{things i'm really loving today & tonight...}

~the fact that i got eleven and a half hours of sleep last night! it was much needed after a week of getting 2-3 hours each night.
~the cooler weather up in Austin right now...ahh..i hope it stays like this all weekend.
~getting to wear layers and a long sleeve shirt (finally!)
~watching a late night showing of "Zombieland" with my sweetie.
(super fun movie! i highly recommend it.)
~snuggling under warm blankets
~eating warm chocolate chip cookies & ice cream :-P mmmm.....

I hope to be back blogging on a more regular basis. School this semester is driving me insane and it's taking up a lot of my time. :-/ Lame, lame, LAME.

I love all of the changing colors in Autumn.
All of the falling off and changing makes me yearn for a 'fresh start' myself.
Out with the old, bad, and negative...
In with the new, good, and positive!
Cheers for a beautiful Autumn and for turning over a new leaf.

My aunt had scanned these earlier this week for us so I thought I'd share. Some of them I had never seen before.

Here's me when I was little.

cold and wet. love and hate.

{photo by me}

I am completely having a love/hate relationship with this season right now.
I love seeing the beautiful autumn leaves that have fallen onto the ground. Ahh..I just want to take a zillion pictures of them! :)
But..
I hate being out in the drizzle, cold, and nastiness. I feel like I'm going to get sick.
:-/

Now I love the cold..just not mixed with rain.
Just my thoughts.
