When you don't bring a proper backpack to go hiking with you have to steal the munchkin's Minion. We did get a 3 mile hike in today, so hopefully it's a good start to the new year!

A belated celebration of making it 2 years and 7 months. Beers on campus, it's like this school was made for me! Also, having @neightg019 on campus makes me happy and nostalgic to 9 years ago. #happygirl #anniversary

7 years ago I got to go watch the #Ralphie handlers practice. To this day it's still one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Thanks @thelostchef for that!
