A Perfect Evening

This is what a perfect evening looks like. Hot chocolate and White Christmas.


Friday night was a perfect evening. I should have been studying but I needed a mental health break.

Thanksgiving 2009

This year, Thanksgiving was a little different. For the first time ever, I was traveling home for the holiday. I left Wednesday morning and came back late Sunday night. I was lucky that I didn't have to fly alone though. Since my dad is working in Houston now, we were able to take the same flight to Chicago and back. It was a good thing to because I had an extra carry-on that he was in charge of. It was kind of a pain because I had to bring home all my school books so I could study during the break. I had one suitcase for my clothes and another for my books. The break was a much needed change of scenery. I studied most of the day and then met up with friends at night. 5 days went by so fast! Here are some pictures of my Thanksgiving break!

Even the dogs wanted some turkey!

You can't bring Kristin anywhere! (I love being the designated driver- you get to see the crazy things people do)

What's that white stuff coming down from the sky?

It snowed in Houston today! It came down most of the day but not much of it stuck to the ground. It doesn't snow very often in Houston so Houstonians are ill-equipped to deal with it (no plows or salt). As a result, they closed the university early and even closed the law library (and we have finals starting next week). I was supposed to work at Williams Sonoma tonight but they closed early due to the weather. There is going to be a hard freeze tonight so everyone is worried about people driving on slippery roads. Being from Chicago, I think its a little ridiculous and over the top but it sure was fun to see snow again!
