Merry Christmas!

Goodbye Grad School

After 6 months of internships, I finally graduated with my Master's degree.  The past 2.5 years have flown by and I'm grateful that I was able to go back to school.  Now it's time to relax and enjoy the holidays before I start work on January 13th.

Happy Birthday Maw-Maw!

We drove to Beaumont the weekend after Thanksgiving to celebrate Maw-Maw's 80th Birthday!

Stay Classy, San Diego

I spent a few days in San Diego to present my research poster at the AOTA conference.  The weather was awesome, and we had some pretty nice views.

Photo-A-Day: Key

Even though I didn't keep up with the pictures in February, I'll see how March goes.

One of the perks of living in an old house is finding the original skeleton keys that still work in some of the doors.

Houston

We made a trip down to Houston for a wedding.  On Friday night, we met up with Sarah and Nelson in College Station since we were passing through.  On Saturday morning, we headed downtown for the Rodeo Run.  I ran the whole 3.3 miles without stopping :)

Becca and I both recently bought new shoes, not knowing that we bought the same pair.

While we were running, Coy stayed with my mom and Audrey.  I think she's pretty fond of her Uncle Boogie.

Photo-A-Day: Where You Ate Lunch

The cafeteria at school.

Photo-A-Day: 3 O'Clock

I worked a double shift today, so I was busy feeding kiddos at 3:00.

Photo-A-Day: Guilty Pleasure

We went out for Mexican food for my "splurge" meal this week. I won a gift card for On the Border from a recruiter at school yesterday, so I didn't feel too guilty about it.

Photo-A-Day: Your Name

One of my classmates and I presented our research poster today at school.  Never thought I'd see my name on anything like this :)

Photo-A-Day: Soft

Lots of fluffy clouds on my drive home from Dallas.

Photo-A-Day: Hope

Just a little word about hope from my "Jesus Lives" devotional.

Photo-A-Day: Something that starts with "E"

I'm continuing the photo-a-day for February. Even though I don't post everyday, it's fun to do it every once on awhile.

So, here's my picture of eggs that I boiled today for something that starts with "E". Exciting, huh?

Photo-A-Day: Yourself

Here I am after a much needed haircut.

Photo-A-Day: Stripes

It's not hard to find stripes in this town!

Photo-A-Day: Delicious

Dinner tonight consisted of steak, salad, and a baked potato. Yum!

Photo-A-Day: Ready

Ready to go workout. There's a free kickboxing class that I go to at a local church. It's even close enough for me to walk there.

Photo-A-Day: An Ordinary Moment

Coy's favorite place to relax and watch TV.

Photo-A-Day: Something Yellow

This is our lovely 1970's kitchen floor. We'll eventually replace this gem.

Photo-A-Day: Surprise

This was a nice little surprise this morning. Starting to see a few pounds disappear since I've started counting calories. I'm also surprised I've kept up with the photo-a-day challenge so far :)

Photo-A-Day: Water

I finally broke my Diet Coke habit and have been drinking more water. I've been constantly filling this thing up.

Photo-A-Day: One O'Clock

At 1:00, I was hot gluing flowers to this wreath. I was looking for a wreath that I could hang up year-round and saw this on Pinterest.

Photo-A-Day: Paper

I'm memorizing 2 bible verses a month.  I started doing it last year, but stopped once I got busy with school.  I'm determined to follow through with it this year, so I bought a cute little journal to write all of my verses in.

Photo-A-Day: Something Beginning with "T"

Textbooks. My last time to buy textbooks since this is my last semester of classes before I start my internships.

Photo-A-Day: Street

The view of the street on my run/walk today. I completely fell off the running wagon, so I started back on Day 1 of Couch to 5k.

Photo-A-Day: Mine

Love my personalized planner! Even with all of the technology, I still like to write things down in a paper planner.
