So, Shea and I had our 2nd anniversary on December 16th! He took me to Fonda San Miguel (it was a surprise). I had never been there; the food was amazing. We even had my favorite dessert ever, Tres Leches cake. Then we went to the 37th Street lights--this is a mini tradition because we went there on our first date. This is us at the lights this year:



I got these lovely flowers:



Along with a video game I've wanted forever (Paper Mario), and a gift certificate to a fancy spa! My appointment is this Friday. I'm having a Signature Aroma-Reflex Pedicure and an Indian Head Massage. I've never had a massage before.

Then, my cousin Megan (see link to the right) came to visit me for a few days after Christmas! She lives in Chicago for now. I hadn't seen her in forever! We got to talk politics and global warming and current events and all the things everyone should be talking about and it was great. And I liked hearing about all her adventures (and actually, there's one particular follow up adventure that I need to call her and get the scoop on). Anyway, did you know she's been to Africa? If you see her, ask her what her favorite and least favorite things about it were. She loves that. Just kidding.

Other than that I'm just enjoying my break. Two of the funnest girls I know--Raquel and my neighbor Brittani--and I went to Blue Hanger last week. I found a vintage blouse and scarf (I used to hate the word "blouse" but now I love it. Blouse blouse blouse!) and a couple of shirts for Shea.

I also rearranged all of the living room furniture.

I've also had like four cups of coffee today.

The other big thing is that I'm all registered for school! I even got my ID and the photo isn't bad! Except that I'm sort of posing which is mildly embarrassing. Ha! On the plus side, I found out you can use UT ID cards to ride any bus for free, AND there's a bus that stops right by the house and right by the school. It's like a 4 minute ride.

My classes are still up in the air as I'm waitlisted for a couple of them (why they have new students for the spring register after just about everyone on the planet has already registered is unclear), but one that I'm really excited about is French! I took it in HS, and while I learned a little, I still couldn't understand spoken French to save my life.

So my first day is Tuesday, and I'll tell you all about it!

xoxo,
Sarah

PS-I had a dream last night that I went on a motorcycle race through the jungle, and two of my competitors were Mel Gibson and Joan Collins. If that doesn't deserve space on the internet, I don't know what does.
