So, my first semester of graduate school is finished! Christmas break will be consumed with working, some pleasure reading (yay for no textbooks!), and some t-shirt quilting. I've made several quilts for myself and others in the past few years, and I'll be making a few more over the break.
Also, I'll get to go home to the east coast for a week in January! Super excited to go back in the South and visit family and friends. Unfortunately, I won't be home for Christmas. But I'll take what I can get. And it'll be awesome to be at two weddings of some dear friends back home.
The thing I miss most about being home often is doing fun things with my family. Like going to the Rolex 24 hours of Daytona at the end of January. I've been for the past two years, and I'll be foregoing attending that super race for the next two January's. I'll sorely miss hanging out in the garage area with my dad watching Porsche's and Ferrari's be fiddled with and banged on at 1am. *sigh*
So... fun things I get to do on the west coast have been chronicled on my Facebook page. I fully expect that this blog will not be updated very often in the near future. If you know me, you probably appreciate the randomness.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

California Living
I almost forgot about my silly little blog here. These posts may be few and far between from now on!
I'm all settled in here in the San Francisco Bay Area! Graduate school is everything I thought it would be -- lots of reading and writing! I have a new job... at Starbucks!
The area out here is beautiful, with the hills, water, and city sights. I have photos posted on Facebook, so if you're my friend on Facebook, go check those out! I often tweet pictures, too.
Amazingly, I have been here for over a month, and haven't made it to an MLB game yet! There are two teams easily accessible to me, and I've yet to see a game! I need to get on that if I hope to catch one before the season's over.... BUT, I did go to an NFL pre-season game with some new friends... watched the Saints maul the Raiders! :-)
The time difference between the east coast and west coast can be quite much, sometimes; college football starts pretty early on Saturday mornings out here! The good news is that the big Florida State/Oklahoma game this Saturday will start at 5 Pacific time! GO NOLES!
On that wonderful note, I shall go back to studying. Maybe I'll feel the urge to post another update soon, with fun stuff like pictures!
::In Christ alone my hope is found::
Check out this video for the song that has been a huge encouragement to me lately...

Real Life
I've had some pretty cool adventures in my young life. I'm only 24 years old, but have traveled the world, traveled this great country, and had the time of my life with friends and family.... and it's only getting started!
I'm moving in 3 short days to the San Francisco Bay area in northern California for graduate school. Even though I've seen the world, this Southern girl has never lived outside the great state of Florida. I'm greatly looking forward to living (for a few years) in the beautiful Bay Area (that I visited a few years ago with friends).
Here is a look back at a few great adventures I've had over the years that haven't been showcased in my (mostly pathetic) blog thus far...
Family cruise to the Bahamas... 2001
Istanbul, Turkey :: 2006
Building a church in Jamaica :: December, 2007
San Francisco cable car 2008
Rebekah, Lauren, David
Rebekah and Lauren :: Cruise to Mexico, 2009
Rachel, Sarah, Rebekah :: Brazil 2009
