oh, october?

I pity myself when I see all of you talk about autumn, and realize how lucky you are to have that beautiful season that I have only ever been able to experience from photos or movies. I think of big piles of leaves, jumping in them and making messes (stereotypical or...?) and how the wind slowly becomes colder as the days grow by....

Anyhow, I can't believe that October starts after tomorrow, it's hysterical! Time has gone by so fast, yesterday felt like summer was just beginning. However, I am looking forward to so many things. (More blog posts, and Christmas being some of them.) I can't believe September is ending!!!

But just like I promised, here's a video I made to honor this fabulous month that's going to end so soon.

  Here's to
the sleepovers the baking dates the concerts the bowling party
& 
the people that made this month
e x t r e m e l y
entertaining.
October? Bring it! 

september

Remember when I first started my blog a year ago? (Please do NOT - by all means - frisk around my old posts, embarrassment at the highest level, I reassure you.) I'm sorry I don't have a blogaversary, or anything of the sort, I just want to say a simple thank you for being here, for reading. I honestly don't know how to thank you guys. I love you all very much. And because I do, and because it's the start of this hopefully brilliant month, (eeeep! new favorite word - brilliant) I made a video about a cozy weekend that I had with my amazing cousins in a beautiful log cabin.

It was kind of a bummer that the sun wasn't out the whole time - but we made the most of the weekend!   P.S, I caught Hannah (my cousin) on video while she was asleep! ha ha ha ha, take that. 
And here are some photos of the brilliant (eeeeep!) weekend I had!
