Catching up!!

Gonna make a picture-filled post about what I've been up to recently because I've been out for a long time!

This was on facebook; I was on the way to a group meeting and saw a tour group, so, naturally.....

Beautiful sunrise!! I think this was Friday, actually! This is from the third floor of my apartment looking out over the southern parking lot and police services. 

This was my Halloween makeup. Witchy witchy!

Some pretty flowers I passed. There's a rose garden near Jones Hall on campus. Unfortunately, this year there weren't a lot of blooms. I found these pretty small roses though!

Ah yes. This guy... he was... uh... the guy who wrote the manifesto with Marx! Yeah! That guy!

Tom Tiger up in the UC! Halloween was also homecoming day.

Some brownie-cookies I made for the honors student council scary movie night!!

This is REALLY funny but might need a little explaining. I few posts ago I mentioned anime, japanese-style animation. The characters on the SIDE OF THIS CAR are from a kids-teens show called Naruto. It's something I watched in middle school, so I recognize them... These ladies, in skimpy clothes instead of their normal, not-slimpy outfits, were on the side of this car. ALSO ON THE HOOD. ALSO ON THE OTHER SIDE!

This was a beautiful moment at movie night where Rachel (mon amour) got a ball to stop halfway through her goal!

Got a coke, brownie, and BBQ nachos!!!

Nathan and I ready to head home for my birthday!!!

Waiting on the boo to grab some clothes.

A train stopped on the tracks. I don't know what was wrong, but it was pretty cool to see!

About my birthday!!! 

I had a GREAT birthday. I loved all my presents (I got a ton of cool stuff, like USB-heated mittens, a mixer, a panda blanket, an amazon card! It was all great!) but I think the best present I got was something a lot cheesier...

When I got home, I was greeted by my mom and a warm fire and my cat, with snacks. Then we went to lunch and had a delicious dinner that evening! Then when I got back, I also celebrated with Nathan's family.

Something that I never realized when I was little was how much love you receive on birthdays. It was all about the presents for me. But this birthday is different because of all the stuff I'm juggling at the time. I never had time to think about how many people loved me. My friends and my family both gave me so much love on my birthday that I've been glowing since Saturday. Nothing can bring me down! That was the best present, all the love I got. Thank you everyone for that!
