fill in the blank friday...

1.   One of my favorite things to do when I have free time is     sleeping, watch a movie, or hang out with my friends   .

2.   When I have free time I tend to    be more lazy than motivated. Waste my time on pinterest, facebook, and blogging.

3.  If I had an entire day completely to myself I would    (if I'm not too lazy)- start off my morning with Starbucks, then would go out on a bike ride, and rest of the day would probably find me vegetable out or out with my amazing friends!

4.  I would prefer to spend my free time (alone or with others...)    a little bit of both. I love doing things with friends and family, but I also need alone time to catch up on myself. - even if it's just running boring errands    .

5.  Most of my free time happens    on the weekend or nights only if I'm not schedule to do anything (I.e working, babysitting, appointments, or booked to go on a date with a friend)  .

6.  The best thing about free time is    that you can relax and have free minded (depends- ha) .

7.  The next time I have free time I should probably   do things that I kept on procrastinate with  .


My Friday went great- hang out with Shawlee a new guy I met and sorta of got my eyes on! Heetee. Hope you had a great Friday!

Party 2011 Away...

You gotta be kidding me it's already 2012!! Did I just sleep through the whole year of 2011?! Guess not because I had a great time partying away 2011 with my Omaha buddies. They are so much fun to party with and have good time!

We had lots of food, loud music, funny comments, foosball tournament and played Battles of Sexes game. It was a great time!

Here are some pictures from the night....

  Hope you all had a great NYE and wish you the best for 2012!! <><

Christmas in Nebraska

Christmas here in Nebraska went great and very relaxing! Seeing ALL my family once again was the best part about Christmas. I was able to catch up on all my hugs and kisses with my little cousins especially for the littlest one Sydney. She makes me laugh and I just love her to pieces. I pretty much stayed with my parents for the week after Christmas, till Tues Jan 3 my little sister and I headed back to Lincoln to stay at her place till I fly back to the East coast next week.

Had three Christmas to go to, My grandpa's side of family (Whole Hoppe clan), my dad's side of family (Haselhorst), and then my mom's family on Sunday on New Years Day. We all had a good time catching up on family news and playing games together. 
  
Anyways, I got all that what I asked for- Thanks "Santa"! (Most fav is my new Husker warm up jacket). However, one thing was missing on my list was a White Christmas, we had no snow at all- Boophooey!

Posted some good pics from Christmas...

Week at Copper...

Sorry for the lack of posting over my vacation at Copper Mountain, after the first day it got super busy and too much relaxing in between. The first 3 days were terrible just so much as my previous post, lot of crud and not as good it was supposed to be. 

On Tuesday night we spent our night in Breckenridge shopping around and ate at Eric's a yummy local bar/restaurant. Wednesday night we went to Japanese restaurant at Copper Village, it wasn't too great for sushi as we thought it would be. Thursday night we dine at the condo which was the most Delicious ribs I ever had!

On Wednesday night and morning we finally had chuck of snow on the mountain, it was little difficult for me to ski at first since was used to curds and thin snow. I kept on falling and falling then finally afternoon runs were much better! It was same for Thursday morning runs had no fall and switched to different type of skis in the afternoon. 

 Friday we headed back up northeast to Nebraska and dropped off the boyfriend at Denver airport back to California to his hometown to have Christmas with his family. 

Lets pray and hope the next time we come back to Copper it would be MUCH better on the slopes to ski/board on!


Here are the photos- Enjoy!

From Copper

Copper Day 1...

Weather: Sunny/ 43*

Ski Lifts Open: 14 out of 22

Trials open: 52 out of 135

Our morning runs went well with plenty groomed snows, which made our skiing/boarding much easier. 

Afternoon runs were terrible!!! Since it was sunny and warm snow had melt then became curd snow (not slushy but ICY!) It was pretty tough to ski on. I did slipped on a crud, slide down the hill for good minute without stopping- it was scary and crazy! It was kinda embrassaing because it was right by the lifts and whoever were on the lifts saw the WHOLE thing! Too bad I cannot hear what they would say, bummers! But my boyfriend and others saw it, i was practically going into the woods or off orange boundries. Snow was all over my face, gloves, and even inside my coat and pants- ugh. I did laugh afterwards, result of this accident is headache and SORE neck. Haha After that run did another run and said "lets called it a day"! 

