To say last year had been interesting is a complete understatement. For me personally it was a beautiful rollercoaster of truly AMAZING things being apart of my life. For my family it was another story. It was literally one "bad" thing after the other. It breaks my heart thinking back on the things they had to go through. While I had this AMAZING year, they went through probably some of the roughest moments in theirs. As my heart has broken for them, I cannot not be happy over the year that I had. I know that sounds selfish, but EVERYTHING I experienced this year I WORKED hard for. I mean maybe some of the things landed in my lap, but nonetheless they HAPPENED.

Took my nonni for her first mani ped ever!!!! |

Said goodbye to an AMAZING co worker :( Jan 11 |

CELEBRATED MAX'S FIRST BIRTHDAY |
The first thing that happened was I started getting really into twitter. Telling the people I admired was truly an amazing feeling. I got my first reply from Khloe Kardashian. Someone I truly Admire, for her honesty & the way she lives her life.

Then in February I went to my first ever Giant's FANFEST. I got to go on the field & in the dugout, even in the locker room!!!! I am a HUGE SF GIANTS FAN so this was pretty amazing. I got to share this day with my dad & sister it was pretty great. I got to see my favorite players up close & personal. I think my highlight of that day was on my way to the elevator to go upstairs BRIAN WILSON literally opened the door for me. My hand was on the door, & he opened it. WE WERE LITERALLY FACE TO FACE. Oh course I was in shock & could not get my camera out fast enough, so I don't have proof. But it totally made me the HAPPIEST girl ever!!!!!!! There were different locations to line up to meet the players, so we decided to do the one in the locker room. As we were waiting we saw Runzler, Alfetdt, Burris, wilson again, & some others as well. We waited a couple hours & maybe 10 people left....they stopped & we didn't get to have the players sign our stuff....but it was overall a really good day.

GOT TO RIDE IN THIS SWEET RIDE ON THE WAY TO OUR STARTING POINT
So Sometime in either early march or so I Heard BRITNEY SPEARS was going to be doing her GMA performance in SAN FRANCISCO in the castro. My heart instantly skipped a beat & I started thinking of ways to attend. As soon as radio stations announced They were doing a contest I had to do whatever it was so that I could make this DREAM OF MINE COME TRUE. If Britney was coming to the bay, I had to be there. There were so many from two of my fave stations. So on somedays I literally just focused on winning & thought about it non stop. I called everyday....sometimes 3 or 4 times. For about 3 weeks & nothing. They were giving away VIP & I had to get it. I would not give up on this. So one contest was that you had to break something in exchange for VIP PASSES...I could not think on the spot so I said my my mom's vase (she doesn't even have one) they said not someone else's thing & so there went that idea. I kept calling, & trying & trying to win...still nothing. I even wrote to the Radio People on the twitter to try & win....It finally got to a point where I left my cell phone number...IT MADE SENSE at the time lol. So I got a voicemail from a radio guy from Wild 94.9 & I missed it...I was so bummed..I asked him to call back & he did. He & the other host came up with an idea of a way for me to win tickets. He had seen my writting to the competition on twitter & they wanted to know where my loyality lied. I said them of course, since they were giving me that AMAZING opportunity. They said will you do anything to see BRITNEY live....I said yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They told me what I had to do & I said yes!!!!!!!! I had to sing BRITNEY SONGS for 3 hours non stop & the passes were mine. I could not pass up this opportunity so I went for it. I got to the studio super early & waited until I had to start singing. I started singing & was kinda nervous because I was also being filmed & broadcasted on the internet as well. I didn't care how I sounded I just wanted to win these passes. I sang for 3 hours non stop. I was too afraid to stop....I was allowed to drink water & have bathroom breaks but I decided not to. When it came down to the Studio PR Person Alicia telling me if I passed or not....they tricked me & told me I didn't win them. I didn't believe them & said you're totally lying. They were & the passes were mine!!!!!!!!!! I HAD WON VIP PASSES TO SEE BRITNEY SPEARS AT HER GMA PERFORMANCE IN SF. My heart was so full with joy. I couldn't sleep the night before, so I was super excited!!!!! I met some really amazing BRIT fans in line. It was so nice to kill the time waiting in line with good company. As soon as we got in it all set in.......one of my dreams was coming true. I ended up being FIRST ROW & to this day I still CANNOT believe that REALLY happened. SO happy it did!!!!!!!! Probably one of the BIGGEST HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR :) |

