First Day of Fall

To ring in the first day of fall, I bought these lovelies!

I saw them at HEB (best grocery store ever) the other day but made myself wait until it was October/fall to buy them...well i couldn't hold out any longer! It was a fun way to celebrate the solstice!





And today, even though it was soo cloud & rainy all day long, i loved it! The air was so fresh and cool outside. I didn't even mind (too terribly) my hair getting completely fuzzled by all the humidity haha



I am in such a good mood! School feels easier, or I'm less stressed about it, because it doesn't feel like we have as much info as before...but I think that I am just getting used to the crazy work load! Although, I am in the habit of studying at the medical school library from 6-midnight so it was hilarous when i got home last night to this....




Haha my roommates said that they couldn't believe I spent so much time at the library and they were convinced that I must have a secret life or be having a hot love affair at school haha! Giulia said she tried to put Steve (the skeleton) in a sexy pose hahaha...I have the best roomies :)

And to top off all of this funness- I have two pints of ice cream waiting for me two hurry up and study Histology!! yum! Here I come mint chocolate chip & rocky road! (which Bella seems to like!)




p.s. isn't this an awesome wedding idea: this couple was married at the Santa Barbara Zoo! Complete with a Giraffe-feeding session after the ceremony!

Everybody go see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!! it's HILARIOUS!!
And it snows ice cream in it too! Best snow ever!


haha and check out this dog:

Night Post Block Final

That's what I felt like doing...screaming before the exam but now

...the big, bad, scary test is over...!!
and in it's place: Margaritas, Weezer's blue album, awesome roomies, wine, dog pettings, & Stranger than Fiction.

I have been neglecting my bloggo because medical school has eaten up all of my time. nahm, nahm, nahm... all gone!
But I have been sooooo entirely blessed to have such a wonderfully supportive & loving family. Every day I count my blessings. I have received mail from my mom, aunt & grandma...and this past week my amazingly thoughtful aunt sent me a care package full of goodies for relaxing post-exam, which I am sure to use! And I get visits with gifts of pretty flowers like this:



Tomorrow we start back up. But it's just nice that I'm loving my life, no matter where I am or how tired I get...
Life is good.
<3

p.s. if medical school doesn't work out, I'm becoming a baker just like Ana Pascal!
