DAY 73: Fall Fall Fall...Winter?

The last day of pretty fall, now we wait for snow...definitely not my favorite transition.

DAY 72: cozy cozy cozy

Dear Target boys section, thank you for carrying my size in footies.

DAY 71: 12:01am

Super fun start to my thursday...cramming for a journalism exam.

DAY 70: more MAIL

So I know I've been over how exciting mail is, but mail from Kathrin in Germany who recently visited Rome...even more exciting :)

DAY 69: Voting Day

Just in case you weren't convinced yet, it's Autumn here, and it's really really pretty.

DAY 68: The river

Well, when Tuesday is voting day, aka no school, why not go hang out by the river monday night...even the stoop kids thought it was a good idea.

DAY 67: Happy Halloween!

What better Sunday activity than hiking the M.

DAY 66: tic-tac-toe!

Well it started as a creative costume...then I lost my X's and O's all over the place...so much for good velcro.

DAY 65: Halloween night 1

"So you just happened to have a cow costume lying around?.." yeah actually.

DAY 64: sidewalk?

beautiful beautiful Missoula in the fall

DAY 63: Ouch

At work they call it a "Jimmy tat." I call it "Sophie get the bread out of oven for the first time attempt to 'burp' it pan unbalanced ouch hot bread pan on arm.....burn" point made?

DAY 62: snoowwww

The first day of many I can watch it snow in the mountains from my dorm room window...loving it.

DAY 61: Welcome Home

Excellent week ahead of me: work midterm work exam registration exam work...

DAY 60: Tourist-y

So I've been to Seattle several times, but it still wouldn't be right to not take a picture of the space needle.

DAY 59: Hello Seattle

Rain rain rain...and multiple lane freeway driving,  and seeing family!

DAY 58: Eyes on the road

See you later Okanogan, hello Methow Valley...next destination: Bellingham.

DAY 57: ROADTRIP

This is the first time we left MT in...2 months, the beginning of a whirlwind crazy fun weekend.

DAY 56: Estudio Estudias Estudia Estudiamos Estudian

Flashcards para la clase de Espanol

DAY 55: Decisions&Discoveries

Final decision was made to roadtrip to Washington! And it doesn't really count as a discovery because I've seen the rock-climbing wall before, but it was the first day I climbed it.

DAY 54: Dentist.

This was intended to be a funny picture to show a select few friends, where i would be present to explain, "I tried so hard to smile but my face would do this!"....but unfortunately i forgot to take another picture of the day, so I hope you find it as funny as I do.

DAY 53: Just another walk by the river

I suppose IF I ever had to sleep under a bridge, this wouldn't be a bad view to wake up to.

DAY 52: Aloha

On campus, we have a "hello walk" with greetings in lots of different languages. As if our lovely campus isn't welcoming enough.

DAY 51: Friends

This picture was taken shortly after being told "You become real friends with someone after taking pictures with them"...so naturally we took pictures.

DAY 50: Biking home at 10

So, I'm a fan of the bike lane don't get me wrong, but until one is familiar with it for some time, being that close to traffic is a little (very) frightening.

DAY 49: day 1.

My first shift at the new job, Jimmy Johns.

DAY 48: MAIL

Getting mail, especially that containing cookies, brownies and happy notes....is one of the best best best events ever.

DAY 47: Over-achievers

How many college dorm rooms have a "wall of achievements" cut out of foam letters? One. It belongs to Jill and Carly.

DAY 46: Footie Pajamas!

Annie and Carly in their footies. I am now the proud owner of a pair with rocket ships and starts on them.

DAY 45: Monte!

Monte, the Montana Grizzly mascot, is awesome.

DAY 44: Lost.

So there I was, on my way to the dentists office...not located on any bus route...and not recognizing any street names. 5-10 ish blocks later I found it, on time!

DAY 43: lights

What is it about Christmas lights hanging in a room that make it cozy?

DAY 42: Tall (ish) buildings

In Okanogan, we don't have buildings with views, unless you consider someones house on a hill. This is out the window of my new Dr.'s office...not that it's an amazing view, but a view nonetheless.

DAY 41: The oval

For some reason, I walk all the way around the oval to get the UC instead of cutting across. Every time. And I always take the shorter way on the way back. Always.

DAY 40: Missoula everything.

This is, for the most part, my life as of right now.

DAY 39: Jogging? Good idea.

The path by the river, just another reason to love Missoula.

DAY 38: leaves leaves leaves

You just can't be sad while throwing leaves, or jumping in them or walking on them and hearing that "crunch."

DAY 37: Officially pumpkin season

October first, the beginning of jack-o-lanterns, "what are you going to be for Halloween?" conversations, and my personal favorite: Pumpkin everything...including the DQ pumpkin pie blizzards, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie smoothies...mmmmm.

DAY 36: yelloooww

I could never live somewhere for any extensive length of time where the leaves don't change in the fall.

DAY 35: 11:59...I haven't taken a pic today yet!

These hang above my roommates bed
