<br />
It's been two years since I've posted anything.<br />
<br />
I don't know what happened. Well actually I do. I didn't have internet access at my house for 2 whole years. And that kind of hinders ones ability to blog.<br />
<br />
But I have internet again! And life's different and it's scary and everyday is a big fat how'd I get here? What brought me to this point? Where will I go now?<br />
<br />
I think I'd like to try this blogging thing out again. I miss having a creative outlet of some sort. To put pen to paper (finger to keyboard) is something I kind of miss. To write down how I'm feeling. I've never been great at expressing my emotions verbally (I cry) and God knows that I need to get some of this stuff out. To just kind of sort through...to clean out, get rid of, and file away and to make room for the new.<br />
<br />
So here I am. 28 years old. Basically starting over.<br />
<br />
2014 has been a hard year. 2013 was a hard year.<br />
<br />
And here's to more. Because I'll be damned if I let this get the best of me.<br />
<br />
"Because now that it's finally morning, the shadows are beginning to fade. The shadows that have been covering my mind and soul. Now that they're gone, I can almost start to see the way, and it's different from the one they'd convinced me was all I could have."<br />
<br />

Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving!! I sure did.... I stuffed myself silly! At least I ran a 5K in the morning to counteract the amount of food that was consumed. I think I still gained at least 3 pounds though. It was worth it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to admit that I already got a start on Christmas! I ordered my cards on Shutterfly and I couldn't be happier with them! They gave me a code so I could post it on here and I get $10 dollars off my next order so I figured might as well share! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also survived my first black friday experience. And it was nothing like you see on TV. I just went to Target this morning at 9am and it was packed at all! It was actually quite enjoyable. I sipped on a coffee and got a few things checked off my list. To be honest though, I snagged a few good deals for myself. I couldn't help it! =) </div>

<i>Going through my drafts. I opened this one up that I wrote almost a year ago in December. I have no memory of writing it, what it's about, or even who. But I liked it. I'm posting it now for others to read. Thanks for indulging me in my random blog updates. =) </i><br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to tell a story. If not for your pleasure then for my memory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I was pmsing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting mad at someone that didn't necessarily do anything wrong but in my eyes they were just being annoying. I was being super stubborn about the situation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anthony was around for the whole exchange.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He called me on my shit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got mad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then he came back to me and said... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"you know i think one of your best qualities is that you <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i><b>live and let live</b></i></span>.." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He went on to say that he admires this in me and it makes him try to do this as well and not be judgemental. I can honestly say that he made my attitude change right away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He thinks this of me. We have been together for 5 years and he has never said those words to me. It was a really awesome feeling to hear the person that you love say kind words to you about you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just want to remember this. That someone thinks this of me. So when I start being judgy about something and I can reflect and know that someone looks up to me and that I should change my attitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Anthony for reminding me to act more like myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, wouldn't that be a cool tattoo? Live and Let Live. I like it. </div>

Four years ago I wrote my first blog post. (CRAZY)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After California voted YES on Prop 8. After Barack Obama become our 43rd president. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here we are again. After all is said and done. Obama is still our president and I couldn't be happier with that! I know where he stands with a lot of the issues that matter most to me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for equality and marriage rights.. Other states last night voted and approved those rights! Progress!! It's awesome to see us moving FORWARD. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope we can all come together. Because this is our America. We make it what it is... together. </div>
<br />

Hi. Hello. Hola?! Anyone still there?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have neglected my poor little blog for over 4 months now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just hasn't been a priority to journal. With the lack of internet at my house, (cost an arm and leg to get it where I live now) the only time I get to blog is when I go to coffee shops after work or on the weekends. And to be honest, I have been LAZY. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still check my google reader daily to read all of my favorite blogs.... but that's it. =)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought today was as good as any day to try and start back up. =) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's start with a photo recap of the last few months...</div>

We did Vegas right. After having no sleep Friday night we stayed up for all of Saturday. We relaxed by the pool, in our huge suite, and then suited up to go out on the town. We didn't go to bed until 3:30am on Sunday morning. We stayed up for almost 2 days straight.<br /><br />Sunday Morning we got up and had mimosa brunch. lounged by the pool some more. Got pretty again.<br /><br />Sunday night we had dinner at Serendipity. Tried the famous frozen hot chocolate. It was also my birthday on Monday so I got to celebrate my birthday Sunday night. Sunday night was wild. But as they say, "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". We went to bed at 5 am Monday morning. Then flew home that same day. It was a crazy fun adventure.<br /><br /><br />I have more to September but the pictures aren't uploaded yet. It will have to be saved for another day. I'm just glad that I got to share some of my adventures for the summer on the blog before I forget about them.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br /></span></td></tr>

