Reese is pretty freakin adorable :)

This is in dedication to my new room :) I have the biggest thank you to my mom for all her help, she packed and unpacked and carried and packed again with me so so many times, always looking out for my best interest and be the best mom God could have given me. My parents supported me through the change in school, not hesitating to give me time and resources to help me make the best of my college experience. There is no way for me to return repay everything they have done for me. 

The first Christmas in a long time were tradition was broken, yet it still was more fun than I could have ever hoped :) 

My most recent painting project of turning an rock into a realistic Armadillo. The hardest part was actually finding an armadillo shaped rock, which I owe all to my mom for successfully tracking one down :)

This is my pasta sculpture(s) for my one of my art finals. The assignment was to chose a collection of something (in this case pasta) and turn display it in an interesting way. The added twist is that the objects couldnt look like anything else. So I attempted to make them be a type of "building blocks". This was much more time intensive more difficult than I originally thought. Each pasta scupture took around 3 to 4 hours a piece, not counting the few I had to throw away because they were too similar to an everyday object. The one made out of spaghetti noodles took 7 hours to complete (my patience grew). I am proud of this project, it by no means is my finest work, but with how hard I worked on it, I am happy with its outcome.

There have been several Christmas events, but I have foolishly forgotten my camera for all of them except this recent cookie decorating :) But thats alright, because I am pretty proud of them!  I love how tiny they are

 There was never a better weekend then Thanksgiving Weekend! I was able to see my niece for the first time and held her every chance I could get :) I spent an enormous amount of time with the ones I loved.  The five days I got to spend at home soon had me feeling like I had never left. Nate even got to start a grease fire while cooking the turkey
