Halloween Decorations!

For a halloween package, I received some Halloween Candy Corn lights! I put them up just last night and they look sooooo cute! Great way to start celebrating the holiday! Outside our door, Ashlyn bought some Halloween streamers!

Fall Break in Austin, TX!!!!

Fall Break finally arrived!!!! I had been counting down the days for weeks since I arrived, and when it did I was more excited than ever. While it flew by WAY too fast, I still so happy I could come home and visit. Mom looked GREAT-which was so encouraging. My dad and I played our favorite Double Solitaire game numerous times, we went to Matt's El Rancho for lunch on Saturday (my first time there ever...crazy to say as I've lived in Texas all my life!), The Oasis for lunch on Sunday, Yogurt Planet on Sunday afternoon, saw my friend Kendall for a bit, went with my parents to Starbucks for coffee twice, saw Nana for an hour on Sunday afternoon, watched several good movies with my parents at night, and had my three favorite meals prepared for each dinner (Salmon, asparagus and couscous on Saturday; Vegetarian Lasanga and fruit on Sunday; King Ranch Chicken and fruit on Monday. Absolutely the best three meals I've had in the longest time! :) Thanks Mom. Here are some pictures I took throughout the weekend- most from The Oasis!

Christi's Beach House for the Night

The weekend before I came home to Austin for Fall Break, my friend Christi invited my roommate Ashlyn and I to join along with her to her beach house just 45 min from campus for the night. It was SO much fun to just get away from campus for a night and enjoy a relaxing night away from the noise the residence halls always provide. We stopped at a Mexican Restaurant for dinner just 5 min from her house and then put on our PJS and watched two scary movies I brought along ( The Hand that Rocks the Cradle & The Glass House). We were so tired we all slept in till 10 AM!!! Thats amazing for me, considering I am such an early riser. Here are two pictures I took of the house. Its not really so much a "Beach house" but more her grandparents house whom passed away. The first is the living room we watched our movies in, and the second is the bed I slept in! :)
