Elyssa 1/365

I experienced my first time in the snow a couple days ago. Loved it! This is me making my first ever snow angel :).

Elyssa, 24

My name is Elyssa and it looks like I'm the baby of the posters thus far!

This photo was actually shot by Phyllis' little man, Z (as I like to refer to him.)

I'm a born and raised, very proud Texan who has wandered to a few other states the past 3 years but am now back to the "Motherland." I graduated a Longhorn with a fashion merchandising degree and decided to head in a different direction. I taught 2nd grade for a year which I absolutely LOVED and am now about to head back to school and pursue Nursing.

I have a dog, Cayenne, who will likely be the subject of many of my photo posts. She is my rock and I love her like a child and am sad when I'm away from her. (I wish the world were more dog friendly so I could bring her everywhere!)

The following are things I thoroughly enjoy:

• red wine
• sushi
• dark chocolate
• baking cookies and sweets
• music and concerts
• strong cheeses
• flowers
• photography

I look forward to seeing all the exciting photos posted on here!
