Thanksgiving...

our trip to Oklahoma was nice and relaxing!

the dogs were fantastic road companions and wonderful house guests at the in-laws.

some photos...

meet Daisy Schartz -- oh.my.goodness. what a sweet dog!

and of course, my sweet Bella after a busy Thanksgiving day.

and the following night...

I've never been so happy to see Ohio than I was last night after 10+ hours in the car.

this is pretty nice to come home to!

 but this lil' guy is what I was waiting on!!!! This is Sammy Noodle this morning while I was writing a paper and getting back to the grind...

then he curled up in my lap...

going on a break from school is uh-mazing...

what sucks is when it ends and you have to go back to reality.

no more eating as much as I want...

no more ignoring the school work that piles up...

no more lazy days...

the next two weeks are going to be hard.

H.A.R.D.

But then I get to spend Christmas in Tampa!