I LATER SAID I WAS GUNNA BREAK THIS |

So on May 2nd I created an OTH dedicated twitter account. Some might find it weird or dumb...but to be honest it was a HUGE HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR. I started it when the show was talking about getting rid of the rivercourt...the characters were saying how much they'd miss this fictional place and it got me thinking. I didn't want to see it go either, so I made an account called RivercourtSML (SAVED MY LIFE). I started it as a way for fans to come together and talk about the show and a way to connect with other fans and a way to talk to the cast as well. I started off with just 40 followers.......8 months later I am at 1,800 followers!!!!! It still blows my mind. I have truly met some truly amazing people. People I talk to all the time. I think the best part is when people tell me, that some of my tweets inspired them, and got them through some rough parts....THAT MEANS EVERYTHING. To the people who don't get why I made this page, they don't understand how powerful the OTHFAMILY truly is. We are truly there for each other and it is truly a BEAUTIFUL THING <3
Then on May 7th my sister & I decided to spurge on pretty much BEHIND HOME PLATE SEATS. They were pretty pricey, but totally worth it. I got to see my boys REALLY close which was nice. Got to Watch Posey before he got hurt. It was a nice night with my sister. I cannot wait to see my GIANTS PLAY THIS YEAR ;)
|
PERFECTION |

LOVE THIS |

The following day, May 8th I did something I always wanted to do...............THROW A FIST FULL OF GLITTER in the air..and this is the picture I got <3
|
Do the things you want to do....NOW |
On May 17th, I attended a casting call in SF for Big Brother season 13. I've watched this show for 13 years now & its always been one of my favorite shows to watch. Its actually kind of me & my mom's show...we've watched it every single season....TOGETHER. Anyway I made a video & sent it in & then attended the Casting Call. I wanted it so bad. Unfortunately I did not get cast for the show obviously, but I knew I had what it took. The cast that they chose were a bunch of FLOATERS. If I would have been picked I would have fought my way to the end. I do not give up on things. I'm persistent & a go getter, & I tell it like it is. I'm the sweet girl who can hold her ground, & won't stop until I get where I want to go. I have that free spirit attitude & that edge the show was missing. I am so going to try again. I auditioned & took a risk, Just because I didn't make it on the show doesn't mean I failed, it just means next time might be THE TIME...it comes true. My intentions for the show were Completely selfless too. I mean I wasn't going to share that, but what the hell. That's what this blog is all about. I wanted to win the money for OTHER PEOPLE...yes you read that RIGHT. I wanted (WANT) to win that money for an organization that is Dear to my heart. The bonnie Addario Lung Cancer Foundation, in honor of Jill. Half of the money would go to that & the rest would go to MY PARENTS (FOR EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE OVER THE YEARS) and the rest would go to PAYING IT FORWARD TO PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY. So now the cat's out of the bag, and my intentions are 100% honest & true & so here's to making it on this season :)
|
my application lol |
So then on May 28th I got my first DM from the man who had been my FAVORITE actor since I was ten!!!! This literally made my day.........since then I've gotten quite a few from him...the number doesn't really matter...but it was quite a LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
CHAD IS LOVE |
Then on memorial day I went to the National Cemetery to Honor my Grandfather Thomas. I never got to meet him, but I am told I am a LOT like him which I think is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! This was on May 30th :)
Then on June 5th I donated blood for like the 100000th time in my life. But this was the only time, I did it in 2011. Its really so easy to do. You SAVE 3 LIVES when you DONATE. So get over your fear & donate & SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On June 12th we painted our front door red...My parents loved the color & were all for it. They later found out I pushed for red for a rather different reason, they just thought it looked nice... but it was actually from my favorite tv show ONE TREE HILL. My favorite character BROOKE DAVIS had a red door & in the show it had/has HUGE significance....so I wanted that too. SO NOW I'M..............
|
THE GIRL BEHIND THE RED DOOR TOO :) |
So Britney Spears was coming back to the bay for her Femme Fatale Tour & I had just seen her in March In the front row, so I told myself "oh you don't need to go, you just saw her" so I didn't buy tickets to her concert. I wish I had, I'd see it on the tv & instantly be like, I need to go to this. I tried to win tickets like everyday, but nothing. Finally the day before the concert, I happen to randomly call during my lunch hour. Granted I had to clock back in soon, I called, & called. It was busy...busy...busy...and then finally it rings. My heart was pounding outside of my chest.....I was so anxious!!!! My favorite radio host answers & I asked her please tell me I won & she was like what does Britney mean to you & I told her how she's everything to me, & that she was there through all the good times, the bad, & the downright times when I lost faith. She was there through it all...and on the bad days, let's face it we all have them....SHE WAS THERE. The host tells me girl you're going to see BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was at work so I was literally SCREAMING & UP & DOWN..I was like 15 minutes late to go back out to work but it was so worth it. I won ticket the day before the event which was so AMAZING. The show was incredible. Briney's opening act was Nikki Minaj who told ROCKED IT. Britney was AMAZING as ALWAYS. It was so great that I got to see her again....LIVE :)

