I Love Fall

I'm officially a junior in college. It seems really weird to think that way. I feel like I just started college, and now I'm over half-way done with it. Time is really flying by...



This year has been great so far. I'm living in an on-campus apartment with three other girls who I had never met before move-in day. Luckily, they're all really fun and sweet and it has been a nice change. This is the first time that I haven't known my roommates beforehand, and so far everything is going really smoothly. Being in an apartment = living room and kitchen, which has been amazing! I haven't been to the cafeteria once this semester, and I'm really hoping to keep it that way!



This is also the first time that I have had a boyfriend that goes to the same college as me, and that has been wonderful! Daniel and I have had some really fun times, and I'm SO glad he decided to come back this year. A couple weekends ago, he surprised me after classes and we went on a nice drive into the country. We went pretty far up a mountain, and it was just beautiful. There was a huge lake and lookout points all along the way. Apparently, there's a mile-long walk that leads to a waterfall somewhere in there, and I'm going to make Daniel take me there one of these weekends coming up.

Speaking of Daniel, his mother was in town this weekend for a visit from Ohio. It was really great to see her again, and I was as sweet and lovely as I could be to keep up her good impression of me. haha...

Here's Daniel and I after dinner on Saturday...

What else is new? My friend Katie is coming down this weekend for a visit from Kentucky. She lived on my hall the first semester of Freshman year, and we became really good friends. She moved back home after the first year, but we've stayed in contact and I'm really excited to see her and have a fun weekend catching up on everything!

Here is a really bad/old picture of my group of close friends from Freshman year. This was our Christmas gift exchange at Tres Hermanos. Yay for mexican food!...hopefully we will take some good ones this weekend to refresh my collection! (Katie is on the far right.)
