hello fall ♥

So happy fall is finally here! I've been wanting it for the past month so so badly! I'm so loving the cooler temperatures, the slowly changing leaves...and goodness, I've been waiting forever to wear fall clothes! Boot weather is my favorite.

But most of all, I think I'm looking forward to fall because of the new experience, the new relationship in my life...it's all going to take on a new perspective. I loving every moment so far.

Read this short post on Zen Habits today - "The only way to Respond to Life"  Made me smile because its so true.

Loving this song so much right now.

this week

This week has pretty much been the best ever. So beyond anything I ever thought or dreamed it would be.   Every time I think about it I smile, and know I don't deserve it.


This lovely song has been on repeat all week. ♥  



So incredibly happy.

Smile

Came across this pin on pinterest this evening. Such a simple statement but oh so true. I know I would do well to remember it more often. Amazing what a simple smile can do for yourself as well as others. Has the impact to change a life, to uplift and encourage someone, and think how so easy it is to smile! Taking this quote with me into this next week because no matter what i know there's always something to smile about, and hello...that's what we're designed to do! ;)

Have a beautiful week lovelies!!

colorado recap

Getting home and looking through all my photos makes me miss it so much and the incredible time I had. Soaked up so much  while there...so much laziness, shopping ( probably too much shopping!) yummy food, fun car rides and just hanging out.

This scenery just gets me every time. Those majestic mountains are just so incredible.  I think I took just a few too many pictures of the mountains.

This was the first trip I'd ever taken with out my camera.  I almost felt lost without at and half way through the trip was kinda mad at myself for not bringing it, but it allowed me to enjoy it in a different way and for the most part I'm glad I did. And besides, taking pictures with a phone is fun too...you get such a different perspective than you do with a camera.

So summer pretty much feels like it's over now. I loved summer - every moment of it, but I'm ready for fall ~ I say bring it on! 

Road trip

My poor little blog has been so neglected the past few weeks! So much going on! Although I Love this busy season of life so much, I'm loving the break from it right now. Took a little road trip with my incredible friend to Colorado. Loving it so very much out here! The scenery is ever so pretty and the cooler weather is sooooo amazing! Cant get enough of being outside and soaking it all up. I can't imagine living where you can see mountains when you look out your windows...people are so lucky that get to live out here!

168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think.   By Laura Vanderkam -  Takes you through charting out your day to see where exactly you spend your time and lets you see how so much of it is spent on unimportant things or just plain wasted. Very eye opening.

 

Standing in the Rain by Mirage. I think this will always be my favorite song

 

Summer evening runs. It's been cooling off a bit in the evening and it's perfect for getting outside and breaking a sweat!

Nieces and nephews here for the week. Their sweet giggles and hugs are enough to make anyone happy!

Fresh basil. So so good. my favorite is fresh basil with noodles, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. The perfect lunch.

Staying up till the wee hours of the morning with a good book. Something about reading when the house is perfectly quiet - makes the book so much better.

This Tumblr Account. So many beautiful and inspiring images.
