It Was All Yellow

Yesterday the weather was perfect in Austin and I had the most wonderful day. I went to mass in the morning, did my homework and laundry, then went hiking on the Greenbelt with Curran, only to finish the day at bible study with my favorite ladies topping the whole day off with a mini blizzard with two of my favorite guys. Today is a Monday; yes, one of those Mondays. It is seeming to drag on with no end in sight.

For spring break my parents and I are going to Reno, Nevada; my dad bought our flight tickets yesterday. Also, St. Edward's homecoming and parent weekend is rapidly approaching; my parents will be here and I am really looking forward to it.

In one of my honors classes, Issues of Social Justice, we recently wrote a paper defining what social justice is. I had a bit of fun with the paper because social justice is one of those concepts that has no definite label. It is especially interesting to examine all of the issues that relate to social justice.

The weather is wonderful today; a cold front is coming in soon so I am going to take advantage of today, maybe another hike?

Over and out.

We Are Family

So this is short and sweet, but only because I have praise and worship tonight! As you can tell I am so excited, my heart needs this. It has been brought to my attention that over half of my family is blogging the links are in my side bar but just for your peaking interest:

Dad's Blog- This is the founding father blog of our family blogging. My dad has been blogging for some time now so he is of course an old pro. He has recently started blogging about the book of Psalms chapter by chapter. I'm glad to see that he is back in the game!

Reid's Blog- This is my older brother's blog. I think he works on it with a few of his friends. My brother, as I have mentioned before, is a Texas Rangers fanatic so right now the focus of his blog is of course the Rangers. However, the writing is good and the boys seem to know what they are doing so check it out.

Katie's Blog- This is my next door neighbor's blog. Katie and I are basically sisters; I figured she would fit in this list nicely. Her blog is bipolar, meaning she goes on posting rampages then doesn't post for a month, just a forewarning. However, read her posts, you won't be disappointed.

Side note: My TOMS came in today!

SOTD

I hope your day is pleasant and your week is filled with endless joy! If you have a moment say a prayer for the praise band I am playing with tonight and all the students who are coming out to worship with us!

Carpe Diem,

A moment, a love, a dream a laugh...

Let's start with the song of the month...yeah it's that good SOTM. (Teague you will love it I promise). And for the SOTD.

So the first week of school definitely came and went quickly and was filled with anticipated chaos. Nonetheless, I am happy to be back at St. Ed's and into a busy routine. The new semester offers a fresh set of courses to learn from and adventures to embark on. Last weekend Curran and I went hiking at the Greenbelt:

Also, while spending time with my grandmother in Dallas I was able to earn some money and purchased new dress/casual shoes for my wardrobe:

Also, this is really funny.

Anyways, I realize this isn't the best blog post, but there is always more to come.

Carpe Diem,

You're My Person

I have been in Dallas, Texas visiting my grandmother, Noni, since Wednesday. Noni and I are alike in many ways: we both hate the cold, like books, and enjoy spending time with each other to name a few. Since I have been here, we have been very productive together. Today we actually went to the AT&T store and purchased her an iPhone. My grandmother has an iPhone and she is getting the hang of it pretty quickly; yeah she's a BOSS.

Thanks Apollo: SOTD

I am anticipating the arrival of my dear mother the day after tomorrow. I realize we have only spent a little over a week apart, but spending time with her is always wonderful.

I recently decided that my upcoming semester is going to be so hectic that I am going to need a planner. Now those of you that know me know that I rarely make plans that don't change and I hate writing things down. Nonetheless this new leaf will be turned over; I have spent the money and my planner is being shipped to the school. Almost every friend I have uses a planner, the same planner in fact, here it is...the one and only moleskine:

Along with the arrival of my planner, the new semester brings many new things into my life, more on those at a later time.

Also, since we all know how much I like to talk about how much I like or dislike the current weather, let me tell you that Dallas is far too cold right now. Jack Frost needs to leave and never return.

I hope you haven't found this muse a waste of time, and I hope that this new year has greeted you with as many blessings in your life as it has mine.

Carpe Diem,

Life Lately

Fear not, I am still continuing to blog frequently as I have previously mentioned! Lately my life has been spent on the road "Back Down South". I left my lovely family back in Gruver last Thursday morning heading for Sugar Land to see my wonderful friend Melina. My parents left for Las Vegas that morning for the Consumer Electronics Show (I think that's what it's called) where my dad had entirely too much fun... see here. I was supposed to drive to Dallas this morning but because the weather was unpredictable, I came to Austin for a few days. My stay in the land of sugar was very pleasant. God completely blessed me with the hospitality of Melina and her family.

When I arrived in Houston, the weather was wonderful of course. However, today, the weather is in the thirties and I am wondering exactly what is going on....not okay. I talked to my mother earlier today; she told me in Gruver it was six degrees and school was just canceled due to the snowfall. Luckily, the weather down here is supposed to be warm again by Wednesday. Speaking of my lovely mother, I am super excited because she will be in Dallas this weekend. Even though it will only be a couple days, seeing her is always great.

School starts a week from tomorrow and needless to say, I am ready to get back into the swing of things. I am sure three weeks from now I will be overwhelmed with coursework and ready for spring break; but for now, I am ready for a set routine even if it includes hours of homework.
