Be Thankful

My family is filled with adorable people. My grandpa was working at Karl's where he fixes furniture the day before Thanksgiving and to every customer he said, "Be Thankful." I love that! I haven't been to Spearfish since early July and thus it has been so lovely to be surrounded by my people. This is why Thanksgiving will always be my favorite holiday.

More and More Pottery

My sister, Brytten Noel called me two days before I was heading out to Spearfish for Thanksgiving asking for pottery which just thrilled me beyond belief. She uses pottery in the same way I do and even had to stop at Walgreens for a half hour on Thanksgiving Day to buy an assortment of makeup brushes to fill up three of the pots I gave her.

Clay Happiness

Creating ceramics makes me so ridiculously happy. I might even have dreams about it all. I love the feel of the whole process in my hand. Starting with the wet clay. Then the warmed, bisque-fired piece. Then the gooey-ness of the glaze wrapping itself around the piece. And then the final shiny pot. Here is a look at what has been created so far this semester.

Valid Excuse for New Shoes

Tomorrow will mark the second time Adam has been able to come home after we started our ridiculously long, long-distance relationship (1,260 driving miles and 1,040 miles in case you were wondering). As I anticipated him coming home the first time, I got so excited I had to buy something and the winning purchase was teal suede wedges. I reacted similarly in preparing for his second homecoming and bought a pair of leopard printed flats. Neither time did I put a whole lot of thought into the purchase but I somehow ended up in Target with coffee in my hand, to boot! Eventually I will have an entire closet of shoes that were purchased out of excitement for Adam coming home and I am perfectly fine with that notion.

PItiful Excuse for a Blogger

 Oh my goodness! I almost forgot how to do this. So, its been an awfully long time since I blogged and there is no decent excuse for this besides the fact that my senior year has happened. And what an amazing first three months of a senior year it has been! Here is a photo gallery of the last couple months and I promise with all my might I will become a regular blogger once again!
