Ever since 7th grade, I really wanted to learn how to skateboard. My parents even bought me a board when I was 12 so that I could learn. Of course, I'm a classic, accident-prone, clutz so my skateboarding career never really took off. Tony Hawk would be disappointed. I kept that skateboard thou[...]
Let's be honest, Noah Davis from the latest season of American Idol is all of us when it comes to alpacas. Who wouldn't want an alpaca companion? They are fluffy, cute, and come in pairs! You know what else pairs well with Alpacas? Wine! That's why Peach Creek Vineyard's Alpaca and Wine Festival[...]
If you read my blog then there is good chance that you know I enjoy wine. I, however, do not drink beer at all. With that said, in Janarury I did take a tour of the Abita Brewery in Abita Springs, Lousiana. It was so fasinating! I knew a bit about breweying beer from my enology classes (th[...]
Howdy! It's a well-established fact that I am a coffee addict. What can I say, it taste good, it helps you stay alert, and coffee shops always have the best atmosphere. I love going to different shops and studying or catching up with friends! My love for coffee shops spawned this idea that wha[...]
Howdy y'all! Goodness, it feels like yesterday I first went to Gilliam's Sunflower Festival in Lousiana. It's hard to believe that was two years ago! But as Aggies like to say, if it happens twice it's a tradition! My good friend Tay and I now have ourselves a tradition then! We once again venture[...]
Howdy! Wow, Christmas is over and I've had all my wisdom yanked out of my mouth (you know you live in a small city when your doctor removing your teeth is also the mayor). Luckily I had the chance to go to Jefferson, Texas before the holiday. Jefferson is one of the cutest towns. It got more[...]
Howdy! Two weeks ago I was able to drive down to see my grandparents in Slidell, Louisiana. For those who don't know where that is, it's a hop, skip, and a jump across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. A lot like a suburb really. I always love going to visit them! It's relaxing[...]
Howdy! I love the sun, and I love the beach, and I love good company. That is why my trip to Galveston, Texas after finals (but before I moved back home) was fantastic! Of course, Island Boy came along with me! Part of the reason we decided to take a day trip to Galveston (other than it being only 2[...]
Sorry for the multiple week hiatus! Between my summer 1 finale (which not to brag but a made I a 105 on! woohoo!), Independence Day, and just hanging out with friends I haven't really checked my blog much. I am back, though! This weekend I went on a trip down to San Marcos with one of my frie[...]
This past week has been chop full of so many important decisions. As several of y'all may know I am transferring from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design to a university for landscape architecture. Texas A&M was my first choice since January, but I didn't hear back from t[...]
This Saturday I traveled to Louisiana with my great friend, Tay, to the Gilliam Sunflower Festival. I personally love small town festivals and celebrations. They have so much character, and everyone is out having a jolly good time! I found out about this festival while I was doing[...]
This week I drove down to Slidell, Louisiana to visit my mother's side of the family. Slidell is just across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans (roughly 25-35 mins away from New Orleans). It was nice to see my family. It had been around three years since the last time I had saw t[...]
Last week my sister graduated with her Master's degree from her school up in Ohio. She lives about an hour from the Canadian border. After her graduation, we stopped by her house (we saw her cute cat!), and then headed on to the border. They hire very no-nonsense people for the bor[...]
Gosh I love the suburbs, maybe it's because I grew up there or maybe just because it has a more relaxing appeal (although I am leaning towards the former), but every chance I have to get away from my dorm for peace and quite (I'm so incredibly sick of listening to the office because my roommat[...]
Howdy Y'all! Well, this past weekend I had the opportunity to go to an Apple Orchard with my roommate Megan and my friend Kitty. I've always wanted to go apple picking, so I am glad I finally go the chance to! My sister, mom, and I use to go blueberry picking back in East Texas. This reminded[...]
