I think I'll go for a walk outside

walk with me...

 Down the street from Rachel's apartment

The road less traveled

Nothing says "Tennessee Sunset" like the silhouette of a herd of cattle

The watering hole

Love,

Chels

How has my semester been so far?

Well...

 

My fridge looks like this on a regular basis 

We get together and do this on a not-so-regular basis

My face looks like this on a regular basis

My friends and I do this on a regular basis

The weather does this on a regular basis

I dress like this on a regular basis

And sometimes, when I really need it, this happens on a need-to-happen-spontaneous basis

Apparently French isn't well known in East Tennessee...

Love,

An ode to hydration...

While at Wal Mart I saw the most amazing hydration tank known to man.  I am now recognized by my 2.2 L jug.  I take it to every class, every lab, every meeting and most social gatherings.  Hydration is important...keeps me going through long days of lecture.

Well it seems my jug has siblings and my friend Ashley had adopted one.  It's the little things in life that keep me entertained and taking this picture was a big one for the day!

So raise your glass, bottle, cup, chalice, mug, or tank...
For a toast to the molecule I love most...
WATER :)

Love,

Tennessee Snow

It's snowing!!!

 

This was just the beginning... 

The flakes began to fall AND STICK!!!

The view out of my window!  And yes, my Christmas lights are still up :)

Just a little bit of frosting

I had a blast in the snow!  About 40 of us came out of our apartment, took a break from being medical students and played like we were kids again.  It was great!

My friend Sam and I were trying to catch snow!!

When it finally stopped snowing

The next morning!  So beautiful :)

First snow run in my new shoes!!

My running crew...we are so hardcore

Love,

Tennessee Sun

I thought the blog could use some pretty pictures of the sunrises and sunsets here!!

 This is the medical school building where I have many of my classes. 

It rains here all the time, anytime, out of the blue...literally.
