All the random things

I am trying so hard to update this thing regularly.

The only thing I am regular about is missing the updates.

Oh well.

This post is dedicated to all the random things that have happened since I returned from my summer field work in July.

Mainly a post of random photos and stories I have removed from my phone.

So, here goes.

JULY

So...sometimes I don't replace things for A LONG time.

Like clothes (not too bad),

shoes (meh),

makeup...

yeah, still using a blush and other things from high school...a decade ago.

That is wrong.

It also explains why every time I wore makeup my face broke out.

So I replaced it and it was a fun thing to do.

So I documented it with pictures because I am such a major dork.

Also, before and afters are kind of fun.

AUGUST

I cut my own hair but I talked about that here.

Outside of that I did my work,

hung out in my hammock (best purchase of all time),

did a lot of walking around Durham,

got acquainted with various berries in an effort to be more healthy,

learned some Snapchat tricks from Pond,

and found a brand of flour whose name is what little Tyler used to call me when he was a wee lad.

There was a moment of homesickness there.

SEPTEMBER

More walking.

More eating.

By the way, that is the best pizza of all time.

Be jealous, very jealous.

I also got a fitbit which was the best choice I have made in a while.

I finished the month going to Spain (see here) and going out for hot chocolate with my visiting teachers who gave me this marvelous bath basket.

On September 30th I walked about Durham and realized that 1 year ago that day I left the good old U.S. of A.  

OCTOBER

1 year in Durham.

That blows my mind.

I really can't process it.

Starting this new semester I am walking/running in the mornings.

It gives a good opportunity for pictures.

This last Monday was awesome because it was particularly foggy. 

This last weekend was also General Conference and I was blessed to watch it live.

More walking pictures.

Oh Durham, you are so lovely.

So, there are the random pictures for the last bit.

If I start to post regularly, these posts will get smaller.

I promise.
