80's Night

On our dorm, we have a hall meeting every Tuesday at 10 for

our RAs to go over announcements and let us know what's

going on around campus. Occassionally, they pick a theme and

we all dress up. Last week's theme

was 80's night, which we definitely had fun with!

Awesome Christmas Present!

Over Christmas break, my friend and prayer group member, Jamie,

painted this picture for me! It is so gorgeous- I was amazed! Isn't she talented??

I love it! It's hanging up on my wall, and we always say we wish we could

climb right into it and be at the beach instead of going to classes. :)

Painting Lesson

Well, over break, it was been brought to my attention that I don't blog regularly enough

for a few of my faithful followers. :) So, my new year's resolution is to stay on top

of blogging so I can keep in touch with everyone back home! The first few weeks

of classes have been busy getting back into the swing of things, but it's been really

good to visit and catch up with friends. Now it's time to catch up on studying!

This is what I did with a little free time:

Jamie gave Lisa, Anglea, and I a little painting lesson! It was a ton

of fun (minus a little paint spill and clean up! lol) and very relaxing.

This is the finished product- my first real painting!

I was practicing my palm tree painting:
