i'm back.

why hello there blog,

it's been a while.

between school, and friends, and everything else life has to offer i've been a pretty busy kid...

aaand i've let my blog become a bit neglected.

but thanks to the help of my two biggest stalkers, allie and sarah, i'm hopping back on the blogging horse,

well i'm going to try anyways.

some of the things i've been up to as of lately is tye-dye.

mel brought a kit up to school and we've become obsessed.

carter plays hockey and so we decided to become the best fans he's ever had by making some fun t-shirts for him...messy, but completely worth it!

mel and adam.

chrissy and nick.

we gave nick the camera and obviously he wasn't really worried whether or not we were ready for the picture to be taken.

i've spent some good quality time with these two.

love her!

chrissy and i were so happy to finally be out of the library for a change.

and finally we have carter, in all of his hockey glory.

he was one proud kid when he saw all of us lovely ladies reppin' our new shirts.

i've also been to a few more basketball and hockey games.

they just never seem to get old.

[please don't mind the milk jug. the garbage needed to be taken out.]

and of course you can't forget these people.

i spend every day with them, and they are the greatest.

most of my days are spent at the library with chrissy.

we've become pretty great friends her and i.

probably because of the fact that we "study" together for about 5 hours a day, but hey i'm ok with that.

she is such a fun girl.

we sometimes bring snacks and on this particular day we found our wheat thin with a hole in the middle of it...and after 5 hours of studying, we found it quite amusing.

i attended the best party period.

i celebrated mardi gras by flaunting a very flattering mask.

and then valentine's time came around.

i'll save the sappy gifts for another post but on the general day,

i stood in line to see the vow...

and then to top the night of we went to firehouse, my favorite.

except i didn't get the usual.

nope, it was a night of celebration...and they say go big or go home...

so we went big,

really big.

six people, 

one giant pizza.

fabulous night...

and let's not forget the cute shirts mel and i made especially for valentine's day!

and i guess i have some explaining to do.

i've received a number of texts asking about it.

i've been spending a large amount of time with this boy.

his name is carter.  we met in the laundry room.

he's a gem.

but no worries, there's no ring on the finger and there won't be for about...

well forever.

it's the cat lady life for me.

so no worries, it's nothing serious.

but we have quite the adventures.
