Snowy Snapshots

Just a few pictures from the first real snow on Sunday:) It didn't really stick to much and it stopped after a few hours but it was enough to make me happy!

Over New Years Eve we went to the beach for a quick little trip. We got there, spent the night spent all of New Years Eve day and night there and woke up the next morning and came home. It was kinda cold and rainy while we were there but it's okay we still had fun!

I snapped a few pictures that I thought that I would share. The porch on our room had a little gate that opened up the the cute path and also out to the pool. We of course didn't get in the pool but it made for a cute picture. They had tea and coffee out in the hallways of the hotel each morning and we got donuts from a place called Duck Donuts that has the best donuts! I think that last picture is a good representation of how the weather was.

We went to a cute little book store while we were there, ate at some cute restaurants and went shopping! It seems like the majority of the businesses at this beach closes from the beginning of January up until March, when spring break starts, so at lot of the stores always have good sales which is always a good thing! We also walked on the beach while we were there and there was nobody out there but us! It was again cold and rainy which probably explained it but there were some really big shells out on the beach (probably because no one else was out there to pick them up). My brother ended up spotting a huge spiral shell that had a hole in the side of it but was still something that you rarely actually see on the beach so I grabbed it! We watched the ball drop and I ended up sitting out of the porch of our room for the first hour or two of new years which as kinda cool too.

I hope your New Years was enjoyable and you were able to bring in 2016 in the best way possible

XOXO

A Peak into My Christmas

There are train tracks and a path that goes next to my dads office, so one day my dad went down to the tracks to pick up some coal that had fallen off trains to put in bags, and stick in our stockings. While he was down there looking, a guy fishing asked my dad what he was looking for and my dad said that he was looking for coal, and the guy goes "Gold?!?!"

Here's a little peak into my Christmas yesterday, what some of my family got, and a few things that I got, and what we did! It's is oddly warm here and on Christmas day we actually got to go on a walk and I wore shorts! Usually it is cold here on Christmas so its been kinda different. I guess I now have an appreciation for winter in water climates, although I kinda like the cold and kinda miss that it isn't cold here yet. Hopefully that will change soon!

I have one more Christmas post that will be up in the next few days but I'll let it be a surprise what it is about...

Merry Christmas From my Family to Yours,

Facelift?

Hello blogging world!!

I am happy to say that after hours of work and HTML code reading I have given my blog a facelift! It been long overdue and there were a few things that I wanted to change around so please take a look around!

The formatting of my posts has changed so anything posted from here on out will look a little different. The title and date has been centered on all my old posts and my new posts will have (hopefully) pictures that will go to the edges of my post and be nice and equal.

As for the blog itself the navigation bar at the top has some new pages that I hope you will check out along with the search bar and the category section one the right side of the site! A few other little cosmetic issues where fixed such as centering areas and basic tweeks but hey whats needed will be done.

A forewarning, there are still a few things that over the next few days I may be changing and adding so if you stop by my blog and something looks wonky thats probably why. There are a few more things that I would like to add to the right had some and some changes that still need to be made. I also would like to spruce up the footer of my post and maybe add a few more surprise changes!!

Anyways, I hope you take a look around at all the new and exciting things going on and check back in a few days for some exciting posts!!

XOXO

100th

Hello blogging world!

So bear with me this post is going to be all over the place but please keep reading.

First off I would like to say that this IS MY 100th POST!! What even is this?! I guess I should say that this is my hundredth post published. I currently have a few in drafts and one that I posted and then deleted (whoops haha) but this is now my hundredth post and Im not going to delete anything before this so it wills tay that way!

Anyways I knew that I was getting close to the big 100 and I wanted to do like a flashback post or something, However, this fell directly after the blog birth post (check it out if you haven't seen it yet) and I did the flashback for that one. I would do one for this too if they weren't back to back posts so instead I'm going to leave you some things to look forward too in the next 100 posts(wow that seems like a lot now that I am saying that)

1) more outfit posts

2) more Music Monday Posts (stay tuned there is one already finished that will be going up next Monday about music in other languages;)

3) most posts about college at work!

4) more trips (yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy)

5) camera stuff maybe?

6) and hopefully a ton of stuff that even I don't know about yet!

Anyways as I am typing this I am sitting outside of an art museum in downtown I had to work on a project about observation. I am thinking about posting it here since I kinda like how it tuned out and hopefully you guys do too. Its different then anything else I have ever posted before which should be interesting. The project has to be turned in Wednesday so I will not be posting it before the due date but any time after that it could be posted.

But since of course I had my camera with me I took some photos to post today just cause I like it here and to get you excited for whats to come!!

Any guesses what you think I'm doing?

Can you spot the lady painting?^^

XOXO

UCI Road World Championships: Woman's Elite

Yes, I went to the races again.

Yes, I took my camera again.

No, this is not the last day that I went but I didn't get pictures that other day.

Yes, I'm really sad that its over! I miss it it was fun!

(P.S. I know the backgrounds are more in focus then the bikers but it is actually really hard to get an in focus picture of someone who is biking that fast!)

Fun Fact: For a while this guy was in the lead and you can see me taking THIS PICTURE of him in the live coverage of the race;)

Hope you enjoyed. Kinda crazy that this was in Richmond and I got to go to it. I know that a lot of people were complaining about it but I honestly enjoyed it a lot and it was fun going to see!! I think it was especially cool because instead of seeing some place that I have never been and don't recognize it was a place that I knew and watching it on TV I could see places that I have been and that I know! It even went through my college campus like what?!?

Congrats to everyone who was able to win this past week, UCI Road World Championships I miss you already!

XOXO
