Every Friday I recall the things that make me smile & the things that I'm thankful for making me smile as well as just coming across my life just for bringing some goodness into it. I have a lot to be thankful for because I believe I am quite lucky compared to some people out there here goes my Thanksgiving list:

• my loving family who no matter what always loves me, even if I can be a pain some days. They always help me when in need and provide me with whatever I can't afford.
• an amazing lovely boyfriend who always is there for me when I need to vent, a shoulder to cry on, give me a whole lotta loving, is there for me during an emergency, always to calm me down, is all ears when I'm in my most talkative mood, helps me out when times are financially tough, teaches me something new everyday, lifts my spirits, makes me laugh so much, smile consistently & still has the power to make my heart skip a beat 3 & a 1/2 years later...whoa how did I get so lucky??!!
• my two furry babies who unconditionally love me even though I may get a little too mad when an accident happens or when Nylon happens to be bored & roam the trash can, or when I forget to refill the water bowl & they have to kick it around to tell me they're thristy, sorry little babes! but thanks for still loving me and giving me lots of kisses & warmth throughout the night.
• School who always gives me a hella good challenge, boy do I hate you sometimes but you sure make my brain work to it's fullest potential & give me a satisfaction in the end that I can do so much if I push myself.
• my job I'm thankful to always be lucky when it comes to the work field because I haven't ever had to wait for a job, I'm always lucky to be hired right away & I know their is people out there jobless looking for one, so I'm thankful to have one that is fun & has lovely employee's. 

Had a beautiful Thanksgiving with my family & lots of good vegan food! Here was my outfit I wore, just a simple lace dress with a nude under dress & some nude heels + red lipstick! That's a first for me since it looks a little odd on me cause I'm so light complected or maybe I'm just not used to seeing myself in it. Hope your Thanksgiving was good & y'all are have a lot of luck in your lives, the best time of the year is coming guys! ^_^

Earlier this evening, I got together with two co-workers & we had a late lunch, early dinner? ...anywho, it was great, lots of laughs, and good chats. Then after we got some coffee & just talked about work problems and laughed some more. It's always nice to get some girl time, I don't get it too often since I'm always with my boyfriend, but I'm realizing I gotta fit more time in, it's obviously necessary!

Pretty accurate description of my week..filled with studying & actually relaxing! I never thought that would happen anytime this semester! I can't believe it's already Friday, was an extremely hectic, chaotic, car problematic week, but I found some nice-ness in it:

• the weather all week, 60 degree weather? I dig! 
• this new cute jacket I got at Target, so feminine & vintage looking (will post a picture tomorrow)
• Thanksgiving holiday is coming up, which means food, family & no school! {& lots of rest...hopefully}
• laying in bed & actually watching TV... I thought I was in heaven!
• naps. 
• some good shed tears.

Time is flying by, CANNOT believe we're already November! Quite scary how fast its going but that only makes me want to enjoy more things and not take them for granted. Here's some things that made me smile this past week:

Found these two adorable babies at Target yesterday, both for only $11 ! What a steal right?

What an extremely busy and hectic week! Went outta town this past weekend, so I had to play catch-up with school work on Monday, lots due this week, but that's all over ...for now! Other than that, I can relax a bit for today and tomorrow, then gotta get back to studying for next week. Other than this busy week I still found some time to smile:

• the weather in Austin this past weekend! 
• dancing "Gangnam style" for Halloween parties (I know, I know I told myself I wouldn't but it was fun)
• the sweet, sweet compliments I got for my Halloween costume. I think people liked me more as a cat! 
• for the laughs I had, they felt extra special considering it was a busy week.
• Elias & I listening to the oldies station play Halloween music from back when.. felt so romantic.
• the new Corner Bakery they built near my work, such a cute little cafe, and an even cuter patio with relaxing couches and a lovely atmosphere ..did I mention yummy veggie panini?
• the delicious post run snack I had (pictured above). yum, yum & yum!

I hope your Halloween was filled with fun & lots of candy! Unfortunately I spent mine in costume studying for Anatomy (boo)! At least I was dressed right? to be in the spirit. Spent most of it this past weekend in Austin with friends, had a good time. Now time to rest this weekend and prepare for another exam.. is it Christmas break yet?
