All Settled In

Hey Everyone! I am so sorry that it has been so long since I have posted! Between getting here, exploring beautiful Texas and starting school, I have been bussssy! I have finally got all settled in though and I thought I would share with you my new oasis :) About a month ago I moved into a 4 bedroom, 4 1/2 bathroom townhome about 2.5 miles off of campus that I absolutely LOVE! I moved in with one of my best friends from high school, Brianna, Tara and Melanie, two amazingly sweet medical students from San Antonio, Texas. A home is never really done, but making it feel "homie" is what I do best. 

Now WELCOME to my humble abode... 

Have I have always loved the color purple, so I added purple and gold accents to a black and white room. Thanks to my amazing mom and her creative eye and my handy dad, I got everything set up and hung. I would love to here y'alls feedback and your likes and dislikes:) If you have any questions on where I got anything, let me know and I will get back to you! 

So now that you have seen my cubical of love... here are some of the amenities I get to enjoy for the next year:) 

 A rad full size gym, with a yoga room (P90X and Insanity included), free weights, treadmills and ellipticals.  

 And the view from the gym is this crystal blue, olympic size pool with swim up bar and jacuzzi! The only way to relax on a hot Texas day! 

Thank you so much for reading, friends! I hope you enjoyed!

California to Texas

Hey Y'all!! So I officially made it to flat and hot Lubbock, Texas. The road trip was a long, but an eventful trek halfway across the country.
Day 1: We left San Diego at 2am and drove about 11 hours to Alamogordo, New Mexico. My best friends dad is a huge history buff, so he told us about this beautiful national park in this part of New Mexico. From the street you couldn't truly see the beauty of this place. Below are pictures of the White Sands National Park in Alamogordo, NM. 

Our hotel provided us with these sleds so we were able to hike to the top of the duns and slide down! 

Honestly one of the most beautiful sights I have seen. 

Day 2: Up at 6am to grab a bite to eat and get back on the road. After many road trip jams, long chats and pit stops we arrived in beautiful Texas. 

New Home!!! <3

After a 2 day, 1,050 mile drive to my new home I got to meet my two new AMAZING roommates and was reunited with my best friend again:) So lucky to have both of my parents to take me on this new journey. So much fun driving to new places with them. Love you both!

Can't wait to show y'all my new place!! Pictures to come. 

Sincerely, Kayla Marie
