fall

well, we all know that i am missing school. but i have been so busy doing work outside of work, i feel like i have homework each night! i am so thankful for my friends that are putting their trust in me to make beautiful moments in paper. i only hope that i can fulfill their visions! (and i am so thankful for my mom & scott for creating connections for me - i am so excited to get the chance to do what i love!)

the weather has been cooling off in the evenings and the mornings, and i am so excited to pull out my sweaters & scarves (in fact, i am wearing one right now!). i love the heat of the summer, but if this weather could last forever, i would be perfectly happy. like most people, i am in want of a new fall wardrobe that includes a shrunken boyfriend blazer (in gray or navy) and some adorable boots. plural, because i need several pairs. however, i'm holding off in buying anything (not only because i'm broke) because i may be in need of a more business like closet very soon. in 15 days i'll be home to see what is next for me! not that those particular items couldn't be mixed into a business wardrobe, right? hopefully i'll be able to splurge a little in october...(fingers crossed!)

i have been waking up early each day this week and going to bed around 11 each night. it feels good to wake up and not be rushing from the shower to the car to work. i actually get to enjoy my breakfast, the today show & a morning cup of hot cocoa. it's been lovely & puts me in a much better mood by the time i get to work. this new routine is doing wonders. it also gives scott & i a few more minutes together (i know, i'm a cheeseball) because his schedule is so busy & hectic. i've never seen him this stressed out over school. i'm hoping that some of the pressure will be released soon...for his sake & mine! it has been okay though, he is clearly doing what he loves and that makes me very excited for his future. his boss at the restaurant told him that he is doing a great job at work their and can tell he really enjoys what he does. :)

this weekend is labor day & marks the kickoff to the best sports season EVER! the hawks & mizzou both start their seasons this saturday & although i won't be able to attend either of the games in person, i will be there in spirit. and checking scores regularly while i'm at work! i am so excited for the following two weekends, missing out on this big one doesn't mean the end of the world to me. it will be weird to attend mizzou games as an alum this year. does that mean that i have to do the z-o-u instead of the m-i-z?! i refuse.

happy thursday, loveys!
