Cold Weather Blues

Is anyone else so sick of this cold weather? Basically, I need snow for one day and one day only. Christmas. After that. I'm done, I am in need of a little sunshine on my pale pale skin and exercise in at least 40 degree weather. We will see how tomorrow goes, now that I am off track I am focusing on exercising and being healthy before I have to go back in April. Oh and another thing I'm pretty much stoked about.... My hair is growing! hala! I've decided to not color my hair until I go back to Rexburg in April, so my hair has time to heal and grow from all my coloring in the past. Be warned that I don't have makeup on except for a little gloss. It was one of those days when I'm like, "I think I'll get somewhat ready"..so what do I do? Curl a little here and there. and a little gloss. haha. done. Going all naturrralll people. It's the way to go these days in the Bird home.

I call him dad

So this is the post dedicated to my dad. Be forewarned that this is loaded with pictures and this is just a long post in general. Congrats if you reach the bottom haha. Anway, I really have looked up to my dad my whole life, we have had so many adventures to California together and I'm still planning on the one that is coming up ;) not so subtle? oh well..ha
He's just the kind of person that you can jam to Phoenix or Depeche Mode (90's people c'mon haha) even though we both know we sound like dying animals haha.. But the great thing is he totally gets me. I can go to him with any problem, seriously any problem and he just understands. Also, just a little personal but I've always been very self conscious about my nose and I've learned over the years the I am darn well proud of my nose, it's been in the Bird family for generations and from amazing artists (my grandpa was a painter, i'll have to dedicate a post to him in the near future...) so why change it or be ashamed of it? For a while there I seriously was considering plastic surgery. Not a lot of people know that about me except for my closest friends and obviously my parents--who said it was ultimately my decision. I had a heart to heart with my dad and he has had the same feelings in the past when he was made fun for having a big nose. I decided a long time ago that I need to be more comfortable and proud of who I am and where I came from.....
So sorry about that little rant but back to my dad.. 
I'm just really proud of him because he has made his name in the world of Disney and it kind of freaks me out that he has fans and people that email him and follow him through Facebook that love and know his work to a tee. I was a little shocked too when I found out my dad has 1,074 friends on Facebook. Yes ladies and gentlemen 1,074. I have what?..392? Oh and a he has a twitter account. Who knew?

So here is my daddy:::::

What a stud

So here is what my dad does:::Along with his job at The Museum of Art at BYU-Provo he is a Disney Artist--he does stained glass--it's always been his dream to be a Disney Artist and to this day he has accomplished his dreams. Here is a little taste of what he has done::::

You can find more information about him here, just click on David Bird or go to his website here. He has had his pieces auctioned off in Disney Land, I've gone with him to a couple of the events that he's been invited to and they are so beyond cool and right within the Disney Parks. And he's met some pretty cool people along the way--Dave Avanzino has been one of these cool people--he's also a Disney artist, he's become a real family friend I highly recommend looking up some of his work. Here are some events::::

Some of the cool people he's met:::

Original Tron Cindy Morgan with One of my dads peices

The Twilight Saga Part 2 Michael Sheem

Artist Tara McPherson

 That's ma daddy right therr. Just one question. Why the heck hasn't he taken me to do this?!---->

The board he's ridin on has been in our garage for the LONGEST time.What the heck?! Why are we not using it?!

College.

So Today my dad brought up that he had to go down to Cali for his Disney Job--which by the way I should show you all by now because I think he's pretty cool :) 
So I just happen to be listening and I'm like "oh my heck can I come?!" His answer was a definite maybe. I cannot tell you how much I want to get out of Utah and Idaho! And I'm sick of snow, bring on the heat! 
This is another pretty random post but here are some pictures back when I was in The Rexing burg...and here is the recipe for the meatloaf (very easy..I mean if I can do it you sure as heck can too... and it comes out amazingly yummy)  ::

The best meatloaf ever! Made by moi 

Just a day in the life---before class

Roomie (you know who you are) likes to take pictures of me with my camera as I get ready..and then change the colors and settings haha.

Home Sweet Home

People I am finally home! I know, I know I've been home for a while now, but I feel like I'm still getting used to being home and not going to school...until Spring--April. I'm actually kind of excited about going back and meeting new boys people and my new roommates! I actually really miss my roommates! This is on a completely different note but I have to tell you guys because it came out of no where, I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning from who knows what...It was a couple nights ago and I'm completely fine--My family and I are watching Morning Glory (really good movie by the way) and I go into my front room to lay down because my stomach feels kinda sick, then I run upstairs because it's getting pretty bad..2 seconds later....ugh throw up. Sorry. Too. Much. Info. Anyway, it was just bad for next couple of days but I'm over it, luckily. Oh and the only good part about this poisoning stuffs is I lost like 4 lbs woo! Haha but in the worst possible way. I don't recommend it and don't try it at home.
K but seriously, I have more songs.
Yup music rules my life right now.

Imagine Dragons Radioactive -- I found this through watching The Host trailer..mm. chills. gotta see it.
 Natasha Bedingfield Strip Me
 Foster the People Houdini

It was so funny because my mom came into my room today and she was like, "what the heck happened to your room?" 
I was like..."I unpacked."
