The end of my last fall semester...

The semester is finally over! Definitely my hardest semester yet; I feel; like I hardly slept in November. And I turned in almost 200 pages in the final week of the semester!

 My parents visited at the beginning of November! It was so fun introducing them to all of my friends and the place I call home for most of the year.

Some friends and I met Rachael halfway between her home and CU for her birthday dinner:)

We celebrated birthdays with a night out for dinner!

Sleepover!

 Good movie:)

I went with Rachael to her grandparents' home in PA. Me, Alyssa, and Rachael made a music video;)

Christmas Party!

50 books checked out by the end of the semester...

Now I am enjoying being home sleeping, reading, playing piano, and just relaxing!

Fall Break

As usual, better late than never!

Alex and I went to Rachael's house for fall break a couple of weekends ago :) It was a wonderful time of relaxing, eating, and spending time with my English buddies!

The fur coat I am wearing was almost $3,000!!

At the Covered Bridge Festival

Love her :)

Good times!

MIA

I'm a terrible blogger.  And I'm very sorry about that.  Here's a recap of the last two months of my life!

Hunter and I spent an evening in Minneapolis before I went back to school.  We ate at Savoy's pizza for dinner (delicious!) and then I took him to the Walker Sculpture Garden since he had never been before.

My family got a pontoon! And yes, it's orange. Be jealous.

All the Premo ladies went to a play and then out for dinner :)

Made it back to Ohio for my last year!

My mom had a layover in Columbus and I got to see her:)

Reunited and it feels soo good! :) We went sailing (our yearly tradition) and I ended up falling off the boat and slightly fracturing my ninth rib. Go me! I amaze myself at how talented I am.

My wonderful friend Rachael visited :) so us English buddies spent a day together

I went home for a weekend in September! I got to watch Hunter's football game, spend time with my family, and see my best friends :)

My friends and I spent an evening taking pictures in a beautiful sunflower field, eating ice cream, and watching a movie together :)

God has blessed me with some pretty wonderful friends and memories!

I can see clearly now...

...the glasses are gone! I can't believe it finally happened. I've wanted LASIK for as long as I can remember and I was finally able to have the procedure done. People laugh at me because the surgery hasn't even been around as long as the time it has been since I first got glasses, but it felt like forever to me. It's not that I hated my glasses entirely, but not having glasses is just so convenient. Although there was a period from 6th-10th grade where I would only wear my glasses when I really needed them (like in class when I was looking at the board), I eventually grew to love my glasses. They were just a part of who I was. I am looking forward to not having them in the future though :)

English Buddy Reunion!

I met up with my two English buddies this past weekend in Indiana! It was so much fun spending time talking and laughing with them. Rachael got to show us all around her hometown :) Unfortunately, Rachael won't be coming back to school this year :( so I have a feeling we will be making many more trips to visit her!

3-D Puzzle

Kelly and I worked for 18 hours on a 3-D puzzle of Venice, Italy and we finally completed it last night! My grandpa used to have tons of 3-D puzzles around his house and we got a couple of his. Our next project is going to be New York City and it has 2,000 more pieces to it than this one!

It's June 6th and...

...I had my fireplace on today. What has this crazy world come to?!
