were well worth it! </div>

I had some twine laying around from a previous project. I hot glued the twine to the spine of each book, and then hung them in our music room. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Typically, Eric and I surprise each other for our birthdays. But this year Eric decided he wanted something a little more low key. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He wanted friends and sushi. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So that's what we did. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We went to his favorite sushi restaurant in Albuquerque, Shogun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Because there were so many of us, they could only accommodate us at the bar. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But we had fun passing notes on the little floating boats, and Eric loved making the rounds being the social butterfly that he is. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Ever since Eric, Jayne and I moved into this big house we now call home, I have had a craving for craftiness! (Jayne calls it nesting, but that makes me old so I'm gonna stick with crafty). Now don't get me wrong - I'm not claiming to have thought of this stuff all on my own. I definitely put my own creative spin on most of my projects, but I found a lot of these projects on the web and diy blogs which I will most definitely link so you all can go take a look as well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Since today is Valentine's Day, I thought I would post a project with some lovey dovey undertones. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">A few months ago, I remember seeing a collage of embroidery hoop art. Everything I saw was absolutely adorable and I couldn't wait to try it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I took a little trip to Hobby Lobby, bought some fabric, some embroidery hoops, some embroidery thread, and few little extra things like that green fringe you'll see on the first hoop. I also had some leftover fabric scraps that I incorporated as well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I found a font that I liked online, printed out the words I wanted the hoop to say (which are from a song that Eric and I both love by Edward Sharpe and Magnetic Zeros).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">I cut out the words, placed them where I wanted, and started sewing! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">The next hoop, is the hoop I had the most fun on. I found a bird cut out online that I loved, printed it, then traced the outline on the page of <i>The Lion, The Witch and Wardrobe - </i>a book I have multiple copies of. I cut it out and added it to my hoop. I also made some flowers out of felt that I had leftover. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I LOVE SCHOOL. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm the girl that would attempt to cut her hair, specifically her bangs, time after time convinced I was able to do it - just for fun. I would spend a good chunk of time watching hairstyle tutorials on youtube, ask Eric and Jayne if they would let me cut their hair. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm ridiculous. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">During a trip home to Bend back in September, I had several conversations, that I truly believe were divine, leading me to pray about going to cosmetology at the beginning of 2012. As the Lord opened doors, I walked through them. Everything just fell into place, and now I just finished the first week of my sophomore phase. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love doing hair. I love learning the systematic ways that Toni & Guy have put into place to get a great cut every time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've just started learning color - and of course I'm loving that too!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My cute friend, Chloe let me color her hair this past Saturday and it turned out lovely. I'll try and get an after picture to post soon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Below is some of the work in freshman phase. A good chunk was learning the methodology so there wasn't a whole lot of cutting hair. But there was a little! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The picture below is of my fellow student, Angella. She asked me to cut her hair using one of the cuts that we learned. The before picture is actually of a previous time that I had styled her hair, but it shows you how much length I actually took off. I was terrified actually cutting her hair, but it turned out really nicely!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">On her, I did a french braid starting from the left side going all the way to the right. Then I pinned the length of the braid up to make it look a bit cleaner, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">and well...more milk maid-ish. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I didn't actually have a plan when I started this style. I just kind of started playing and ended up with this. I french braided the back of her hair all the way up to the crown of the head. Secured it with a hair elastic, then topped it off with a hair bow! </span></div>