I took my mom with me, and we enjoyed a cocktail, and just had a really nice night out. We had to pick numbers to as in when we got to pick...I got 139 so A lot of the good stuff was pretty much gone when I went to pick..but I am just so thankful I got something in the first place.

So on July 21st, it was literally like ANY other day. I went to work, like I always did....but work was really slow that day. SO when I went on my break, I sometimes don't go on my phone and check twitter, that DAY I did. My friend posted that the Kardashians were at Sears. I work at Old Navy and Sears is like right there. I said the Sear's here?? Why in the heck would the Kardashians be in San Bruno...I left work while still on break, just to check out if it was true...I went upstairs...it was dead, and nothing was happening. So I went downstairs and I saw a good amount of people, and then I SAW KIM AND KHLOE....my heart literally stopped...I LOVE THE KARDASHIANS SO MUCH. They were filming a segment for GOOD MORNING AMERICA. My break was almost done at this time, so I decided to stay, because let's face it, how often does this happen....not all the time. So I called work and told them I WOULD BE LATE. Out of the blue I see one of my male managers...I thought oh crap I'm in trouble, nope, he's a HUGE KIM K fan. He wanted to see her. So I went off to the side, to where they were going to exit, and got some pictures of them. The were literally less than 2ft away. I was in serious heaven that day. It still blows my mind that I saw them in person.

So on July 29th, I got to meet my IDOL SOPHIA BUSH for the second time in my life. A few months before she actually announced she going to be there. I was however already signed up to volunteer prior to her saying that. I was so stoked. I love volunteering and this was the perfect way to get back into it. And her being there....made it that much better. She was actually running the 5k...I wish I signed up, because that would have been AMAZING!!! All in all it was a truly BEAUTIFUL day. I got to literally cheer on the crowd with SOPHIA RIGHT NEXT TO ME...IT WAS PRETTY COOL <3

