Camping the NEW YEAR in


So, here is my friend Katy. She is one of the coolest and most fun people i have ever met. New Year's day was approaching fast and we were trying to make some plans. I got a new tent, sleeping bag, and camping equipment for Christmas. Not too much was going on and i'm not too big on the parties soooooo... we decided to camp! Two girls and a greyhound camping by themselves seem a little strange? Who cares, said we, and off we went to Lake Travis (by Austin for all my homies out there). We had a BLAST. The only not-so-blast part of the trip was trying to sleep that night. It was coooooooooooold cold.


Here is my Christmas present from my wonderful family. Thank you Mom and Dad! And my sister too!


There we are!


Peaceful.


One of my favorites.


Thank you, Jessie in Budapest, for the awesome Hungarian wine! Wish you were there w/ us freezing our butts off together!


After much hard effort (more than i would like you to know), we got a fire!!!


Getting warm by the raging fire?


Melina gets the new year's kiss, of course!


Happy New Year toast!


Melina laying on my legs at bedtime...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it was cold. 30 degrees?



Little did we know at this point...the lack of sleep we would endure throughout the night.
