life at the moment - according to my phone

i've been so busy lately with school. i am in the process of getting my thesis approved by the institutional review board for human subjects. sounds like scary stuff! but i just had to fill out a long application about my thesis. now i am just waiting to hear back : )
i've been trying to get back into crocheting! i made this granny square while i was listening to the sermon at church last saturday. i used some yarn i got in england in january!
 i found this little plastic blue bird on the pavement yesterday. i thought it was cute, like a little surprise! i am thinking of passing this on to someone : )
miguel & i have been going on our little adventures : ) we found a breakfast place that serves mole huevos (rancheros) & an amazing french toast that tastes like custard. it's so good.

 i love going grocery shopping with him! it's seriously so fun.

 my housemate, lydia made some amazing pineapple upside-down cake this week. it was quite tasty.
& it is my papi's birthday today! i went shopping yesterday for his gift. he loves lavender scented things, so i bought him a few lavender items from l'occitane. last time i went shopping there was in paris when i bought my sister some eyeshadow!

    It is real nice hearing about your adventures with your love, even the simple ones are exciting. That is how life is meant to be, or at least thats my thoughts!
