I hope everyone had a wonderful day-after-Christmas...

In just two short days, me and 3 of my dearest friends will be making our way up to CT.

This will be a 8 hour road trip (longest for me since I'm the farthest South).

I've never been on a road trip this long, especially with friends. There will surely be lots of music, laughter, and food. Can't wait for my first real road trip! :)

Christmas is over.

Can you believe it?

Man, it always flies by so quickly!

I hope everybody has had a blessed Christmas filled with lots of love and laughter with family and friends!

So thankful for my amazing family.
I really need to hit the hay, but that bottle of coke was probably not my brightest idea...
Hopefully the sandman will follow in Santa's footsteps tonight.

How was everybody's Christmas?

Merry Christmas!

Even though it's Christmas break, I still am busy with things to do. Our family had a wonderful Christmas! My grandparents from NC came up and we just got back from our aunt, uncle, and cousins house. So much food and laughter! I'm gonna to start the 5 for Five posts, because I always seem to get things done quicker (or actually get them done at all) if I make a list, especially if I post that list for all to see ;)

1) Buy a wedding gift for my friends wedding in CT on Sunday. SO excited for the road trip with some of my favorite ladies as well! It's gonna be an awesome weekend! Expect a picture heavy post mid-week next week for this event!

2) Finish reading Hunger Games then go buy Mockingjay. This is definitely not something that needs to be done, but I really want to do it, so I'm putting it on this list anyway because it is pretty important to me right now ;)

3) Order my books for next semester online. My mom is being so generous and paying for them for me! Such a huge weight lifted off my shoulders!

4) Go to the gym before I leave on Friday!

5) Clean the mess that is my room...

I hope you all had a blessed Christmas!

I will hopefully also be posting one more post before this weekend, and after I get back and the New Year starts my posts will be much more regular because I will actually have a schedule again. Wahoo!

Carytown Adventures

12/17/12

Today I went to Carytown with my dear friend, Em.

We ate yummy salads with roasted tomatoes and goat cheese at New York Deli.

I tried Moshi for the first time. It was very interesting...

I got a vintage RVA postcard to hang in my room at school.

I got an RVA T-shirt.

We marveled at the books in Chop Suey.

I left B-sides without the ugly sweater I desperately wanted (that took major self control).

We ate yummy truffles from For the Love of Chocolate.

I got a pumpkin chocolate chip cupcake from Carytown Cupcakes and showed Em the proper way to eat a cupcake.

I got very depressed that Dixie Donuts and the Yarn Lounge were closed.

And, we had loads of fun.

This girl is great and I cherish her friendship.

Some of my favorite memories from this past semester with some of my favorite people in the world. I am beyond blessed to have such amazing friends. I love every single one of them.
