Oh Spring....

I love this time of year.

I love the days when its finally warm.

If you know me at all, you know that I hate winter.

I miss my flip-flops and my shorts and not having to wear all sorts of heavy layers.

I love the sun and warmth.

The first day that I can break out my rainbows and not freeze my toes off is a lovely day.

The first sunburn of the season- love it!!

The first time that my extra pale legs see the sun is very wonderful!

And if you haven't been on UNC's campus in the spring- you are missing out!


But this time of the year is also miserable for me..

Chapel Hill is covered in green.

The bricks (that cover the campus and trip us all day long), they are no longer red- they are yellow.

Already!

I can't walk outside without my eyes itching, my nose running and lots of sneezing.

And I take medicine.

I like being outside.

I've started running- I can only run outside, I hate the gym with a passion.

But being outside is miserable.


So, I'm asking-

Can anyone sympathize with my misery?

Do you have any advice, suggestions, ways to not be miserable that doesn't involve staying inside all the time?

I could sure use some help!!

Headed to Florida

Friday 3-4-11

On the Tuesday before Spring break began, my grandfather passed away. And so, as soon as K got in at the airport Friday morning, my dad, K and I drove down to Florida for the funeral and to see the family. 

I took this picture while driving down. I also love the way that roadsigns and stuff look while you're going somewhere. don't really know why. 

Bear with me

I was coming home late from a friends house and still hadn't taken a picture yet. Whoops... So I was going to find something to take a picture of in my room, another super boring one of my laundry or something haha. 

But when I pulled up to my house, what did I find but three deer eating from our front bushes. Like literally feet in front of my house. So, of course, I had to take a picture! But, I didn't have my nice camera, it was pitch dark, and I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous to get to close, was not trying to get attacked by some crazy deer. 

So, here is the best picture that I was able to snap as I was somewhat chasing the deer away through our front lawn. 

All you can really see are the creepy eyes, but trust me they were there.

It is the end of October right?

Saturday 10-23-10

There's no red leaves down here yet. In fact, my dad's roses are still blooming. 

I mean it is fall right? Halloween is next week isn't it?

17 days!!

Leaf season

Thursday 10-21-10

I have lots of pictures from today, but lets start with the one of the view of where we stayed. Even their view of their driveway is absolutely gorgeous. And their driveway is ridiculously steep, but I managed it like a pro! 

We spent Thursday morning driving on the parkway and enjoying the scenery. It's so beautiful this time of year, I wanted to stop and take pictures every few minutes. Thankfully, Kara was willing to be my picture-taker since I was driving and driving while taking pictures is not exactly safe. 

We hiked at this beautiful place called Graveyard Fields where there is a waterfall and lots of places to hike. 

I took a ton more pictures, but I don't want to bore you all. I'll put the rest of them up on my facebook page! 

19 days!!

The View from the top

Well the 7th floor at least.

Saturday 9-25-10

Spent the afternoon studying in the 7th floor lounge of Davis that I was talking about the other day. Isn't it an awesome view? Don't worry, K, I didn't spend all day there. I also babysat and went to dinner, but I did get a nice head start on work. I started a paper that isn't due for 2 whole weeks!! That's amazing isn't it?!?
