Autumn

Living in Western New York has really helped me appreciate this time of year! 

The pumpkin spice lattes, vibrant leaves, apple crisps, cool air, and everything else that reminds you of fall!

Doesn't this picture remind you of Avonlea? 

A Saturday Adventure took us out in the crisp fall air to do some hiking.

Yes I live near this place! 

With weather and scenery like this who could not conquer mid-terms? :)

So This Is Love

Love (IIIl) by: George Herbert

Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
        Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
        From my first entrance in, 
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
        If I lack'd anything.

"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here;"
        Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
        I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
        "Who made the eyes but I?"

"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
         Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
         "My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
         So I did sit and eat. 

She's Official... Well Almost :)

It was a gorgeous day outside! 

(My desk is a window seat, I love it !) 

Not only was it beautiful weather but I thought hmm what a wonderful day to declare my major :D Well practically declare it, I just need one more signature and I am officially a Psychology major with a minor in Intercultural Studies :)

Somedays I feel like a college student =]

Sophomore Year Is A Go!

After a fantastic summer filled with camp, road trips, friends, and family I have arrived back to school safe and sound.
We now live on the 4th floor so moving in was kind of a work out, but that is okay work outs are great for us! The first day of classes is over and my planner is color coordinated. Assignments are already written out but fun is being planned around them! 
My roommates are amazing and I feel as if this is going to be a wonderful year :)
Stay tuned for some adventures from 4th Old !!

Thunderstorms to Study By

Last night we had the most EPIC thunderstorm ever!
Sammy came into my room and we were writing our papers together.
At about 11 o'clock we decide to take a study break.
Our breaks include racing across the quad barefoot in our pj's, telling funny stories, eating sweedish berries, turning up the sound to a favorite song. Good study breaks!
Well the first one we took we raced around the quad, it had been raining, but it was not anymore.
At about 1 o'clock (yes that would be a.m.) we were kind of falling back asleep.
Sammy said "Katie you wanna go run?"
I said, "yeah, give me ten minutes.... woahhh do you hear the rain outside?!?"
"Precisely why I asked if you wanted to go run."
"Let's do it!" 
In less than 2 minutes of racing around the quad, rain literally blinding our eyes, lightening striking right above us and screaming from the thrill; we arrived in the stairway looking like drowned rats.

it was a pretty epic way to wake up :)
