Loving Texas right now

So this week has been great! Could not be happier... well snowboarding would make me happier, but still I am pretty excited about this week. Here is why:

1. I got a free piercing! Sounds sketchy I'm sure, but I promise it was a legit shop! I got my cartilage done and the cutest guy did the piercing. I might have to get my tattoo there just to see him again... haha

2. I think I know what my tattoo will be... not telling ya yet, but I promise to post photos when/if I get it done

3. The weather finally cooled down! Its been as low as 75* at one point this week. AMAZING!

4. I have been working out with a woman here for the past few weeks so I'm feeling great. I have finally figured out how to stay motivated btw! here is my advice:

• work out with an engaged woman. She will be more motivated to look good in a dress than you could possibly imagine
• work out with someone with a child because if she is paying for a baby sitter during the work out then she is gonna make it worth her time
• work out to build muscle for a sport or activity you like. For instance I started researching how to train for snowboarding and I feel way more exited about my work outs now than when it was about looking thinner.

5. Last but not least work has been great! I had a full house this week with 4 camps in my building. I loved it because I was busy, got to meet a lot of interesting people, and I got a lot of compliments on my customer service ;) This week at work has also included me giving tours of the residence hall and show room to orientation students. This has been really bizarre because everyone asks what my favorite thing about the school is or my best advice about the school, so I always end up explaining where I'm from. Its great though because in  the process I've met one vegetarian and two people from WA! (from WA as in lived there 5-10 years ago, but still!). Best part about work though is that I am working with a RC to set up and affiliate RHA for their campus! How legit is that!?! What an amazing resume bullet point. Where there was once no RHA there now will be one because of me :) boo-freaking-yah! 

I am happy to report that it has been great here in Texas! Today was the first time I fully realized with sadness I was going to have to leave this place (something I never felt when living in Cali, so you know I'm more a Texan girl at heart). That said I still miss everyone a ton and will be excited to see your smiling faces when I return! 

I have a few more photography jogging classes to show ya too! 

So these sky / cloud pictures where during the beginning of a storm. They started white and gray then became vibrant pink in the sunset! It was pretty amazing looking the pictures don't do justice. 

These last four photos I took while on my jog. Its the older less developed side of town and I just thought it was so interesting how run down everything was. A lot of places are closed or for sale. Pretty sad since this side of town is WAY cuter than the other side which is walmart and mcdonalds.
