Merry Christmas!

I can't believe I haven't blogged since December 6th!

Since I've been off work, I have spent a lot of time with the puppy!

And catching up on sleep....

I am fully rested and ready for a new semester now, but I'm so excited I still have another week off!

Since I've been on Christmas break I've...

Spent time with family and friends...

I've taken lots of walks with sweet Hazel, in my new kicks...

Completed a few puzzles with the hubby...

Started reading books... FOR FUN!

Watched lots of movies and Modern Family Season 3...

(Hazel hid beside the couch during one movie!)

And loved on my sweet puppy!

As you can tell, it was no exaggeration that I've spent a lot of time loving on my puppy!  Hazel met LOTS of family and friends.  She is purely exhausted.

David and I are going to enjoy some time in the mountains before life gets crazy again.

We are going to visit Asheville, NC and the Biltmore!  We are so excited!

I hope you had a MERRY CHRISTMAS as well!

wonderful wednesday

It has been an absolutely wonderful Wednesday! Today, I had the day off of school! I did have to spend it at a professional learning conference, but the conference was AWESOME, so no complaints from this girl. PLUS, the conference was in my town so I got to sleep in and I got off earlier than normal!! Woo hoo for Wednesday! I will share some of the cool things I learned another time, because today is... What I'm Pinteresting Wednesday!

First up, can someone PLEASE teach me how to do this with my hair! My hair is perfect for it, I just need a teacher!

Another great ice cube tray idea! Pour your left over coffee into a ice cube tray each time and freeze it. Once you have enough, add your favorite flavorings (sugar, etc.) or nothing at all, blend it! Now you have a made-at-home frap!

Okay, now Pinterest is on my side. I absolutely LOVE all things burlap and monogrammed. Combine that with something to keep my Diet Coke cold while I drink it and you have won me over for life! Check out how precious these koozies are!!

"Do you know what tonight is?" That is the question I ask fiance when he has time off from law school on Wednesday nights. Modern Family is our favorite show!!!! And Phil, is of course one of my favorite characters!

And lastly, I love this bedroom. Well, everything but the bed skirt. Color stripes, no thanks. Other than that, it's simple and cute!

And I almost forgot! I'm really into steak salads these days! Doesn't this look yummy?!
