in which i embrace fall

so friday i decided that this weekend was going to be a fall weekend because i'm reallyreallyreally sad that winter is coming so FAST and fall is slipping through my fingertips. i've hardly been able to enjoy it because i've been busy coping with the fact that i'm going to be cold for the next 5 months (this takes some serious mental preparation people). bonus, though, we did whip out the down comforter this weekend and with it, our new duvet. so naturally bedtime is much more exciting these days.

and so the weekend was a fall one. i woke up and went to the farmers market, i drank hot chocolate, and i went hiking with karlie. karlie is one of those girls who can chatter about nearly anything, and so we chattered about nearly everything from marriage to school to jobs to life and the colors of fall left us super enlightened. does is blow anyone else's mind how GOLD the leaves get in the fall? it is unnatural and it makes me giddy.

sunday was the sunday-est of sundays complete with afternoon nap, some light internship shopping (still not sure what this internship will kill first, me or my bank account) and family dinner and football. pumpkin chocolate chip cookies were had in much abundance and i finally got to try my sister in law's famous raspberry tarts, and there was much rejoicing. treat season i could kiss your face.
