I finished my college scrapbook today, which took a lot more time than I thought it would. My favorite pictures that I put inside are our awesome posed roomie pics. Here's to my wonderful college roomies!

Xmas 2004

Halloween 2005

Graduation 2006

Not the most creative cover, and I couldn't find the burnt orange scrapbooks either, but it's what's on the inside that counts, right?

Eric and I went to the McNay Art Museum today. With bellies full of Shiner and food (from the Lion and Rose), we traipsed through incredible collections and beautiful grounds. Their featured exhibition, "Neither Model nor Muse: Women as Artists," was amazing.

Today, I started my garden. I went to Rainbow Gardens and bought 3 herbs, potting soil, and fertilizer.

Cilantro for all my Mexican food needs; Mint for mojitos

Genovese basil....PESTO!

Red poppy seeds....come on germination!

The key word here is "started." Whether I can keep it up with my black thumb and impending intern year, only time will tell...... *sigh*

Probably THE PEAK of my list, last Saturday I went skydiving in San Marcos! Along for the flight was Ian, Vicki, and her friend Crystal.

My tandem instructor, whom I was attached to very, very tightly, was Christian Perez (who btw was freaking AWESOME). Although the estimated 50 seconds of free fall was a blur, I do remember the massive wind in my face and being unable to hear myself go WOOOOO!!

Flight-suit up!

About a 15 min plane ride...AND I sat at the front

Floating...very zen

Coming in for a landing....the butt slide

Somehow Ian got in the cool "walk away action shot"

Vicki got the cool "running landing"

A most amazing experience.....maybe one day I'll jump on my own


Notes: Vicki got the $100 video.....Saw Eva and Travis (experienced jumper)....awesome hamburgers for lunch at Centerpoint Station....

Today, I got a mini-physical by a nurse practitioner for my pre-employment health screen.
