: :  i graduated from texas a&m university on may 11th!  the whole family came down to celebrate.

: :  i’ve been eating a lot of delicious food.

{amazing blue crab with housemade linguini and white wine with roasted tomato sauce, greens tossed with aged balsamic vinegar, pine nuts, and parmigiana reggiano from madden’s in downtown bryan.}

{the best chips and salsa i’ve ever had…fresh sweet potato chips and smoked salsa that’s to die for, from blue mesa grill.}

{flan sampler, also from blue mesa.}

{coconut and lemon cream cookie gelato on the second-floor terrace of central market in dallas.}

: :  my family also helped me move out…

: :  …and i said goodbye to 2535 teal drive.

: :  the next day, they helped me move into my new apartment in dallas (pictures coming soon!)

: :  i received my dad’s toyota camry as a graduation gift (so much better than the 2000 camry i drive right now!!)

: :  …and I start my new job in less than a week!

i feel so blessed right now.  i’m so thankful for my awesome family that has helped me so much in the past week, and i love my dear friends that i met in college.  i will miss them so much.  i’m looking forward to getting to know my new neighborhood and beginning work,  and i should be able to update the blog a lot more often as well!  (that’s the plan, anyway.  haha)
