Welcome home!

Hello!

The past couple months have absolutely flown by and I'm sitting here wondering how in the world it is already the middle of January...

Finals week was full of high stress, no sleep, lots of chocolate and a little bit too much procrastination, but wound up being simply rewarding when I finally got home to do nothing but cuddle with my puppy for an entire month :) Winter break was gone in the blink of an eye after wonderful Christmas and New Years celebrations and tons of time spent with family (Penny) and high school friends.

Happy to spend Christmas with my baby sister!




Wouldn't be Christmas Eve without footie pajamas!
It is always great to be back in Urbandale, but Coe and all my friends here were definitely missed throughout the month! Now that we're back it's like we never even left... soccer practices, homework, meetings and lots of laughs started right back up where I left them and I am excited to be starting my last semester as a junior in college (terrified might actually be a better adjective, but anyway...).

With the new semester comes new classes, including my Honors Seminar entitled "Transformation of Style and Culture through Barcelona", which is, indeed, as wonderful as it sounds. We basically spend a semester learning from our professor, a native from Barcelona, while she works to convince us to travel to the beautiful country of Spain. If I didn't have the travel bug before, I definitely will after this class!

I've spent a lot of time these first few weeks back at school catching up with my friends (and the Bachelor), and enjoying free time while I have it before classes and homework get crazy again. I'm certainly happy to be home again <3

Peace, blessings & wishes of warm weather,