One of my best friends is getting married this October. I'm super excited to be apart of her big day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a fun time trying to pick out bridesmaids dresses as well. Lots of pictures back and forth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish we could just go to Macy's or Nordstrom and pick a dress since we would be more likely to wear it again. The hard part with that is finding the dress in all of our sizes in different Macy's in California. I guess that's the good part about Davids Bridal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We still haven't decided on the dress but here are a few of the ones we tried on. =) </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><br />
I just stumbled across this quote. I feel like it's speaking volumes to me right now.<br />
<br />
I have recently watched the new show called The Conversation. It's really good. The woman are open and honest. It's refreshing to hear celebrities talk so openly about life.<br />

This weekend was glorious! It was the first taste of summer and it had me wanting more! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday: After work Anthony and I went to sushi. We have been craving it but sadly we couldn't go to our favorite place because they were closed. Sushi Q in Nevada city is still a nice treat. After, we strolled around with an ice cream cone. There is the cutest ice cream shop in Nevada City called Treats. Anthony tried their basil ice cream! Different but surprisingly good! I stuck with the bing cherry. Yum! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday: I spent most of the day running errands in town. Stopped for a smoothie with Anthony. Then spent the afternoon at an open house at a local flower shop. My moms Relay for Life team hosted it. There were snacks and sangria which is my absolute favorite summer drink. It was a successful event! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later that night, Anthony and I tried a new mexican restaurant and was pleased to find out it was very authentic! We will definitely go back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday: another day of sunshine. Started the day off with a little walk with a cup of joe. Did some cleaning, went to the laundry mat, and I had a relay for life meeting to go to that evening. We had it at a local brewery so that was nice. Sipped on a few brews while making Relay for Life plans and goals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All and all it was a fantastic weekend. I hope the cold front coming in passes by quickly so we can get more of this weather. Come on summer! =) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
(please excuse the lack of order in my pictures... I'm using the blogger app on my phone and for some reason it doesn't keep the pictures in order....soooo annoying!) </div>

I have been horrible about updating everything (besides Instagram because I'm addicted). I didn't even get these pictures on Facebook yet (omg!!! Lol). <br />
<br />
I seriously really liked this city. I think I could fit in nicely there. I also think I could get use to the rain as well? We will see what happens... <br />

<br />
It was a stressful and tiring weekend thanks to the rain! <br />
<br />
But I'm thankful to my mom who helped me scrub down my house which means I will probably get most of my deposit back (and will definitely have to take her to dinner with). <br />
<br />
Now it's time to set up the new house and listen to the crickets. Seriously though, it's so quiet out there! Haha <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3iaRmRX-Z5I/T32wF6lJtoI/AAAAAAAABrI/yyvzU4AuDAw/s640/blogger-image-706138129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3iaRmRX-Z5I/T32wF6lJtoI/AAAAAAAABrI/yyvzU4AuDAw/s640/blogger-image-706138129.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ezLv820ZcMg/T32wGkZchcI/AAAAAAAABrQ/Q0p2AW8wQZI/s640/blogger-image-1739736161.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ezLv820ZcMg/T32wGkZchcI/AAAAAAAABrQ/Q0p2AW8wQZI/s640/blogger-image-1739736161.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-53WkbdufY60/T32wHbDl9HI/AAAAAAAABrY/ACvCjLGvaG0/s640/blogger-image-565044672.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-53WkbdufY60/T32wHbDl9HI/AAAAAAAABrY/ACvCjLGvaG0/s640/blogger-image-565044672.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3oRgfQZE9xk/T32wIi7rhbI/AAAAAAAABrg/25nvlaI5eUc/s640/blogger-image--1324136147.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3oRgfQZE9xk/T32wIi7rhbI/AAAAAAAABrg/25nvlaI5eUc/s640/blogger-image--1324136147.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-p7SAMZ1s-mE/T32wLg_0vsI/AAAAAAAABro/-aJLA37zbOQ/s640/blogger-image-1114461392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-p7SAMZ1s-mE/T32wLg_0vsI/AAAAAAAABro/-aJLA37zbOQ/s640/blogger-image-1114461392.jpg" /></a></div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10402306389256756861noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432150276130887757.post-27387978421724002542012-03-23T07:41:00.001-07:002012-03-23T07:41:28.585-07:00FridayHappy Friday!! <br />
<br />
I found this picture of my little sister and I while packing. I don't if I have mentioned before but I'm moving. Blah! Isn't moving the worst? Especially when you are moving out to the sticks....oh the things you do for people you love. <br />
<br />

