All of the Lights…
Dec. 10, 2011—Last night, I took what was probably one of my favorite study breaks. We got together a group from the Vanderbilt BCM to go see the lights at the Opryland Hotel.

Nov. 8, 2011—Today, the weather was absolutely amazing! The high was right around 70. There was a nice breeze and the sun was shining. I wore a skirt and flip-flops. It was just perfect.
