We're back!

Our rainboots, all in a row!

I am so blessed to have wonderful roommates that are also great friends!

Snow Day

The mountain

The building in DeMoss Hall, where most of my classes are.

And the big dome building is the Vines Center,
our arena for basketball games and where we have chapel.
My RA Lindsi, sledding down the hill.
The sleds of choice were trays from the dining hall!

Yep, that's right, a snow day! Last Thursday, we got maybe 2 inches or so of snow and apparently Virginians aren't as used to the fluffy white stuff! For us students, it was a wonderful day of relaxing and playing in the snow. Needless to say, I was already awake, showered, dressed, and ready for class when I found out, but I promptly went back to bed. :) Me and my roommates enjoying getting to hang out together and we had lots of friends in our room to watch the show House. An overall great day!

Good Bye Ohio

Spending a little more time with the family before heading back to Va...

Friends!

One nice part about having a long Christmas break is that I got to

visit a lot of my friends that I haven't seen in a while. My friend Jen, who

now lives in San Diego, CA had everyone over for dinner and games.

Everyone's home!
Then we went to the movies...

The Christmas Story

Cousins everywhere!

This year for Christmas, Grandma Hofacker's house was filled with excitement

and fun, with family coming in from Minnesota, Virginia, and even Florida.

It was so good to spend time with family!!
