Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa....

Fall Break.

Most everyone has gone home, including myself. It feels weird being back after living away for even just these past couple of months. It's like i'm living in this past life; something that I knew as a lifestyle has turned into merely a short vacation.

Yesterday I decided that I wanted to go for a run. I can't even remember the last time that I went for an actual run outside, not on the treadmill at the gym. The crisp, fall temperature was perfect running weather so I slipped on the old sneakers and headed out for my jog. The first thing that I remember thinking was "I missed this." Being alone with your thoughts is something that doesn't occur often in dorm life. I was having such an enjoyable experience being outdoors, I almost forgot I was exercising.

Almost. Then the shin splints kick in...

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

So a basic recap- school is going really well. I really enjoy most of my classes. I'm finally getting a little bit used to how uncomfortable these beds are. The food still sucks but it just makes me appreciate other food way more. Soccer is awesome. And, Brooke and I both talk in our sleep.

Last Friday, me and Brooke put on our lucky socks and went to work at our soccer game. Apparently they really are lucky, because we kicked butt. :]

Later, a few of us hiked to the "U" on the mountain. Breathtaking view and a great time for self-reflection. 

On Sunday, Brooke and I took a trip to that school down south to visit with some old friends. It was so good to see familiar faces, even if it was at the Y. We represented as well as we could.

Zachary's birthday. Cookie cake followed by an epic water gun fight. Many more to come.

And finally, homecoming night. Brooke and Jenni with their dates.

Football game tonight, a kind soul hooked me up with a ticket and I'm freaking excited. 

GO UTES!
