It's almost Christmas break...

and I'm sorry! But rather than tell you and 40 year-old-me all the reasons I've been away, I'll save us all a lot of trouble and let it suffice to say that I've been so, so busy with school (and watching all of the Harry Potters), that I just didn't. That's okay!

So a quick recap:

October 2010

  There were roasted s'mores+

 

my first away game at Tennessee +

 

an awfully wonderful Halloween.

November 2010

 

There was Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, and Hermione Granger in our living room

+

 

a midnight showing of Harry Potter 7 (plus I finished the books!) +

  

one chilly, wet, sad Iron Bowl.

(props to us for smiling anyway, I say!)

Along with these things, there were lots and lots of tests, a couple trips home, yoga, Netflix (one of the best purchases I've ever made), and some freakin' awesome banana bread. That sums it up, but hey, in my future, there is a 34 day break. Do you know what that means? 

It means sleep. 

It means home cooked (not by me) meals. 

It means movie nights.

It means Christmas tress and filled-up stocking and a baby in a manger.

It means being across the room from my family, not 120 miles down Highway 82.

It means no tests for at least 34 days.

It means lots of time with these guys:

 

And it probably means more blog posts!
