Marriage Proposal

Yes, it's true. I'm taking matters into my own hands. And I'm proposing to this guy. After having watched this movie.



Yes, I'm aware that he's already married. And it's one of those situations where I unfortunately really like who he's married to. But you just can't control matters of the heart.

SO, John Krasinski, will you marry me?

Anyone know him personally and could pass this proposal along for me?

New Beginnings

It's a brand new year, full of new possibilities and new beginnings. And to be honest, I have a great feeling about what 2012 will bring.

But before I forget, let us reflect on some of the great things 2011 brought.

Graduating from BYU

Moving to NYC (well, technically Harlem) and working at BBDO

The Mavs winning their first NBA Championship

Rebecca Black

My epic return to the blessed state of Texas (Blue Bell included)

This fabulous Chrysler commercial

And... not surprisingly, more EFY

Thanks for being great, 2011. Lots of great memories. Lots of big milestones. Here's hoping 2012 just gets better!

Why?

Guys, perhaps you have wondered why girls always fall for the bad boy? Girls, perhaps you have wondered why you're always going after someone who treats your horribly?

The diagnosis? I found it.

Why Good Women Date Bad Guys

Don't say I never did anything for you.

Realization

Today while driving home from work, I had a realization I must share with you.

The NBA is like an abusive boyfriend. Mistreats me. Leads me on. Isn't available when I really need it in my life.

And then, just when it knows I'm about to build up courage to walk away, it comes crawling back with those puppy-dog eyes begging for forgiveness. Promising it'll change and this time it'll be better and that it'll never happen again.

And I fell for it. Because I love it.

This Was Such A Good Find

I'm in love with this man because he loves Friday Night Lights as much as I do.

The life lessons he took away from the show?

1. Relish the Underdog Role

2. A Man Needs to Come to Peace With His Father

3. Nurture Manliness

4. A Man Seeks Redemption

5. Texas Forever (Never forget where you came from)

6. A Man's Closest Ally is His Wife

7. A Man Needs a Team

8. Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Can't Lose

Seriously, if you're a fan of the show, go read this article. And if you're not, go watch the whole series and then go read this article.

Literally gave me chills reading it. Literally.

I Want to Pet a Dinosaur

The National Geographic nerd in me is dying over this. Who's going with me to find this place?

Basketball Never Stops

As a lover of the NBA and Advertising, I am in LOVE with this spot. Especially because it features Dirk shooting some wicked shots.

I would absolutely kill to be involved in making spots like this. Please, please let me get a job working on a sports-related client at some point in my career.

Also, the NBA should consider themselves SO lucky that brands like Nike and Under Armour are making sure that people still love the game of basketball and pro athletes. I just want to see my Mavs get their rings! Is that so much to ask??
