Thanksgiving Break

I had a great Turkey holiday! Though I was driving home (9 hours) to Houston on my birthday, which was November 19, it wasn't bad at all. I had great company from my good friend, Sarah, and I was greeted warmly once I got home with an awesome home-made rib dinner and delicious strawberry cake! Just what I wanted. Also, I got some bad a** boots from my mom, I have worn them just about everyday since I've had them ;) and I also received such cute jewelry from Rachel and Camille and Evelyn got me an adorable margarita glass, hand painted with purses all over it. So cute! I can't wait to go home, officially, and use it with a good ole Texas margarita.

Strawberry Cake...Mmmmmm!

Bartow wasn't able to visit this Thanksgiving break but he had an amazing week himself, duck hunting and catching up with all his childhood friends. I love his friends, I'm jealous he got to spend the whole week with them.
I took Charlotte with me to Saint Dane's (a biker bar near downtown that is dog-friendly) so that was so fun! I met my good friend Ian there who brought his own black lab.
I got to go to Chuy's and have a couple of their famous swirled margaritas. If yall ever are in Houston, PLEASE go to Chuy's off of Westheimer, I don't know how the other ones are, but this one is my favorite! It is just so good and it's hilarious because it has all sorts of Elvis Presley memorabelia inside. The food is awesome and the drinks are even better. Just sayin'...
Anyway, I'm back in Oxford now, counting down the days til finals, til graduation, til HAWAII!!
Did I mention that I am going to Hawaii in December for New Years? Bartow's family soo graciously invited me to go with them to Maui for New Years. I am SO pumped!! I cannot wait! Thus, I'm dieting like hard core now because Mrs. Hawes and Bartow's brother's girlfriend, Christina, are like so beautiful and thin and tall, and I've been eating fried food in the South all semester. I'll let yall know how my diet's going once I start seeing results ;)

Til next time!
