Fall Color

It's starting to look like fall in Georgia!We got to see this beautiful fall color this weekend at the lake. We had a great campsite right on the water and the weather was gorgeous!

Homemade Vanilla

I made my first batch of baked goods with Andy's delicious homemade vanilla this weekend. I'll have a full post later on this week, but for now, here's a sneak peek at the yummy vanilla.If I had known it would have turned out so good, we would have had homemade vanilla a long time ago. Thanks again, Andy!

Hurry Up Christmas!

Fall has been fantastic this year and with all the upcoming holidays I can hardly think of anything but...
sparkly Christmas ornaments...and presents under the tree!I've begun my Christmas shopping and this week should be able to get started on Christmas crafts and my master plan for Christmas baking. Thankfully, October is nearly over (where did it go so quickly?) and I've got Fakesgiving, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's to look forward to. It's going to be fabulous!

Photography and More!

I'm excited that I've got my first photo shoot since fall started lined up for this afternoon! I'll be wandering around downtown Augusta taking pics for my friend Stacey and her fiance, Ryan. We're working on their Save the Date photos and Christmas pics and I'm really excited. Stacey and I had some cute ideas as to how to incorporate their date in the photos and I think the end result will turn out really cute. I'll post a few pics after we're all done.

This weekend was pretty good, too! I went to Columbia Friday night to visit the fabulous Miss Twyla and deliver some furniture to her new townhouse. It's turning out to be really cute and I hope that maybe on my next visit I'll be able to take some photos. (I am however, still jealous of her brand new fridge, which is like the Cadillac of fridges. The only thing better would be a stainless steel Sub-Z.)

Saturday we went down to the 'Boro to see Andy. It was a little too cold and wet for the football game but we did a little bit of shopping at Hobby Lobby (I can't wait till we get one here!) and tried the new BBQ joint in town. I was finally able to get the supplies to start working on some of my Christmas crafts, which I'm excited about. I'm also looking forward to baking some delicious treats with the homemade vanilla extract that Andy made for us. It smells so good! If either of those projects turn out cute, I'll post them on the blog. We also made a pit stop at a few of our favorite watering holes. It's nice to see that some things never change down there.

New Moon

I think I was the last person on the plan to read Twilight and see the movie. I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, but the book was great, the movie was super enjoyable and the soundtrack is constantly playing on my ipod. In case you haven't seen the trailer yet b/c you're living under a rock, here ya go!

Looks like there's going to be a bunch of great movies this fall, I can't wait for New Moon or The Blind Side!

Missing Key West

The weather has finally cooled down which is great, but the past few days have been cold, rainy, and gray. No fun! I'm really wishing I was back on my honeymoon in beautiful Key West, Florida.

I could make funny faces and silly photos all day.I could wander around all day and enjoy the gorgeous weather on my bike.Instead of looking out my window and seeing no sun and no clouds, I'd much rather look out (or be outside already) and see a view like this:
Now the only question to ask is, When can I go back to Key West?!?

Changes...

Along with the changing of seasons (can it please get a little cooler down South?!?) I've decided (or rather, was forced b/c Google wouldn't let me transfer my blog to a different email account) to change and update the blog! So along with my new blog address I'm hoping to update the design a little bit and start posting more often. It's starting to feel a little bit less summery around here. Of course, once the temps dropped just a smidgen it's been rainy and gray outside. I would love some clear fall days, leaves of various fall colors and weather cool enough to enjoy a pumpkin spice latte without breaking a sweat! Thankfully there is much to look forward to. The fair starts here on Friday, I am doing a breast cancer walk on Saturday and pretty soon it will be Halloween. Right afterwards I get to enjoy one of my favorite holidays, Fakesgiving! I can't wait!
