Today my To-Do list was really long.
I was stressed that I wouldn't get everything done.
Then I realized running errands meant driving down pretty streets lined with these gorgeous trees.

In this crazy-busy season, I've been trying really hard to enjoy the little things that I love about Autumn.
Wouldn't it be horrible if my favorite time of year passed while I was too caught up in tasks and schedules and errands?

Take a second to notice the golden glow of the leaves around you.
The smell of cinnamon and pine trees wafting from the shops as you pass.
It's really really lovely.
Don't miss it!

Bangs, Boots, and Ombre

I dunno, whatdya think?
I colored my own hair and tried to go for the ombre feel.
Maybe I could have darker at the top?
Either way, I like it.
And it's nice to have my bangs back.
They add style even if I don't do anything more than a quick blow dry.

And those boots?
$24 and Goodwill.
Thank you, Thank you. Yes, Thank you.
I'd been looking for months  and was determined to hold out for the perfect pair.
Viola!
Good things come to those who wait and I love my new boots!!


And aren't those leaves loooovely?!
It's November!!

October 31st Already?!

Happy Halloween!
So, did ya dress up?
We didn't.
Boo hoo.
But Camillo thinks we shoulda been a bank teller and bank robber.
Wouldn't that be cute?

Anyways, this week has flown by.
Wait, no, I mean this whole month!! 
In the next two weeks I'm planning/throwing a baby shower, shooting a wedding, finishing a family shoot, creating some awesome decor for church during Christmas, aaaaand working at the gym twice as many hours.
That's right.
I got a mini promotion at work.
It kinda freaked me out at first because it came as a surprise.
But this week has been great and I really enjoy the added responsibilities.
Makes me feel like a grown up.

Oh, guess what I did this weekend?

oh la la!

I'll show you tomorrow!!

Thank The Lord It's Finally Friday

For some reason, this has been the week that felt never ending.
I wasn't quite sure if I was going to make it.
Maybe it was the whole being sick ordeal, or the fact that I've had a long intern list of to-dos.
Or maybe it had something to do with work being laaame and having to wake up at 530am six of seven days.
But halelujah, it's Friday and things are looking up.

Yesterday I took a 2.5 hour nap (what?!) and got the baby shower invites done (HUGE check off the to-do list!)
Work was great today, the best day in 6 weeks if I dare say.
I found the gumption to clean house and wash dishes after work..
And tonight is date night!
For the next couple hours before Camillo gets home I'm going to watch a movie and work on another baby shower project.
I can't tell you exactly what I'm doing yet but here's a hint:

It's the best kind of movie/crafty afternoon..cold and dark with a little rain.
Like I said, thank the Lord it's Friday!
Do you guys have any weekend plans?

See you soon!