I don't even know where to begin! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
After the last post, (which was almost two months ago! So sad!) Eric and I spent Christmas in Oregon with our friends and family there. It was a lovely trip. Every time we go back, I miss it a little more : ). </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
When we returned from OR, both Eric and I hit the ground running!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I started Cosmetology school at Toni & Guy, and I started a new position at The Apple Store. Needless to say my days off have been few and far between, and unfortunately I've yet to find a good balance between school, work, and the things that I love like blogging! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Eric has also been working like crazy. We've been hurting pretty bad for money for a while now (like our whole marriage lol) so we are so grateful for work coming his/our way!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I'm going to try and get on some sort of schedule, because I really do love blogging and the blogging community, and I'm eager to write about this new adventure that I've embarked on. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Out of all these crazy, time consuming changes, I have to say that school is my favorite. It's so wonderful to be able to do something that I absolutely love to do five days a week eight hours a day, all working towards a career that I love and am good at. If you have to work and bring in money, why not choose to do something that's fun?! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well, I suppose that the purpose of this blog was just to let all of you know that I haven't given up on this blog, or forgotten about you!</span>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09486146014267716813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007671570591704271.post-34175432701168397702011-12-12T07:26:00.000-08:002012-02-14T15:52:44.040-08:00Candlelight<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Another tradition for us at Christmas time is the Candlelight service at our church here in Albuquerque. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
That is something that I look forward to immensely. Everyone dresses to the nines, and they bring the <i>whole</i> family. It doesn't matter if you "go to church"...you come to candlelight. Our music department starts working on the music for this service before Thanksgiving, and the music is spectacular. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Every year that we are in town, of course we go, and I am a ball of tears the entire service. It's a time to reflect, and listen to the words. To see people you haven't seen in years and reconnect. It's by far my favorite service of the year. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I remember as I kid, I couldn't wait to hold a candle! You have to be 12, and so for a while there I was out of luck. My dad would let me semi hold his, but it wasn't the same... Year 12 came and I was beyond stoked to get my own candle. </div>

They hand them out at the doors before the service, and after all the special music, our pastor and his family go up to the front, pray, light their candles and then start passing the flame. It's breathtaking to see candles start lighting everywhere and the room is literally a glow with candlelight. We all sing the classic Christmas songs like Silent Night, and O Holy Night with our candles lit. It's truly a magical night. </div>

A super cute Christmas tradition that the Parnell side of the family does is girls afternoon out. Sharon, my mother-in-law, plans something fun for Kristen, my sister-in-law, and I to do. The first year we did this, Sharon took us to a Christmas tea. There was finger food, champagne, and yummy holiday spiced tea. There were also carolers singing while we sipped and nibbled. It was lovely. </div>

The the time, Sharon arranged for us to make ornaments out of glass. We were taught how to cut and shape glass to create ornaments to our liking. We left the ornaments there and they put them in the oven to let the glass meld together. I made a penguin and gave it to my mom for Christmas. It was a blast! I'm so excited to see what we're going to do this year! </div>

A Parnell family tradition is "the lineup". </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
The morning of Christmas, everyone goes upstairs (you're not allowed to look at the tree) </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
and lines up according to age. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Then we all march downstairs and take our first look at the tree and all the presents underneath. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
It's such a fun thing to do, especially with my two little nephews, Jacob and Josh. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
The anticipation of seeing the tree only contributes to their excitement. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
It's contagious! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Here's a picture of the lineup from our last Christmas all together as a family:</div>

Every year, my dad, stepmom, sister. hubby, and me all decorate the same tree that Jayne and I have had our whole lives. It's a Charlie Brown sort of tree, that has definitely seen better days, but we all love it more and more as the years go by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I've even got some ornaments on that tree that I made when I was in kindergarten! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Part of that tree tradition is this:</div>

It probably sounds like an odd combo, but it's actually delicious and something I look forward to all month long. We eat while taking turns putting up the ornaments with Gloria Estefan, Michael McDonald, and Nsync Christmas music playing in the background </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
(God bless my dad for including Nsync in his timeless musical taste! If he had it his way they'd be left out.)</div>

Oregon - the land of Christmas tree farms! The day after Thanksgiving, we head out to </div>

one of the billion tree lots they set up and pick the perfect tree. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
After some wrangling, we strap it on our little car and head home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
I put on some Christmas tunes, make hot chocolate, and the Christmas tree decorating commences. </div>

Let's just come out with it already: I am a freak when it comes to the Christmas season. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I turn into a giddy five year old, getting excited for the tree, the music, the movies, the hot beverages...<b>all things Christmas</b>. In honor of this quirky side of me, I thought I would do a countdown to Christmas featuring a staple of Christmas in the Parnell household. Granted, this is only our 4th Christmas together so we're still making Christmas traditions, but I think we've established some pretty awesome ones so far. The first being this little beauty right here:</div>

Now, this is more <i>my</i> tradition than Eric's. He in fact hates this CD with his entire being. However, since he loves me so much, he tolerates it. Starting Thanksgiving evening, this bad boy goes right into the Christmas playlist. It brings back so many good memories of being a teeny bopper convinced I was the future Mrs. Timberlake (I'm really glad that didn't happen by the way) and being so excited for Christmas I could hardly stand it. </div>
