Hey Smart Cookie. Not sure where you getting the idea that I owe you two pictures today (by my count I am up to date!) but I figured I would indulge you anyway. Hope you had a great first day and I can't wait to hear your voice tomorrow!!!

Oh how I hate watching the sun come up. It's tooooo early. Sooooo tired. Can't wait until I get to sleep in on Monday. Wrist feels better btw. But it's still a little swollen. I'll pull through.

You little sneak! I can't believe you did that. Thank you thank you thank you. I LOVE it!!! It's so tiny and beautiful and sleek. I haven't even taken it out of the packaging yet. I don't want to ruin it. You're the best. I love you.

I would like to introduce you to Echo, one of my four new roommates along with Dizzy, Katelyn and Jamei (pictures of all to follow). The dogs are so sweet. They like to come up to my room and just sniff around and hang out. And they love to cuddle! I think I may end up getting a little too attached.

Congratulations CHEF!!! This is such great news. I couldn't be prouder. Of course they want you. You're amazing. Now you just need to figure out if you want them. Take the time and really decide if this is something you want to put your heart into because I know you'll only be happy if you're able to do that. If it is, fantastic! You'll win their hearts just like you won mine.

Yet another one of me sticking out my tongue. I think I gotta put one of these at least once a week. It's my go-to candid photo face. Hope you had a great day today and can't wait to hear all about it!!!

Show's over Pumpkin. Just like that, another Halloween's come and gone. Crazy how fast time flies. Before you know it you'll be back in my arms. Can't wait.
