one year

we celebrated our one year with fondue in downtown fort worth.

you know it.

whenever i tell david to pose this is what he gives me.

what grad school looks like

{on a good day}

lots of times it looks like me trying to find a comfortable position to sit in my bed and read at 11:50 pm without falling asleep. the reading is a bit... intense. but i really am enjoying it. this is what i like to do. i just have to figure out how to have time to DO all of it.

you know what else this picture looks like? fall. i love fall. i am a bit j of mals and how she will get to experience REAL fall. hurry up october and 60 degree weather!

fort worth

i'm settling into fort worth now. i got a tcu id card. i look older in it than in my baylor id card that i put into a back pocket of my billfold today. i think things are good.

there's a taco bueno on my way home. even on the right-hand side of the road. that might be too good.

family tradition

the jarchows have been going to el rancho grande for the past 30 years. i remember going when we would visit the fam in fort worth when i was little. as soon as we got to texas from kentucky, we first had to get cherry limeades from braums and bean burritos from taco bueno, but probably the next day everyone would go to el rancho. i recommend the chips and queso and the nachos.

as you can see my dainty sister visited us this weekend. i like her.

green and gold

I really like the way the sun sets down our street.

And how the sun catches the grass and makes it glow.

pardon me but.... "we'll spread our green and gold afar....."

Christy

I miss you, boo.

6 Things

laura tagged me to write a list of 6 little things that make me happy. here goes.

1. french press coffee and my new orange french press coffee maker
2. a good, much needed, television break. this past semester christy and i got into the tradition of taking a break from notre theses (and i use french because i don't know the english plural for thesis) to eat dinner and watch chuck with her parents. delight.
3. cuties (often these are pretty big things, big not as in large, but significant)
4. blogs. my current fave: the rockstar diaries
5. notes (the written kind, although i suppose i also enjoy the musical kind)
6. accents (fake and real)
