Getting used to change..

Change is a funny thing... I don't think anyone every really likes change (at least I don't) yet for some reason once the change has happened most people stop complaining.. or find something new to complain about. For example... I hate the beginning of winter. Literally it takes everything I have to get out of my nice warm bed every morning when I read on my iPhone that its 17 degrees outside (that is while I'm in Norman- not in Houston)... But after a month or so of the winter although I long for the summer months my body has gotten used to the change of the cold air and I stop complaining about it.

A big change that has just recently occurred has you may know is that Scott moved to Texas. As excited as I am for him and his future career I can't lie- I hate the change! He got to move back to Norman for 3 months which in retrospect doesn't sound like a long time however it felt like a long time while he was here. I quickly took for granted being able to have face-to-face conversations with him and the option to just take a short 5 minute car ride over to his house to hang out. Now that he lives 8 hours away I'm dreading the change. Skype is helpful but never the same as face-to-face conversation. This isn't the first time Scott and I have done long distance so I know that we'll be just fine going through it and that I'll get used to not having him around all the time, but it still stinks to have your best friend so far away.

Well enough of my sob stories... Here is some work that I recently did of an previous co-worker's family. I think we decided to take pictures on the coldest day yet of the season and the wind was blowing like crazy! Luckily they were all troopers and I'm really glad she asked me to take their photos!!






Thanks for stopping by!! Pray for me and my studying for finals this week.. I've got so much left to do and only a week left to do it in! Soon it will be Christmas and I'll get to be home with my family and Scott!

Winter is here!

It has gotten very chilly up here in Norman.. it's this time of year that I realize how much I miss living in the heat of Houston. I love snow and skiing and all things winter but when it's just miserably windy and cold for no reason other to be cold I'm not a happy camper!

Classes are coming to a close for the semester.. looking back on this semester it seems like it went by super fast. I don't know if it's just a coincidence or what but I feel like this was one of my hardest semesters yet which was how it was first semester of Junior year in high school as well (actually ALL of junior year was hard). I'm exciting for several of my classes next semester and I'm just ready for a new fresh start..

Scott leaves on Monday for Bastrop to start his new job with MD Anderson! It's all so surreal.. I'm sure I'll be very sad on Monday after he leaves but more than anything I'm just so excited for him and everything that this is going to do for him and his future! Luckily he's coming to Houston to spend Christmas with my family so it won't be long before we'll get to see each other again.

Not much else is going on with me.. I'll try to post something and some pictures next week of some work I've been doing this weekend!
