LOVe

It was Valentine's Day yesterday....so here are some LOVE letters:

Dear Buddy,

You are my Valentine and my darling girl! You are my favorite ! And I love you so much! I am glad you are feeling better, and are up to your old tricks and making ridiculous mischief.

Dear Robbie,

You were a fun date! I'm happy I got to spend the night with my favorite guy!

Dear Ben and Ryan,

You boys are my darlings, and I love and appreciate you both so much. Especially since you brought me soda when I wasn't feeling well. Also you are both the best friends I could have asked for. My life is so much more enriched because you are so fun and hilarious!

Dear Gerri,

I miss you lots. I sometimes wish I had my "mom" here to hang with me. =)

Dear Geneva and Shalan,

I miss you and love you sooo much! I wish I didn't have to wait till the summer or end of summer to see you!

Dear sunshine,

Today I realized I forgot what a full day of sunshine was like. I love you for showing up today.

Dear Erika,

I can't wait for next year. You are wayyy to much fun to text! I need to spend way more time with you. You are such a fantastic girl!

Dear all Baylor friends,

I love you!

sick so soup

tortellini soup! I have been feeling kind of on and off my nut the past week and a half. This helped me feel better and warm me up...the past week has been freezing everyday.

a learned how to edit my photos!

I like to think they aren't half bad

We were promised snow...

and after some rain, and hardcore sleet. Brandon looks outside and yells "i think it's snowing now!"...large, huge, beautiful, flaky, white snowflakes started coming down! it was magical. the flakes stuck to our hair, clothes, face, cars. It came down so quickly that within a few minutes we were throwing snowballs at each other.

The snow lasted until friday...but school was NOT canceled. ALthough art history (my one class of the day) was canceled today...so i guess i still got a snow day. it that really counts.

It sounds like its raining pop-rocks!

yea, its a weird sound...but a nice one to fall asleep to.

also today, ran 6 miles, biked 21, and did an hour of yoga. Needless to say I'm crashing hard, but am very pleased with myself.

kicking butt in two ways...

so I totally dominated my art history test today. I counted and there was a total of 3 questions I did not know...this was out of almost 200 questions and an essay! It made me realize, I like studying and knowing I did well on a test...I haven't felt this in a while.

Also, I lost a little more than a month of solid bearathon training. I am running faster than I ever have, but I think I could have been even faster if I didn't have my IT band injury. So my challenge is getting in tip top shape in a month, increasing my average mile speed by a minute for a two hour race. I am mildly concerned that the last two years I have gotten a terrible week-long case of the flu the last week in Feb. I need to be super cautious so I don't get that again, because if I do...I might just be lucky if I finish the bearathon. My goal is under 2 hours. I feel this is a good goal, for doing alot of treadmill running, not lots of hills, my first race that is longer than 3 miles, and my first race in 5 years.

Also Buddy gets her stitches out tomorrow!!!! I'm so happy for her, I feel like this will help her get back to normal....her hair just has to grow.

this weekend

I have been sick the past two days. I'm hoping I'll feel totally better by tomorrow, so I can get back to my running and workout schedule, and feel good enough to study for art history.

Over ripe bananas always prompts banana muffin making! I added chocolate chips, fresh bananas, and walnuts to my trader joe's mix!!!! They were soo fantastic right out of the oven, I downed four, and called Robbie and made him come over and eat some....this is probably the best thing I have made this year by far!

Dan and I watched Fargo last night. The accents made the movie fantastic! Now that is our new accent we insist on talking in!

Superbowl....i studying for art history, and recieved and gave back rubs to and from Connor. My back hurt from being sick....it feels sooo much better!!!!

Also for housing, I decided on the duplex! I really want a backyard. I hate always being couped up in here. The other places I looked at didn't have porches or outside areas. I'm so excited! Erika is like my favorite girl at Baylor...she is so opposite the typical Baylor girl. She's so chill and nondemanding, and genuine. She also always wears dresses and skirts! SOo classy, and beautiful!

Also me and roommate Katie have had a good, fun weekend together! I've been laying low cuz of Buddy and being sick, and She has been good fun company!

whole foods run...

When I picked up Buddy in Austin, Mom and I made a whole foods run. I was super out of food, only had cereal left...needless to say I loaded up big time!!!!!

I've been eating yummy organic goodies all week long!!!
