It's here... 2016! A week has already passed and I'm still in disbelief that 2015 is over. Each year just seems to go by faster and faster. 2015 was a fun and exciting year and I can't wait to see what 2016 has in store for me, my friends, and my family. To help document this upcoming year and treasure memories I'm going to do a 365 day photo challenge. I'll take a photo every day of the year and share them here so I'll be able to look back at all the reasons I have to be thankful come December 31, 2016!
So, here goes... Week #1 (technically longer than a week since I included January 1-9)...
January 1 - I had the pleasure of spending New Years Eve with this beautiful girl the past two years. She is beautiful inside and out and is a wonderful mother. I am thankful for Nicole and her genuine friendship. I look forward to her guidance and advice when I have children in the future.
January 2 - About two years ago I started gathering shirts from my years in Fish Camp to have a t-shirt quilt made. I've been procrastinating and procrastinating, but at the urging of my mother (I'm so thankful she puts up with me) I finally drug out all of my t-shirts to get them ready for quilt making. These shirts mean so much to be because they symbolize the wonderful times I had in Fish Camp, how much I developed, and how many wonderful people I met. I'll be dropping them off soon and cannot wait to see the finished product!
January 3 - On Sunday, I spent the evening at Kellie's house. After finishing our chicken enchiladas (yay for new recipes!), we FINALLY broke into the macarons that we purchased in New York. Thankfully they freeze well. We thoroughly enjoyed them, however, the "Cheeto" flavored one was a little odd! I don't know if we'll be recreating that concoction.
January 4 - The first Monday of the new year and back to work! Thankfully I had the motivation to clean up my desk before I left for the holiday break so I came back to a nice, clean working area to settle back into. 2016, here we go!
January 5 - On Tuesday, Kellie , her mother, and I went to see Sherlock: The Abominable Bride. While the show typically plays on TV, it was a special and it was really great! Now Sherlock fans just have to wait another two or so year until the next 3-episode season comes out. Boo!
January 6 - On Wednesday, I'd made it to the half-way mark through the first week of work. It won't get too crazy in College Station until students return for classes on January 19. Best part about that means that roads and restaurants are generally empty. After work, I had a glass of wine while baking goodies for work's January birthday celebration. I even got to break out these two cookbooks that I purchased on my trip to New York in October. I made 'Blondies with Cream Cheese Swirl and Pecans' from the Magnolia Bakery cookbook and 'Triple Chocolate Brownies' from the Fat Witch Brownies cookbook.
January 7 - On Thursday, I stopped by to see the Camp Smith counselors during their prep for Howdy Camp. I enjoyed watching them practice some of their skits that they'll perform for the transfer students to help explain resources at Texas A&M. The skit pictured below was called "singing mouths," where the counselors taped eyes to their chins and sang animatedly. It was hilarious!
January 8 - So, this one is kind of cheating since I didn't take it myself. After 2 and a half years I asked our staff photographer (who does an AMAZING job!) to retake my headshot. In exchange I'll be taking him baked goods next week.
January 9 - On Saturday morning, I woke up bright and early for Howdy Camp send-off. In addition to working with the extended orientation program through my role at work, this year I was selected to serve as a namesake for one of the two camps. I am so looking forward to getting to know these students over the next three days and welcome them to the Aggie Network!
Fingers crossed week #2 of 2016 is just eventful as week #1!
