New Years Resolution- Blog More!

 Yes, I know, I suck.  It's been way too long since I've posted, but it's a new year, so here we go.  The world didn't end on December 21st so I have who knows how long to "keep current" with my blog.

Here's a little bit of catchup before we move into the new year.

After eating way too much over Thanksgiving break I went back to school, took a bunch of tests, then came home again.  The holidays went well and recently I've been spending a lot of time with friends.  It's also been nice to have the opportunity to get out of the WC and explore different parts of The Bay.

Here's a little taste of my winter break adventures! 

One one of my first days back I took a hike in the hills with one of my very good friends. We had to avoid the mud because of all the recent rain, but the hills were green and beautiful.





Don't judge me for my use of Instagram pictures... I was without my actual camera that day.











Again, if you want to follow me on Instagram my name is LeslieJay. Gotta love the annoying plugs.... *rolls eyes*

Took a trip out to San Francisco with my friends for one of their birthdays.  We had dinner at the Ferry Building, sat by the water, then just walked around and went in all kind of stores we couldn't afford to shop in.  I forgot how nice it was to just sit by the water.  I occasionally feel a bit land-locked in Missouri.... go figure.

And I've been spending lots of time with this lovely girl! (Even though it's never enough)

We took Pear's beautiful new camera and went to Berkeley to explore the Cal campus!  I love college campuses.  Each campus is so different and is home to a unique group of students.  It was really interesting to look at Cal from a student's perspective and not just as my dad's, my uncle's, and my cousin's (and many many more) alma mater.  I wouldn't trade Mizzou, but Cal has a gorgeous campus!

I wanted to take pictures of the ginkgo leaves in the grass at Mizzou, but they lost their color before I got a chance, so CA Weather to the rescue!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
