2016: Day 152

Things I should really buy: toilet paper. (Pictured: The last of it.)

Things I bought today: Clothes and shoes. 

I am so good at adulting. -_-

2016: Day 151

Just call me Dumbledore. :D

2016: Day 150

We are finally back home in Illinois. There has been much snuggling and resting. 

2016: Day 149

We spent the whole night driving home from Florida. This photo of these cool cats was taken somewhere in Georgia around 4:00 in the morning. 

(For yesterday.)

2016: Day 148

Chevy painted me a picture of Robin, sitting in a library. It is pretty much the best thing ever and I can't wait to hang it in my apartment back in Illinois. :D

(For yesterday.)

2016: Day 147

We waited until our last day in the park to take the quintessential Universal photo. It has been a great vacation. :)

2016: Day 146

Jake was the hero of day two of our vacation. After being jokingly asked by a staff member for a donut, he actually went and bought one. We were then personally escorted to the front of the line on a ride with an hour long wait, and given express passes and a "tell them I sent you" for others. Thanks for being your kind, weird self, Jake. 😉❤️

(And thank you to Sean at Universal!) 

2016: Day 145

Our first day in the park was a success! :)

Also, between the well-packed bag and the sensible outfit, I look like a mom here. 

That is all. 

2016: Day 144

Watching Harry Potter on the way to Harry Potter World. :D

2016: Day 143

In which Jake and I head back to Bloomington. 

We leave for Orlando in the morning! :D

2016: Day 142

We are both grumpsters, and we aren't too keen on packing. 

2016: Day 141

I finally got my fancy "you've been working here for six months" name tag at work. Yay! :)

2016: Day 140

I came back from the first day at my new job to find these two napping, Jake in his new dinosaur shirt and Robin snuggled up with the laundry I haven't gotten around to yet. I wish all of our days could be cozy and spent together. 

2016 Day 139

Happy anniversary doofus. ❤️

(4 years! Woo!) 

2016: Day 138

Father-daughter bonding time. ❤️

2016: Day 137

I told him to put a shirt on. This is not what I meant. (For yesterday.) 

2016: Day 136

For yesterday, the end of our time together. The sun was too bright for me to keep my eyes open. 

I am going to miss you like crazy, Alex.

2016: Day 135

A little reunion at Zachary and Madeline's beautiful wedding. Congratulations you two, we couldn't be more proud.

2016: Day 134

Alex and I are very rehearsed and ready for tomorrow. ❤️

2016: Day 133

On my way to visit Alex I took a wrong turn and ended up on a beautiful backroad detour. I am calling this place "cow heaven" because it was one of the most serene things I have ever seen. Not pictured: a goose floating on the pond. It was straight out of a children's book.

2016: Day 132

I told them that I wanted to take a picture of them, and this is what I got. 

Cherish it! 

2016: Day 131

They are the kind of friends that need their space. 

(For yesterday.) 

2016: Day 129 and 130

This was supposed to be a cool reunion picture with my baby brother, but he fell asleep before I got to Bloomington. Instead here I am, sad and alone and laying on the floor, wearing the cool hat I made him a couple of years ago. 

Wake up soon little brother. Who needs the third grade anyway?

Packing up is hard to do.

2016: Day 127 and 128

I think this says all that needs to be said about our friendship. 

Congratulations on graduating, Quinn. 

So, I may have gone overboard at the galley giveaway yesterday.

Not pictured: Even more books. 

2016: Day 126

Things I am skeptical about: 

Whether or not the large crowd of people just out of frame is going to crush me.

Things I am not skeptical about: 

Captain America: Civil War. It was great!!

2016: Day 125

Today was the last day of Storytelling. What a great class and an awesome group of people. I will miss it.
Thanks for all the stories! :D grin emotico

2016: Day 124

Today I gave a presentation, and finished an annotated bibliography, and got excited about politics, and spilled coffee on myself on the bus. 

It's been a roller coaster, ladies and gentlemen. 

2016: Day 123

One time Alex and I went to see The Wolfpack. It was a very happy day. I keep the poster hanging up to remind me, on days like this one, that my life is made of more than homework. 

2016: Day 122

I got to work today and found the best surprise ever. I ate so many of these cookies. (That were maybe more like scones.) 

2016: Day 121

I am lucky to have a tutor who is always ready to check my annotations for me. 

I hope this look means "Good job Jennifer!"
