From Break to Books

I'm about a week and a half back into school and I'm loving this semester so far! I have two 12:30 mornings (SLEEP, SCORE!) and two 9:30 mornings (not so much sleep) and no classes on Fridays! What a miracle. My Christmas break was wonderful. Who wouldn't want to be home for a month? I love being with my family and friends.

There were some awesome and not-so-awesome happenings during the delightful month of December. I received my first speeding ticket (yikes!) on the way home from college, I made the Chancellor's List at school, I was able to meet the precious new baby Riley Grace, I spent Christmas with my grandparents, brother, parents, family and friends, and New Year's with my best friends, and celebrated my daddy's 44th birthday! It was very eventful, if I do say so. Probably the best part was sleeping in something other than a twin sized dorm room bed...kidding, kind of. Time for a re-cap in pictures!

For starters, I met the brand new addition to the Parrish family, Riley Grace!

Christmas with the Cooke sisters!

Take two.

 Christmas Light show with my brother and parents!

The awesome three generation Christmas selfie with myself, Nana, and Mama!

Christmas family picture, I love them!

Sibling shot!

New Year's with the best!

Laughing as usual!

Celebrating Daddy's birthday!

The cutest picture of all. My parents sent me a selfie from an NCSU basketball game,

 one of dad's birthday gifts!

I have a beautiful four day weekend ahead of me, thank you Martin Luther King, Jr., A LOT of reading, and hopefully a basketball game Saturday night! 2014 will probably be one of the best years yet. It's going fantastically so far! Have a great and safe weekend!
