What is this liquid falling from the sky?

Rain!  So much rain!  On my way home last night, it looked and felt like God put a personal rain cloud over my car.........SCARY!  Despite the fact that it feels a little mucky outside and driving has been a little more dangerous, I am so thankful for the rain.  It's my favorite sound and we really need it!

I went home this weekend, and I decided I'm kind of tired of going home.  I like getting to babysit and see Christina and Mallory.  But, when I'm not with them, it's just lonely.  Burnet is so small compared to Austin, and my dad and sister aren't even at our house most of the time.  I just sit in my room doing the same stuff I do in my dorm, except I don't have Sara across from me when I want to talk or when I'm just bored.  There was plenty of boredom!  Despite the lonely hours at home, I did get to see Christina and Mallory for a little while.  In the end, that always makes the drive and time away from campus worth it!

Reading the book I brought her <3

I have made up my mind that I'm not going to spend Saturday night at home unless I'm babysitting.  Otherwise, I'm waiting until Sunday morning and just driving down to watch Mallory in the nursery.

I went shopping today and finally bought a pair of RED PANTS!  I have been wanting some for like six months now.  I think I first knew I wanted some when Christina wore them to work last Spring, but I just really like them.  I also got a white, sleeveless top to go with the red pants, as well as a pair of blue pants and a leather jacket- all things I've been wanting for a while.  Actually, I have been wanting a leather jacket for about 3 years, I just wasn't sure if I would ever wear it.

The best part of this weekend was having chicken and dumplings for dinner at Hallie's tonight :)  Chicken and dumplings are perfect for rainy weather!  I have a tradition of watching Step Up every time I eat them, but I didn't get to this time.  Maybe I'll watch it tomorrow with my leftovers.
