365 Blog-Day 297

On the way to a wedding rehearsal, my dad jokingly came in with this hat on. My response was, "Awww, I can't wait until you're a little old man." and he said, "won't be too long." I said he could be my British pop for a fortnight. Such a handsome lad ;)

365 Blog-Day 296

Gus was playing his own version of "whack a mole" with Quincey. He would lie under the coffee table and when she would walk by, he would smack her down with his paw. It was quite amusing and distracting from my studying. Was a nice study break to watch these two.

365 Blog-Day 295

So, apparently my name is "Orianna." I guess the last time these blocks got dusted, they got turned around. Was laying in bed and looked up to see that. I kinda like me new nickname.

365 Blog-Day 294

I got this really cool decoration from The Musgraves for graduation. You can put flowers or feathers, or colored water. Pretty much anything to decorate with.

365 Blog-Day 293

I was studying up at ACU and noticed that they actually have recycling set up and functioning since it was implemented when I was there. So glad to see it succeed. ;) the library is super nice for those who haven't seen it, check it out.

365 Blog-Day 292

Hung out with Holland and M'kenzi all weekend and watched Bridesmaids with Holland's "rats" (dogs). She calls them her rats. Poor puppies. That movie is so funny you'll fall right out of your seat. "My apologies. I'm not even confident which end that came out of." hahah it's a bit crass, but worth a good laugh.

365 Blog-Day 291

Got to go to BJs with my Dallas friends and play some games at April's apartment. Sure was a great way to end a day full of interviews and start a weekend full of study course material.

365 Blog-Day 290

A typical day. Studying with the dogs snoozing at my feet. Can't wait to be done with my boards, but these puppies sure make nice study buddies.

Brittany was a bit chilly on Christmas Eve, so Uncle CayCay warmed her up under his jacket. So fun to be able to walk from cabin to cabin with warm fires lit inside. Such a fun experience to be somewhere so beautiful at this time of year.