We had such an awesome time in Portland!! What a lovely city. I could see myself living there. It's such a combination of San Francisco and my hometown of Nevada City. The people are friendly and as far as cities go it seemed like it was affordable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus coming from California the land of taxes, it was nice getting a break from paying sales tax for the weekend. Haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a glimpse at all the food that was consumed. Yum...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to <a href="http://stumptowncoffee.com/">Stumptown</a> a couple times, checked out the famous <a href="http://voodoodoughnut.com/about.php">Voodoo</a> doughnuts, ate a delicious breakfast at <a href="http://tastynsons.com/">Tasty n Sons</a>, washed down a great dinner with the best drinks at <a href="http://www.saucebox.com/">Saucebox</a>, tried a few brews at <a href="http://www.bridgeportbrew.com/">Bridgeport</a> brewery, had dessert at <a href="http://www.moonstruckchocolate.com/">Moonstruck</a> chocolate cafe, and checked out a fair share of street food. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!! </div>

We will also be celebrating his 24 birthday (what a youngster!). <br />
<br />
Really looking forward to exploring stumptown and of course drinking lots of coffee and microbrews! <br />
<br />
I have been to Portland once before when I was about 10 or 11. I remember really liking Portland and thinking it was a beautiful city. Can't wait to rediscover it! <br />
<br />
Please if you have any recommendations on things to eat, see, or do.... Please let me know!! :) <br />
<br />
Now the question is should I remember to being these thick rimmed glasses with me?? LOL<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s9cxOVez1mc/T1eApsG17cI/AAAAAAAABf4/IES6Q6wq67Y/s640/blogger-image-1810155179.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s9cxOVez1mc/T1eApsG17cI/AAAAAAAABf4/IES6Q6wq67Y/s640/blogger-image-1810155179.jpg" /></a></div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10402306389256756861noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432150276130887757.post-44123079165723989282012-02-29T07:20:00.001-08:002012-02-29T07:47:13.595-08:00Extra day!Today on the extra day of the year we got our first real taste of winter. It's about time! I love the first pretty storm of the year. Where I live we usually get a couple good snow storms a season. <br />
<br />
Wasn't sure if we would see any snow this year with the unseasonably warm weather we have had. Thankful that it finally came! =) <br />
<br />
Does anyone do anything special for this day that comes once every 4 years? I don't normally. <br />
I should change that! <br />
<br />
Hope you all enjoy today! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-h9oKIMgadv4/T05CL6wDMMI/AAAAAAAABfg/IhVNdITHdPc/s640/blogger-image--1714983903.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-h9oKIMgadv4/T05CL6wDMMI/AAAAAAAABfg/IhVNdITHdPc/s640/blogger-image--1714983903.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vumMFNTGjFE/T05CMuB7HNI/AAAAAAAABfo/ewEihqYaluQ/s640/blogger-image-474542979.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vumMFNTGjFE/T05CMuB7HNI/AAAAAAAABfo/ewEihqYaluQ/s640/blogger-image-474542979.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-TUPbbyqWUHM/T05CNIne3tI/AAAAAAAABfw/rg6XuAMzD5k/s640/blogger-image-518722331.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-TUPbbyqWUHM/T05CNIne3tI/AAAAAAAABfw/rg6XuAMzD5k/s640/blogger-image-518722331.jpg" /></a></div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10402306389256756861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432150276130887757.post-19486839347234444932012-02-24T10:14:00.001-08:002012-02-24T10:14:57.543-08:00Mardi Gras.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made an apple crisp last night for dessert. Sometimes i just get that urge to whip something up! Luckily i had all the ingredients on hand. =) And it was the perfect dessert for a cool (notice how i didn't say cold because it hasn't been at all) winter night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3-4 apples, sliced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3/4 cup packed brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup flour<br />1/2 cup quick cook oats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/3 cup butter, softened</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 tablespoon nutmeg</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
big handful of chopped pecans</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
combine all the ingredients and pour over the apples.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bake @ 375 for 30-35 minutes until golden and the apples are soft.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi, Friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sad to say that since I got my iphone I haven't pulled out my real camera. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's actually depressing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />I love my iphone but there is something about taking out a real camera and focusing on the subject with a twist of the lens. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With that said, I pledge to myself to put the darn phone down and take some pictures with a real camera. I will start this coming weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm headed down to Southern California on Thursday to visit my sister and friends. I'm really looking forward to getting away for the weekend! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been feeling a bit blue the past week or so. Not sure what's up but I think this might be the trick to pull me back...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Disneyland, good food, beach time, 75 degree weather, etc...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />Bring it on!!! =) </div>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10402306389256756861noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432150276130887757.post-61313363751321426562012-01-12T11:12:00.000-08:002012-01-12T11:12:21.747-08:00to be brave.<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been thinking about my goals for 2012 a lot lately. I'm not big on the new year resolution but there is definitely something to starting new and fresh...and making some changes in ones life. With that said, I figured out something that I really want to change in myself.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I want to stop being afraid! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm afraid of so many things... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to live my life and not be so afraid to fail...afraid to speak up...afraid to go after the things I want. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm 25 freaking years old...It's time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like my life. It's comfortable. In all aspects.... I have a good job, a wonderful boyfriend, I'm able to do fun things....I'm very content. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't want to be content. I want to discover myself and the things I'm good at and I feel the thing holding me back from this self adventure is that I'm afraid. It's kind of a strange feeling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure I'm not alone. A big part of my fear is that I'm shy. Always have been. I'm an introvert and I like to observe others but it's time to break out! =) I found this <a href="http://thinksimplenow.com/happiness/20-ways-to-attack-shyness/">article</a> while browsing the web...some good tips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So there it is. My main goal for 2012 is to be less afraid, more outgoing, less shy, and to discover my passions in this little life of mine. I'm going to be BRAVE (my definition of that anyway).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also I want to:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-travel more ( will get into more details later) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-save money</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-learn my camera more and take more pictures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-be nicer to those i'm closest to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-drink more water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We had an awesome time we had in Reno bringing in 2012! What a year 2011 was that 2012 better step it up to compete. We started off the night with a big group dinner at a sushi restaurant, then went downtown to watch the fireworks at midnight, then to my cousins boyfriends house for a house party. </div>