In between my birthday and vegas, a lot of sad things happened. My dad's best friend passed away, and we found out the day of my birthday, so that made everyone a little sad on my birthday. Then a few days after returning from Vegas we got a call saying my mom's cousin was in the hospital and probably wasn't going to make it. She had a massive stroke and the family was told to prepare for the worst. I had to take my nonni and my mom to the hospital so that they could say their goodbyes. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do. My nonni collapsed before going into the room and broke down and my mom was crying too, but was trying to be strong. Seeing all my loved ones sad and crying and preparing for the worst broke my heart. I always try to see the best no matter what the situation is. I guess you can say I'm an optimal optimist. That flowing day we got news that she was improving, and the next days after, she was doing remarkably better. She had a rough recovery since then, but I am so grateful she is with us today. SO miracles can and DO HAPPEN. BELIEVE IN THEM AND EXPECT GOOD TO HAPPEN IN THE TIMES OF SADNESS.
On September 11th my dad, sister and I went to watch our Giants play. It was also the 10th Anniversary of 9/11. The did a BEAUTIFUL tribute that day. Each person in attendance Got a card with the name of someone who passed away that tragic day. It was a sad day, but the Giants made it a lot easier. That day I also caught my first baseball at a game, I had waited 22 years for that day. Without even hesitating I gave it to the little girl seating a few people away. It felt right, and it still does at this very moment. Sometimes making other people happy over yourself means so MUCH MORE....and it truly does!!!!!!

On October 4th I got to see the PLAIN WHITE T'S PERFORM. A friend I had met at another event the year before had another pass and asked if I wanted it....I said yes and the rest is history. So it pays to know people, and vice versa. They were awesome!!!!! After the event, I got to meet them and they were all so very nice!!! I ended up walking down the stairs with Tom and we talked for a little bit, he was so down to earth and he reminded me of one of my favorite pitchers on my giants...tim lincemcum..he actually said he gets that a LOT. Pretty good day.
Sometime in October I won a ticket to the TEAM TRUE BEAUTY EVENT in LA. The event was a benefit/concert that was going to raise money for that cause. Members of the OTH cast were there, and other various celebrities!!! IT WAS TRULY AMAZING!!! SO BLESSED I WON :)

The last few days of the year were pretty chill and relaxing!!!!!!! Filled with lots of work!!!!!!!! On the last day of the year 2011 we got this pretty amazing little puppy, Bailey!!!!!! I like to spell his name BALEY because it reminds me of my FAVORITE show ONE TREE HILL!!!! I love Brooke and Haley and together they're BALEY. Random I know but hey!!!! I could have went out on new years, but I wanted to spend it with the people I love the most!! It was pretty low key and I loved every second of it!!!!!!!
This past year was incredibly tough for my family and I hate see them go through ROUGH PATCHES....but looking back this was one of my BEST YEARS YET!!!! LOTS of DREAMS and BEAUTIFUL moments combined!!!!!!! I would have given anything to take away the pain, hurt, sorrow and just plain SADNESS to those I love. When they look back, they see ONE OF THEIR WORST YEARS YET, and I almost feel GUILTY for all the GOOD things that HAPPENED TO ME. But when I really think about it, as selfish as this may sound I DESERVED EVERY GOOD THING that happened to me!!!! That's something I will NOT apologize for....the thing is I know even going through that HEARTACHE AND PAIN, they still were happy for me, regardless of their sadness. Just like I was there for them. If anything I wish this year brings everyone I love lots, of LOVE AND HAPPINESS AND NOTHING BUT GOOD AND GREAT THINGS. BAD THINGS HAPPEN, BUT GOOD THINGS CAN HAPPEN TOO. I live my life with an open heart and mind and a POSITIVE OUTLOOK!!! Life is too short to not ENJOY every second you are given. You need to enjoy life, and appreciate EVERYTHING you HAVE. Life is truly a BEAUTIFUL gift!!!!!!! SO PLEASE ENJOY EVERY SINGLE SECOND....ITS IMPORTANT!!! THIS YEAR DO SOMETHING YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO AND DO IT WITH ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF YOUR HEART....YOU MATTER AND WHAT YOU LOVE MATTERS!!! SO HERE'S TO A REALLY CRAZY AMAZING YEAR. LOVE TO EVERYONE OF MY LOVES. YOU GUYS ARE THE WORLD TO ME...
MUCH LOVE,
KRISTIN ELIZABETH <3
