Can't wait!

for the Bloomington P-Fresh! It can't get here soon enough, now I will no longer have to leave my beloved Target, hooray!

Welcome Back!

So tonight marks the end of winter break. I had a great time visiting my family and being back in San Diego. I miss them and the food already! The last week has been packed with a whirlwind trip to Minneapolis to visit Land O' Lakes, 3M, General Mills and Target and try to make nice with the -9 degree weather. I brought back with me loads of new clothes (thanks mom and dad), Banana Nut Cherrios (thanks General Mills) and my coveted Bullesye stuffed dog (thanks Target). Since being back I have had some time to catch up with some of my friends, take Addie for walks in the snow and watch as much of the Wire as humanly possible and just relax. It's been nice, but I have to say goodbye to it, and hello to my 2nd semester.

Rolling up the sidewalks

When class is in session it is hard to remember that Bloomington is a small town. After taking our friends to the shuttle and Charlton too, it got really quiet. I dropped a box off at school and it was pretty eerie, where is everyone?! Why isn't anyone studying?! Oh wait. No more class, or core.

When I wasn't playing shuttle driver, I cleaned out my closet and dropped off my cast-offs to Goodwill and cleaned off my bookshelf. Oh and spilled root beer on my laptop. Good times!

On more night in here in B-Town, then I am Cali bound too. A little relaxing and sun should do me good.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Got back into Bloomington yesterday afternoon after a couple crazy travel days trekking. It's great to be home!

Charlton's dad is here visiting us from Cleveland and to help us celebrate Thanksgiving here in the apartment. This is only the second Thanksgiving away from my family, so it should be interesting to be away from so many of the people I am thankful for. I plan on calling them all today or trying to skype so hopefully it won't be too bad.

We have had an amazing year, full of once in a lifetime experiences and have met some lifelong friends. We are truly blessed and I am thankful for all we have (including that turkey that is ready to go in the oven!)

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

I'm back!

Just walked in and are in the midst of catching up on my emails, mail and getting some snacks. What a whirlwind trip! Good to be home though.

Survived my 1st haircut in Bloomington! Think it turned out pretty good, phew!
