Everyone is waiting for the timing to be right. And we hope it's coming soon.

post title lyrics from this lovely song. 

10 little Hannah things, v. I

(idea stolen from this cute blogger with the weirdest love story. go read it here)

1. The Bachelor Club
I started watching The Bachelor with Katie and her adorable married friends on Monday nights and it's been the best time of my life. I actually really think the show is stupid and pointless, but there's just something about watching a show about catty girls with other girls that's just super fun. We have our favorites and not so favorites and it's a blast talking through the whole show and eating delicious treats.
2. Best friends. Do I really need to expound on this? I seriously have the best friends in the entire universe and I love love love that I see them on a daily/weekly basis.  I think I'll just write a whole post dedicated just to them later this week. (Katie, this is me publicly thanking you for cleaning my room as a pre-birthday treat. SOML)
3. Infatuation. I don't typically write about my love life on this here blog because I believe if you desire to know such things,  then you ought to be at the level of face to face contact with me. Don't want any stalkers knowing more than they need to. But guys! I currently have the biggest crush I've ever had on a male person. And I also never exaggerate. He's the cutest. End of story.
4. BYU gift wrapping. Sometimes I want to spend at least $5 at the BYU bookstore just for the free gift wrapping. They always do such an amazing job and maybe I'm obsessed with beautifully wrapped presents. OBSESSED.

Me and Amanda with Cutest Birthday Present Ever, wrapped so lovingly by a BYU employee.  Please note that we are just basking in the sun like it's a perfect summer's day in the middle of January. 

5. Snow. Speaking of summer weather, I know that most everyone hates you and was so happy you took so long to appear, but I've been dying to see you all winter. I really appreciate all 4 distinct seasons, so I was getting kinda sad without you. You're definitely the worst to drive in, but so pretty to look at. Just please don't let me get in a slippery wreck like these guys.
6. Eva baby. She's Katie's offspring.  She's basically my goddaughter/niece. I love her. And we make twinsie faces when I babysit her. So duh, she's part of the list.

Scrunched eyebrow twinsies

7. Crafternoons. I suddenly have the urge to be more crafty this year. Stay tuned for more pictures and updates on this monthly goal.

Facebook repeat. How could I not? Look at that face. 

8. Crush. Did I already mention that boy I like? K. Cool.
9. Gold's Gym Body Challenge. Signed up for it. Got a new personal trainer. Eating more salad and carrots like it's my job. Be a little jealous. Or don't. But definitely try kickboxing because it might change your world.  (but just for the record, Treat Yo Self is my motto for the year, and so I'm def not passing up on white chocolate popcorn or Slab dinners every once and awhile)
10. And oh yeah, my Birthday. I'm 23 today, peeps. Get used to it.  Gonna make it my best year yet.

Golden Birthday Post for my Bobby Andrew

And right as I posted my news flash, I noticed the date and couldn't end this day without publicly wishing my baby brother a happy birthday on this blog.

Blast from the past: Bob and I at my High School Graduation, May 2007

You are the absolute cutest kid in this world. Thanks for being so hilarious your whole life, Juju bee. This family would not be complete without you! And thanks for letting us call you whatever nick name comes to our minds at the time. Please tell me that this isn't actually your 14th birthday cuz I'd really love it if you could magically stay 5 years old forever.

So you were wondering what I want for my birthday?

I'm turning 22 in two weeks from today! I love birthdays and of course I'm celebrating mine all month because I can and should. And it's a good thing people still mistake me for a high schooler, otherwise I might be sick of aging. Blessing # 456 for being only 5'2 and ethnic.

For the 2.5 readers out there, here is my wish list of 10 items I'd like to own someday. Because this is more fun than reading about Technical Communication.

1) a new straightener! my Chi has called it quits these last few months and I'm ready to try something else
2) the Tangled soundtrack... because I'm ultra nerdy and quite enjoy most Disney soundtracks while I'm driving around town.. also, even though I truly dislike Mandy Moore I actually love these songs. A. LOT.
3) these TOMS in size 7.5... and if I could be completely honest right now I'd love to copy Amanda and get some of THESE!
4) Forever 21 necklaces, stud earrings, or headbands minus anything bejeweled or outrageously huge.. and if I'm still being completely honest I'd like to copy Amanda and own every kind of animal charm necklace or even this ... and maybe even be her for a day
5) a new Magic Bullet since mine decided to smell like burning rubber and shoot out black flakes
6) iTunes! iTunes! iTunes!
7) a new car that doesn't sound like it's killing a million hampsters every time I turn on the heat or turn a corner
8) knee high socks to wear under boots and keep my shin shins warm
9) the http://www.amazon.com/Life-Beautiful-Bella-Nicola-Piovani/dp/B00000DCES soundtrack or any combination of lovely Classical music found from my Pandora station
10) a gift card to anywhere. I saw a commercial over the break advertising a company that turns giftcards into cash for the ungrateful people of the world who just can't stand receiving a gift card. What the what? Who doesn't like free money in any form?
BONUS! 11) some form of art for the bare white walls in my new private room or private bathroom!

And just in case my momma decides to follow this blog after all, my favorite little snacks include: Hun Cal Lorna Doones, Pink Lemonade Crystal Light, Watermelon Sourpatch, Pudding singles, Orbit gum, Carbohydrates in any form.

But lets get real, people. I would be the happiest little Asian alive even if I only got my free Cold Stone coupon and balloons. Mabes some flowers too. And probs a cute Hallmark card that sings to me.

What? You don't believe I'm Asian? Exhibit A:
