thankful for pumpkin pie.

every year around thanksgiving, pumpkin pie makes me miss my dad. it is one of my favorite desserts, and it was my dad's very favorite. ever since i can remember we would make it together. it's such a simple recipe. he didn't really need my help to make it, but he always wanted my help. it's something i miss and cherish. for the past three years i still make him his pumpkin pie and eat a slice just for him! so, i'm thankful for pumpkin pie and the memories i cherish because of it.

elvis is still in the building.

this past weekend i ventured down to nashville to see one of my favorite people...miss chelsey! it was so fun to get to visit her and see how she does life there. we laughed A LOT, we played, we shopped, we talked, we ate, we met friends, we ate, we tried to go to concerts-we failed, we laughed, we saw elvis...he is still alive. i'm really happy about this! it was such a fun weekend! thankful for her and our friendship!

happy halloween.

i spent my day eating candy, hanging with a witch, and people asking me where's waldo? hope your halloween was extra spooky and full candy!

fallin'.

it's officially my favorite part of the year. the leaves are painted with pretty reds, oranges, and yellows. i can wear my beloved blue jean jacket with everything. this fall has been full of pumpkin bread, cozy sweaters, boots, camping, crisp weather, fall festivals, football games at my old highschool...go dawgs, adventures to asheville, singing my heart out to my bff t. swift. (what would i do without her?) so here's to fallin' in love with fall, once again.

friends.

no, not the tv show. these are some friends almost as great as ross, rachel, monica, chandler, phoebe, and joey. just kidding they are better. since becoming a working girl it has been hard to see my friends. i'm tired after work, other's schedules are crazy, or i'm already in my pajamas...which happens a lot. it has taken a bit of adjustment too.since i don't see my friends as much as i used to, i savor the times when i do even if all we do is sit, it's special to me. so here are some of my babe of my friends on a night on the town. we sure did paint it red.

moonshine monday.

on monday, tennessee welcomed kathie lee and hoda in a big orange way. it was a sea of orange, tons of posters, and lots of rain. it was so fun to see them in person, get all hyped up for the show, and kind of be a part of it. it's pretty apparent that they left vol fans...i mean who wouldn't? even though it rained, i would do it all over again! plus kip moore was pretty good to look at...i could do that again.

life lately.

this is my life according to pictures. some of them borrowed.
