Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corns and Syrup: A Semester Wrap Up

FINALLY. Home for Christmas Break. Obviously this past semester has been a whirlwind because I didn't get blog quite as much as I would've liked...or at all for that matter. So here's a quick recap...hitting the high points of the semester:

• A day-trip to Charleston with Josh a few weeks before the semester began
• I spoke Spanish to a family in the Children's Hospital as we (UNC-DM) served them free meals
• Going to Aaron and Kristen Vernon's wedding with Molly and Rachel, followed by a sleepover and unsuccessful trip to Cookout (Molly would love to tell you about that one)
• Erin's 21st Birthday!!!! AHHH.
• Charleston for Labor Day weekend with Bracey to help with a wedding!
• A great trip to the State Fair with some of my favorite people in this world
• Another wonderful weekend in Black Mountain with the greatest TCTW family ever
• My roommates and I dressing up as hipster Disney Princesses (and Josh being Fedora) for Halloween
• One wild Dancer Recruitment Week, registering 1,645 dancers for the 2013 UNC Dance Marathon
• The Tar Heels pulling through my Senior year to beat State! 
• Liz spending Thanksgiving with me and my family!
• Weeks full of 3:00am stays in the business school to finish consulting projects
• Placing Second in both of our consulting case competitions! Boom. 
• Everything about Snapchat. It's amazing.
• And finishing up exams with a great new Starbucks app on my phone. Seriously its wonderful. 

That is only a few of the many things that happened this semester and I'm sure my last semester will be filled with even more memories. While I'm home on break I'm going to blog as much as I can! Tomorrow I'm going to start a 12 Days of Christmas series and share things that are going on in the Thomas house while we're all under one roof. I'm also going to add recipes to the recipe tab of my blog...starting with Salted Carmel Chocolate Chip Cookies! And obviously I'll have tons of free time to craft and add more things to share! Cheers to a wonderful, fun, exciting and relaxing Christmas break!

Bye, Buddy! I hope you find your dad! -Elf (one of my favorite Christmas movies)
