A Cold Weekend

It's a cold one, Mr. Grinch. We had a wonderfully cold weekend. I spent it finishing up my last assignments of the semester, cleaning, watching Jingle All the Way and American Horror Story on Netflix, hanging out with Luna and Kyle. Today is my last day of class for the semester! Hooray!

Scenes of the Season

Winter. Christmas. A New Year.
I love the lights. I love the cold air. I love the movies, the music, the message. I know it will be over all too soon, so I am determined to soak it in as much as possible. I hope you have the chance to do the same!

Thanksgiving Break Snapshots

It has been a pretty busy week. Kyle returned from Afghanistan last Sunday evening, his mother was in town for a few days, I had class and everything still going on Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday my mom and little brother arrived in Austin. We cooked up a Thanksgiving meal, somehow, all in our little kitchen (we're used to mom's two ovens and two fridges and ample counter space for preparation). I baked my first pie, and it was pretty successful. We did a little black Friday shopping (at like, 11 am) and just hung out until they flew back out on Saturday morning. I've been working on homework and such this weekend. One more week of class to go (our last day is Monday, December 9th). I feel like I have many projects to complete in that time, but it's really not too bad. Anyway, it was a nice and mostly relaxing holiday!

^^I call this, Black Friday: Booze Edition^^

Countdown

Just a cute photo of miss Loons, to accompany me telling you that I have three weeks of school left- our last day is December 9! For this semester...but next semester, my final semester, is pretty much full time at internship with just a couple classes to accompany that, so really, this is my last full-on school semester. At least that's what we tell ourselves to make it through... :)

I'm definitely, very much looking forward to this winter break.