It's here again.. a new year! They say when you get older the years go by faster and faster.. and I'm going to have to agree. 2011 went by fast!! I would say that it was the year that I first felt grown up. Sure I have been paying my own bills for awhile now but there was just something about turning 25 that made it seem so real. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Take a journey with me as I look back at my year. =) </div>

<u>January:</u> Started off the <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/01/nye.html">new year</a> with good people and a fun night. Then a few days later my friend, Leslie and I<a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/01/orange-county-and-beyond.html"> drove down to Orange County</a> to spend a few days with my sister, Erica. As soon as I got home I came down with the worst cold of the year. Then a couple days later my darn hard drive crashed.... that was fun...NOT! All in all, i would say it was a good way to kick off the new year.</div>

February: For being short month I sure did a lot. I went to <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/03/nashvegas.html">Nashville</a>, TN for the first time. My friend asked if I wanted to go so I said yes without giving it much thought! My sister and her boyfriend came up from LA for a visit. We had super warm weather followed by a huge snow storm the next week. I also spend the weekend in the bay area with my friend Leslie. We saw Avenue Q in SF and hung out in the east bay.</div>

<u>March:</u> We celebrated Anthony's 23rd birthday with a big party at our place. We also went up to Weaverville for a cousins wedding. I traveled to SF with a co-worker to see Rock of Ages the broadway musical. Also had a fun girls night, several date nights, and most exciting we booked our flight for Costa Rica!!</div>

<u>May:</u> The month started off with a<a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/05/scary-stuff.html"> scary doctors </a>appointment that ended up being <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/05/b9.html">fine</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took family pictures and I saw Zack Brown Band in concert. This month was one of my favorites because Anthony and I went to <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/06/la-playa.html">COSTA</a> <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/06/weeee.html">RICA</a><a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/06/its-5-oclock-somewhere.html">!!!</a> When we got back from Costa Rica we met up with my sister and her boyfriend in <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/06/that-one-time.html">San Francisco!</a> Anthony and I had an awesome vacation! It was tough to come back to the real world.</div>

<u>JUNE:</u> Kicked off summer on a high note! First weekend in June was cold and miserable though and also this years Relay for Life. The weather finally took a turn and I got to spend time at a friends house sunbathing. We might have had a whole pitcher of Sangria. There was a few family <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/06/2-0-1-1.html">graduations</a>. We also attended a fun event called the <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/06/summer-solstice.html">Solstice</a>. A friend also hosted a themed party; <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/06/weekend-roundup.html">Hillbilly front porch</a> party! What a blast that was! =) Also got to spend some time out on the lake. =) </div>