As for Vincent, was very impressed that he is a fast boarder which I do not have to worry about teach or wait for him down the slope. We both go at the same pace. He did fell few times not as much I did haha. He is really enjoying his time, tho!

Lets see what tomorrow have in storage for us even it said it likely to snow- WHOOT!

Picture of the Day: (GRR I left behind my camera cord in Rochy- "sobbs")

However. found a picture that pretty much of looked like when i was slick down the hill on crud snow

Arriving Copper...

Ahh... Vincent and I finally made it to Denver after missing our first flight due to our ride not show up. We were on standby at first but Thank God they got us a seat to Chicago to our connection to Denver (the earliest out as possible).

Our first flight was well, we grab some yummy Gourmet popcorn at our layover in Chicago and relaxed till our next connection. 


Second flight was interesting, because I was assigned to sit in first class seats while the boyfriend had to sit way in the back of the plane. I totally felt bad that he didn't get the chance, even we tried to get him pushed up. Had nice "snack or dinner" and some drinks, however realized first class is not my thing! Anyways, yes we made it to Denver by 5:30pm several hours later from our original flight (1:30pm). 

While in Denver we made few stops before heading to Copper Mountain. Arrived to our family condo and pretty much hit the sack since we both were exhausted from traveling and stressful morning. 

Now looking forward to skiing in the morning! I can't believe how much I miss the Mountains. God's amazing by bring us both "safe and sound" to Copper. <><

Late Friday Fillin Blanks...

Oops a little late!

Let's celebrate by filling in some blanks!

with Lauren

1.   The holiday season is     exciting! It's full of family, friends, love, thankfulness and the Lord!

2.   Snow makes me   dying to hit the slopes!

3.  The best comfort food to eat when it's cold out is    soup and warm bread!

4. Winter is the best time for    being buried under cozy blankets and being cuddled   .

5.  I can hardly wait for    ski trip to family's condo at Copper Mountain, CO and be the first trip with the boyfriend!

6.  When it comes to holiday gifts I prefer to    give what will touch their heart and see big smile on their faces.

7.  If I were to rate my excitement about the holiday season on a scale from 1-10, I would say I am at about a    10 because its time of the year I fly home to see my family and friends- Miss them dearly!!

Birthday Weekend

My birthday weekend went well. I worked from 9am to 5pm then the boyfriend had flew back into town from his home visit for Thanksgiving holiday. He and I just relaxed at the place where I was house sitting... look what had done!

Went to church in the morning together... God's so good to provide me a Christian boyfriend- who would go to church with me! <><

What a great weekend I had, thanks to the boyfriend for making it fun and relaxing. Now gotta see what 24 year old has in store for me! <><

Gotta Love Etsy!

Oh how I love this site!! I've found so many clothes I have been looking for so long! Am so into hippie/ down to earth style clothes lately. For instance, I've always wanted this grape purple color skirt made with cozy light fabric that I am able to touch! I am so sensitive with certain fabric for some reason, so it has been little challenging for me to find right skirt or clothes. However, this site totally made my day!! 


Here is my wish list....

AHH THE WINNER!!!

Can be Halter Strapless Dress or Skirt- LOVE LOVE this!

Material - 95% cotton and 5% lycra- CUTE!!

Love the color and style!

look comforty!

For sure will look into this for my wedding!!!

Can make your very own custom design. I would want to say  either "Follow Jesus" or   "Don't Worry be Happy" or "Jeremiah 29:11"

Gotta check out the site, so much neat handmade clothes and etc to shop for. :-) 

Beat the Hawkeyes...

 *Myself getting ready for the game!*

Super proud of the Huskers for beating our number One rivalry team Iowa Hawkeyes. I ending up watching the game alone since my friends backed out, what a bummer but Cody the dog had enjoy hearing me yelling and making noises. Glad they pick up their game and won after a huge loss vs Mich last weekend. Good Job Huskers!

Neb: 20
Iowa: 7
