deep in the heart of texas

well, day three of school and i am ready for another break.. this probably doesn't come as a huge surprise considering everything else that is going on. going back to texas and tennessee over break was so wonderful that i almost forgot i had to come back for another semester of school. i go back and fourth between not wanting to be in new york at school and not wanting to ever leave new england. toady, i am dreaming of days on the ranch. here are some pictures from our stay over winter break:

michael's mom was the only one to find anything on our arrowhead hunt. she found part of a spear head! it was very exciting.

look at those handsome men!

can you spot muffin (the dog)? we sure had a hard time. she blends in perfectly to the terrain on the ranch. needless to say, we misplaced her a couple times on our hunt. 

another little friend! look at those lil' legs scurrying across the road! so precious.

fill in the blank friday!

1. the holiday season is a time for reminding all of your friends and family how much they mean to you.

2. snow makes me so excited i can't even handle it. i become extremely giddy when i wake up to snow outside the window. i also love how quiet the streets are on super snowy days.

3. the best comfort food to eat when it's cold out is s'mac mac and cheese.

4. winter is the best time for everything.

5. i can hardly wait for ice skating!! i have a dream of skating on a frozen lake and i think this might be the year i make that dream come true. (side note: i didn't know bodies of water actually froze until i moved to new york. that doesn't happen in west texas.)

6. when it comes to holiday gifts i prefer to giving them! i love searching for the right gift for every one and then being so excited to share it with them.

7. if i were to rate my excitement about the holiday season on a scale from 1-10, I would say I am at about a 9. i was originally going to say 10, but the stress and exhaustion that comes with finals takes me down a point(:
