Where did the year go? I can remember like it was last month my New Year's Eve party that welcomed in 2013... and now here it is, a year later.
I'd say this last year has been pretty productive- I started my Master's program, which I will be finishing in 4.5 months, for instance. And I've only made one B so far in all of my graduate classes- a great feat if you consider my undergraduate grades (please don't). I also acquired my third horse, which was possibly done during a moment of insanity. And, things on the job front may soon be moving and shaking.
I just started back to work after a wonderful week and a half break (another monumental feat in itself) that was busy and went by way too fast. For starters, I took a couple of days to stay home and get some things done before heading to my parents' house. On Christmas day, we went to my grandparents' house, and then the next day I drove back home. The next day, I went back to my grandparents' house. And then the NEXT day I drove back down to my parents' house to hang with Philip for a few days, who came to Houston for New Year's. Here is a pictorial representation of the last couple of weeks.
The weather warmed up and I was able to give my yearling (now 2 year old) a bath- possibly the most dramatic moment of my horse career. "WHAT IS THAT!? WATER IS TOUCHING ME!!! I'M MELTING/GOING TO CHARGE YOU TO MAKE YOU STOP!" We made it through, but it was rough going for a while there.

Philip came to CS and we did fun and exciting things like visit Santa's Wonderland and go ice skating:

This was after I asked Santa to step away so that we could get a picture of just the two of us... |
Blake took this most flattering picture at my dad's side of the family's Christmas eve party, and yes, I am posting it for all to see:

Romeo and Fiona snuggled one night while I got ready for bed:

Apparently Fiona needed a sleep mask |

In the peeling stage, you're welcome. |
It's a shout-out to Chica, my love, who has the same thing branded on her left hip:

We are coming up on our lucky number 13 anniversary! |
For NYE, Philip and I party-hopped to three different parties around Houston/Richmond/Katy, which was incredibly exhausting and will not likely be repeated again anytime soon. But we had a great time, and I am looking forward to the new year! Hope it's a great one for you!
