What's Not to Love?

Over the past few days, I've realized that there are a lot of awesome things in my life that are making me crazy happy right now!  It really is the little things in life that mean the most.  For example (of course this is a bullet-pointed list...what else would you expect from me?):

• My roommate recently acquired a Santa hat, which I enjoy wearing frequently for no real reason.  As a matter of fact, I'm wearing it as I'm writing this post!  Can't you just picture it?  It's really putting me in the Christmas spirit.
• I've been painting my nails quite a bit lately, and they look fantastic, if I do say so myself!  Special thanks to my mom, who got me a couple new bottles of nail polish for my birthday.  Which reminds me...
• My birthday is tomorrow!  19 years old...that's where it's at.  :)
• All my classes are winding down.  We're in the homestretch now!  Once I finish this week of classes, all I have is finals next week.  And then...
• I'm coming home for Christmas!  While it's still about a week and a half away, I'm looking forward to seeing all my friends and family back in the good old 651.  But getting back to Sioux City...
• There's finally snow on the ground!  We got our first snowfall on Saturday, and it's been absolutely gorgeous since then.  I have a good feeling it's finally here to stay.  
• Our cafeteria has delicious hot chocolate.  That is all that needs to be said.

As you can see, there's a lot to love about December in Sioux City.  Even though my birthday falls on a day that will live in infamy (1941 reference, anyone?), I'm looking forward to spending it here with all my amazing friends.


Shout-out to Deb and Kathy, the sandwich ladies in our cafeteria.  They make delicious sandwiches, know me by name, care about my life back in Minnesota, and compliment my cute clothes.  Here's to you, ladies.  :)
