Bits & Pieces

As I reflect over the craziness of the past few weeks I realized I have left out a few bits & pieces here and there.
So tonight I'm going to catch you up on some of the small things that went on here!
The beginning of December marked the end of something else.
In July, around the time I really started blogging here I also started journaling.
Nearly every night I wrote about the things that I can't write about on here.
So for 4-1/2 months I wrote in my beautiful purple journal and now I have switched over to my clean fresh white journal.  It's not much to you guys, but it's pretty exciting for me.

On December 3rd I had my first "photo shoot".
I have so much to learn!
A fellow AFROTC cadet asked Bud if I would be willing to take a senior picture for him that he could gift to his Mom for Christmas.
We set a time and place and I showed up nervous and afraid that I wouldn't capture what I wanted to.
Well here it is:

AZ's Senior photo!  This is on the UT campus on 21st Street.
That's a fairly iconic fountain and having the UT tower in the
background was a requirement ;)

That evening we went out with ROTC for the end of semester tradition...dinner at Salt Lick BBQ.
If you aren't from TX you don't know what your missing.
If you are from TX or you plan to visit TX you should definitely put it on your places to eat!

Sitting next to one of our FAVORITE couples!  JF & MS!

 

Partial group picture.  We had to take 4 separate photos just to get all the people, approx 100!

On December 5th Bud & I celebrated our 9 year dating anniversary.
April will be our 7 year wedding anniversary.
It's amazing how time flies when your having fun!

Our 1st Valentine's day, 2 months after we started dating.

Finally, last night was the Senior dinner at Colonel's house.
At the end of each semester they have the seniors over and honor the ones who graduated.
It was a lot of fun to dress up a little and socialize with everyone.

MS & JF at Col's...JF was supposed to be taking a photo of us.

Take 1....MS being a creeper haha

Take 2..a good photo!

Anyways there are some bits & pieces of the last few weeks.
We just finished watching the ORIGINAL 1980s version of TRON.  It was Bud's first time....it's amazing to see how different movies are now.
Time to settle in and watch some of Season 2 Dexter with the hubby.
I hope everyone has a blessed Saturday night.
