august 3rd. It's on.

as promised, me and my friend have decided to go to europe and we picked a date! august 3rd-24th, which is 3 about weeks, is going to be devoted to europe time, even though we're only shooting for about 2 1/2 weeks there.  here's a rough draft of what i want to do, and i mean rough.  it doesn't even have every place we want to go yet. so here:

We also want to go to belgium, the netherlands maybe, and ireland.  I have a friend over in germany right now, and he says he didn't hear many good things about brussels.  who knows.  we're not trying to be tourists.  we just want to experience it all..or at least as much as we can in 2+ weeks. 

it's friday once again.  the weeks are going by quicker it seems.  i'm loving the fall weather.  we opened all the windows at our place last night and i woke up fabulously chilly this morning.  i'd much rather be cold than hot.  i'm getting excited to buy some pumpkins! we've gotta carve some masterpieces this year, to beat last's:

pretty legit.  also...tay and i decided what we're gonna be for halloween.  he's gonna be a pirate and i'm gonna be his "booty." ha.  i gotta dress up in gold and wear a bunch of costume jewelry.  and yes, i thought of it myself! i love halloween. i love fall. i love not waking up sweaty. 

and fall means that winter is coming soon! me and tay are going to visit his mom in north carolina for about a week. then its back to work for a little while and then christmas! eeek! i already have presents in mind for my sisters.  i bought a 120 eyeshadow palette from red ginger cosmetics (on sale) for myself and i love it.  i think they will too. 

in other news, burn the floor is coming to college station, and i've been trying desperately to get free tickets off the radio, because the prices are stupid expensive.  so if anyone out there has tickets for a discounted rate, hit me up! anyone? ..i think i can hear crickets chirping.

so i have a lot to look forward to in this coming year! just keeping my head up, i'm so ready to get out of cstat.  come on taylor! let's get that degree!
