I'm baaaaack!

Last week was midterms, and although I surprisingly only had one test, the week ended up being really busy and my head was just not on straight.

The result from this was a little break from something I have grown to love so much - this here blog!

All of your sweet comments made me smile though, it was seriously so nice of you to say to take the time off and that you'd still be here when I came back. It just reminded me so much of why I love the blogging community!

Now, I am back and ready to blog again! When I take days off I miss reading your comments so much! My email is so quiet, and it's just really weird. I've grown quite addicted to hearing reading what you think about whatever it is I have decided to vent/write/review/tell-everyone on the internet.

I was going through my phone the other day and found a TON of pictures specifically taken for blog posts that were never written... so instead of writing about what I was going to write about (because, uhh, most of the subjects would not make sense anymore) I figured I would share the photos!
October 1st us girls all got together and headed up to Ames to tailgate for the Iowa State/Texas game. It was such a blast and I took SO MANY pictures!
We ate walking tacos, drank lots of beer, then switched to Monsters and water (complete with the coozie) and ate some more before heading out to walk it all off...

After eating way too much food tailgating we walked around Ames and visited some of our favorite places. One including my old sorority house. They've updated it and remodeled some and it looks fabulous!

We ate a lot of yummy food last weekend while up in Minneapolis celebrating Lesli's birthday. In true blogger fashion, I took pictures of just about everything that graced my lips (and now hips, ha!)
We also did some shopping - because one cannot spend time in Minneapolis and NOT shop! One of my absolute favorite places to window shop and drool over the gorgeous pretties is Anthropologie. I wish we had one in Des Moines, but... it's probably a good thing. It's fun to look at, but much too expensive for my taste.

I found these pictures on my iphone from the state fair and I couldn't resist posting. I think they're so pretty!

Do you like taking pictures? Do you carry around a camera or just use your phone?
