oh, hello dear

today has been a beautiful day
and what better way to spend your day when a beautiful river runs through your campus?
go have lunch by the river.

i hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday.  the weather in Texas {at least in my part of Texas} is beautiful and i want to take full advantage of it. which means i’ve been day dreaming out the window all afternoon instead of working on research.

i found a candle that smells like my mom’s perfume. at first this made me really sad, but now it makes me really happy, which is nice.

in order to change things up this Easter, my dad and sister are coming to San Marcos for a few days.  i’m really looking forward to it.  the thought of spending Easter back at my parent’s house was making me dread the holiday {and honestly, i don’t know how i feel about the holiday right now, it was my mom’s favorite}.  we’re going to make the most of it and have a little backyard party, complete with burgers and cupcakes.

if anyone has a good homemade cupcake recipe, i’d love it if you would send it to me!  i’m going for the whole “i didn’t make this from a box” theme this weekend. carly.smith27@gmail.com

Saturday was such a pretty day, Travis and i decided to head over to the local airport, park the car near the tarmac and watch the small engine planes take off.  but not before we stopped by the Texas Pie Company for some mini pies.  Trav got chocolate heath and i got strawberry rhubarb, they were delicious.

She & Him – In The Sun from Merge Records on Vimeo.

this is zooey deschanel’s band she & him.
they’re pretty adorable, and their music is fun and kitschy
check them out here for a listen

i tried another round of holga pictures {this time i used cheaper film to practice with}, and some actually turned out this time, huzzah!  they aren’t really anything of any importance, just from a quick photoshoot outside.  i’m excited to get out there and learn more and take more photos.
thanks to bradee for all of her help!