<u>July:</u> I got to attend a long time friends wedding before the 4th. It was lovely. I was having such a good summer but something had to bring me down to reality. I lost my <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/07/rip.html">grandma</a> right after the 4th of July. It was hard. I have lost 3 grandparents in that last 2 years. =( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I celebrated a friends birthday by going out to a fun dance club in Sacramento then spending the weekend on her families houseboat. Talk about a good time!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anthony and I also went to Reno for my aunt and uncles luau party! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also took a fun road trip down to So Cal to visit my Sis. (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">go back to july to look at the post...too many to link) </span>That was the best time and one to remember! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm still not done....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also spent another weekend on a houseboat with Anthony's family. Lots of summer nights were spent walking around the farmers markets. And just really enjoying the season and taking in what my sweet town has to offer. I feel like I could keep going on about July! It was a good month besides the loss of my sweet grandma. RIP.</div>

<u>August:</u> I believe August started off with going to the Eric Church <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/08/barefoot-blue-jean-night.html">concert </a>with a group of friends. The following week was the annual <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/08/county-fair.html">Nevada County fair</a>! Went to Downieville for the weekend for our annual family time. My grandpa likes to rent out a cabin and have us all enjoy it. This year he didn't get to stay because he had a minor stroke which was a real bummer. Anthony and I also went to a Rivercats game with Ken and Lacie. Many of the afternoons after i got off work were spent down at the River. This past August was a hot one!! The month ended with the Brew Fest! Basically 3 hours to try as many beers as possible. I can say that I didn't feel too good the next day. haha! </div>

<u>September:</u> It's my <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/09/25.html">birthday</a> month!! And I decided a few months prior that I was going to <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/10/viva-las-vegas.html">Las Vegas</a> for my 25th birthday! It felt appropriate! But first we celebrated labor day weekend in Reno with the family since it's a tradition! Then 2 weeks later a group of my friends flew down to <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/10/viva-las-vegas.html">Vegas</a> for a long weekend! And boy was it.... we had a good time for the most part. Some drama, a few disagreements, but that's normal... especially when booze is involved. As soon as I got back I pretty much turned right back around to the airport. I flew down to Orange county for a Relay For Life event. It was awesome, motivational, and exciting! Definitely something to remember! </div>

<u>October:</u> For my birthday Anthony got me tickets to two concerts for him and I to go to, Blink 182 and Incubus! What awesome shows! We had a date with my sister and her boyfriend at the pumpkin patch. And Anthony and I celebrated <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/10/5-years.html">5 years</a> of coupleness. We celebrated in <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/10/food-fool.html">San Francisco.</a> What a perfect weekend. Ended the month with a fun halloween party and then going to Reno for the <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/10/halloween.html">Zombie Crawl</a>! </div>

November: I think November was low key. There was the day i took a drive to look at the lovely <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/11/here-we-are-again.html">fall</a> colors, went to a friends <a href="http://ashleykosher.blogspot.com/2011/11/weekend-roundup.html">wedding</a> which was beautiful, went to my sisters house warming party, had a busy and full Thanksgiving, hung out with all the family, and just really enjoyed the slower days of fall. </div>

December: And here we are.... Christmas Tree hunt, Santa crawl, Christmas lights, family dinners, christmas music, baking cookies, my parents new puppy, seeing most of the family throughout the month, and enjoying every last day of 2011. My last day of 2011 will be spent in Reno bringing in the new year with my cousins, Anthony, and friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a incredible year. I'm thankful for all the fun times I have had this past year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm thankful for the things that aren't on my blog like my weekly lunch with coworkers, having a job, shopping with my mom, visiting with my sister, reading in bed with Anthony, random dinners at mine and anthonys families houses, movie nights with friends, random friday nights at the bar, and this list could seriously go on and on. I wish I could remember every detail of this year but I will live through the picture I do have and the things that stood out above the rest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope 2011 was a good year for everyone... with the bad, the heartache, happiness, joy, laughter, and tears. Wishing a fond farewell and welcoming a new year! </div>

Mine and Anthony's tradition since we have been living together is to lay in bed before getting up on Christmas morning and sing a couple Christmas carols. This year we tried but I kind of have a cold so my throat wasn't having it. Instead we just got up and cuddled up on the couch and opened gifts from each other.</div>

Anthony ALWAYS spoils me. I get him a lot as well but he always out does me. What girl doesn't like that though?</div>

After we were done, we got ready and headed over to his parents house. We opened gifts with his sisters and had a lovely Christmas breakfast. After a few hours we headed over to my aunts house. My dad and step mom were there along with a bunch of cousins, my sis, uncle and step sister too. We snacked and visited. We then opened up gifts. Its always takes a few hours for this activity because we all go one at a time to really show of our presents. </div>

Later, Anthony and I continued on to his grandmas house for Christmas dinner. We had a nice time visiting with more of his family. After dessert, we played a large game of Apples to Apples. </div>
