Back to Reality for a Bit

Thanksgiving break is over and I am currently sitting in the library back at school. Finals are this week and next week. I honestly don't have it tough this semester, but I probably just jinxed myself. My Education class has almost come to a close, we had our last day at the elementary school last week. That was so bittersweet. Those sweet babies will stay with me forever!

Thanksgiving was great! I was so happy to be home. I went Black Friday shopping with my parents and brother, that was a success! But, my favorite thing that we always do is put the Christmas tree up! We do it every year, the day after Thanksgiving. It's a tradition. We have a different theme every year. It's so fun to mix it up! This year it is beach themed. We put starfish and seashells all over it! The presents are wrapped in brown paper, tied in twine and blue ribbon, it looks so sandy! I love it!



There are about two weeks left in my first semester of college! It has gone by SO fast, I almost can't believe it. I swear I just moved in yesterday. I'll be so happy and relieved to go home for the holidays, though. I love my family. Here are some more pictures from break.

On the way to Myrtle Beach with my mama!

Saying goodbye to ML at Jumpin' Java, our favorite coffee hangout back home.

Seeing Catching Fire with a bunch of great friends!

Now, I should probably stop procrastinating and get back to actual school work. Those essays won't write themselves, unfortunately. Happy Holidays!
