"May the Odds Ever Be In Your Favor"

Today is the DAY!!!

Soccergirl and I have been counting down the days since November!  The story goes, I promised as her birthday present, that I would read the whole trilogy and go to the midnight premiere together.  

Little did I know just how much I'd like the books.  I read them for the first time over winter break and I loved them!  Right after I finished the first book I started drooling over the movie trailers, I was hooked.  

I literally just watched the trailer again and my hands are red from clapping so hard (I clap when I'm excited/happy)  

In just a few hours I'll be enjoying some popcorn with sour patch kids (we all know it's the best combination known to man) with my Sis watching THE HUNGER GAMES!

holiday socks and comfy sweats

 
   Finished my first week of the winter semester!  I'm already ahead of some of my homework assigned (yeaah!)  I strangely like being on campus four times a week, I actually see people!  In one day alone I saw not just one but five people I knew, talk about an answer to prayer and campus size shrinking!

   I think all the stress of new classes and first week craziness has knocked the wind out of my sails.  All I want to do is curl up with some Ben and Jerry's and watch a good chick flick.  Realistically, I don't want to wake up tomorrow with a growing waste line, so instead I'm munching on some m&ms in my comfy sweats and holiday socks!

Ugly sweaters are everywhere! (photo heavy)

Yep, you guessed it!  An ugly sweater party was had, plus a white elephant exchange and a photo booth was thrown in for good measure.  Great fun!

Our lovely photo booth, the tinsel adds to the tackiness

 Photo booth OVERLOAD!!

(awkwardness may be involved)

Awkward family picture? Yes!

 I wore my christmas socks with pride

  I'll leave you with this lovely piece of Christmasy awkwardness!

To celebrate the end of the semester the Girls and I decided to live it up!  We attend a 100% hipster concert, some pretty sweet tunes were played, plus the proceeds went towards feeding children in Africa.  After traveling to Kenya two years ago, there is no cause closer to my heart!   

Bathroom pictures are a must with bright lime green walls. :)

Man do I have some gorgeous girlfriends!

26 days!

Can you believe that Christmas is in 26 DAYS!!!  I can't get used to just how fast this year is flying by!  Even though it isn't December yet, I'm ready to get in the Christmas spirit!

Last night was the annual downtown shops Christmas light reveal!  Got together with friends and headed out with our cameras in tow.

Little library bathroom detour before we hit the streets!  Couldn't pass up a classic mirror picture, complete with diva poses.

Christmas excitement, even the rain couldn't stomp out our excitement! 

Love driving through downtown at Christmas time, so pretty with each individual building a different color.

Even though we were soaked (yep, that's rain not snow) a good time was had by all!

The crunch of crispy leaves under foot.

Saturday adventures with friends.

Golden leaves in the sunshine.

Giggles hiding under leaves.

Searching for pumpkins.

Decorating candles.

Sparkly costumes.  

These are the things that make fall special to me!

Linking up with these lovely ladies for a followers fest!!  A little online autumn party, what could be better?!!
