...and a Happy New Year!

Some of my favorites from the Holiday Season! 



Sally & David are growing up so quickly! I love the little personalities they are developing.  I can't get enough of the fun times I get to spend with them.  They are so much fun! 



OUR TREES! 

Loved the Christmas throwbacks this year! 


Me! Circa 1995.


Mum back in the 60s! 
Richard!





I love my friends! SO blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. 


Fabulous Christmas Eve service with the fam. 



Ringing in the New Year with Foxy Shazam!

Growing Up.

Is this what being a grown-up is?


I'm excited about any and every discount, and try to find things super cheaply.
I sometimes think I can't afford to eat.
I signed a lease for a house.
I'm applying for internship, hoping to make real money.
I'm making decisions about what I think I want to do with the rest of my life.
I'm friends with my mom because I like her as a person, not just as a parent. 
I bought new baking ware and wine glasses.
I do my own laundry.
Sometimes I wear lipstick. 
I'm more interested in investing in solid wardrobe pieces than trends, 
because I know my clothes will still fit next year.
I even got a pseudo adult haircut. 
Yikes. 

Here is my little brother, also looking grown up-ish. 

Remember when we were babies!?


Here's the house! Isn't she cute?! (+Bob, the landlord)

Snow.

Snow was definitely one of those things I used to love.  I loved snow when I could skip school. I loved snow when I could cuddle up with a book and a hot mug of cocoa and just watch it flurry.  I loved snow when it meant Christmas was right around the corner!  

Now it's a hassle and an illusion.  

Now that I have to walk or bus everywhere I go snow is just a monster.  I don't want to have to trek out into the cold, and the busses are always late.  It also makes it really hard to force myself to go to class...
Also, for the past few years, there's been a dusting in November cutting my precious fall far too short.  Then the snow stops leaving us with a GREEN Christmas. Who wants a green Christmas?!  Not me. To make matters worse, it then dumps an extra ton of snow after the New Year and stays cold all the way until my birthday.  This weather drives me nuts. 


End rant.

HAPPY FALL!

Hey! Hi! Hello! 



So it has been forever since I have updated anything... 
But here's a quick run down of what's been going on:


Fall is in full swing, and I'm loving it! It is definitely my favorite season, and I can't get fully into the spirit without yummy candles and some lovely harvest pumpkins and gourds. 


Geeked out like a kid and went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. 
It fulfilled all of my cheesy pun needs. 


Went to the SSLYBY concert the Pitt radio station held in the union. I was so thrilled to see them live, definitely one of my favorite artists this fall! 



Spent some time with my awesome friends and wonderful brothers! (Look how adorable we all are)



Bought some of my fave Frenchie drank.


Renewed my passport and got a crazy weird fortune. Ya dig? Word. 


ALSO (reasons why I've been MIA): 
The University of Pittsburgh Musical Theatre Club production of Spamalot is coming up in a month! COME CHECK IT OUT!
