August according to Instagram

Hi. Hello. Aloha. Bonjour. Hallo. Howdy. 

I'm truly sorry I haven't been blogging.. part of me wants to, and then sleep typically takes over or I just don't even think about it at all. It's been one crazy month, but I'll give you the short version right now... then actually posts about all this later. I miss you guys. Thanks, Danielle for commenting and saying you missed me, it truly meant the world to me and just so you know.. I miss you, too! 

Kay, let's explain the pictures above. 

• After I finished my second session of summer school at the beginning of August, there was a lot of laziness in the Ross household. Exhibit A, Muggles the laziest beagle of them all. 
• Like I mentioned in my last post (from three weeks ago..ouch), I took a trip to Dallas with my parents for a bit of back-to-school shopping. It was lots of fun, and a much needed break from College Station!
• Curt and I visited the George Bush (the first one) Presidential Library on a whim. I've never been and seeing as I pass it to go to school most days, I thought that was pretty sad for having lived here for three years and never taking the time to visit. It was extremely interesting and I really enjoyed getting to know the history of the Bush family! 
• My favorite edition to my closet has to be my new elephant shirt, which I wore when we went to the Bush Library!
• Curtis and I took a long weekend to Galveston with his parents. It was lots of fun! We swam in the ocean, ate lots of delicious seafood, took a ghost tour, and had a nice relaxing break for our mini-break from school. 
• I chopped off about 7 inches of my hair, and I'm loving it! Although.. it does get greasier faster. Super annoying. Could be the constant 100* weather too though. 
• I had a period where I walked the beagles on campus every evening for a few days. I love walking past Kyle Field.. and am super-de-duper excited for football season! Gig 'em!
• School started last Monday.. luckily, I only have it four days a week! :)
• Like I mentioned above, I'm super excited for football season (I can rant and rant forever about it), so Curtis thought it'd be fun to go to a radio show for dinner. Our head coach was there talking, we had awesome food, but there were awkwardly loud drunk people too.. not so fun. 
• I'm taking a digital photography class this semester, and I could not be more excited. I've just finished my first assignment, woot. 
• Saturday we played our first football game. It wasn't pretty on the defensive side. It definitely didn't have a lack of controversy around it. But, I loved every second of it.. even if I thought I might pass out from the heat at certain points. Oh, and I love Johnny Football, ESPN can shove it. 
• Curtis and Muggles doin' some homework. 

Have a great week lovelies! You can follow me on Instagram @kristina_ross14.

Day 14: Back to Normal

Yesterday was tons of fun. The talent show, which was actually more of a sing and dance type of thing, was awesome. We didn't stay the entire time..it was rather long, and my buttocks did not like those seats. But my friend, Denise, was amazing! She had a solo and everything, I'm so proud. It's Sunday..once again, and I've got to get back into the groove of things, not excited, but this was definitely the break I needed.

I took these photos on the way back to College Station, in a tiny town named, Calvert. It has a row of shops that always look so vintage and adorable (my style for sure), so I decided to stop and take my photos for this fourteenth day of my 30x30 challenge. Almost halfway there, I'm ready to have my closet back..I miss it you guys. I took the pictures behind the shops, out of the way of the watchful eyes of passersby on the highway. Although, there was a car that passed by twice..either they were lost or just trying to figure out what I was doing, I'm gonna go with the latter, I don't think many exciting things happen in Calvert.

Muggles has a problem with taking pictures. She's scared of my DSLR, so I figured she'd be able to handle my iPhone..it only works if she doesn't know she's having her photo taken, otherwise, forget about it, won't happen. But, what can I say, she is a beagle, and she really wanted to explore once I got her out of the car. I think she'll enjoy our roadside adventures if I do this more often, there's a mural wall I spotted on my way out, gotta hit it up sometime.

Anyway, I love this blouse, it's so comfortable, but it has a more put together look than a tee. I'm definitely going to get some more if I find a good sale at Old Navy again. Oh, and that belt is really cool, even if it is a little too big, I'm glad I finally got to wear it and show it off with a tucked in shirt. Hope y'all are enjoying the last bit of weekend we've got. I'm glad to be back with Curt (even if I haven't seen him yet..he's studying on campus), even though it's only been two days, I missed him! Good thing we'll be living together soon, I'm tired of being apart.

How was y'all's weekend? Did ya do anything fun?!
