feeling like fall in tennessee....like everyone else, it is my favorite season. we just celebrated my 29th birthday this week, visited a pumpkin patch, drank apple cider, and huddled around a bonfire.

i love to travel - the further away the better. however in a pinch, it is also surprisingly fun to be a tourist in your own city. my husband and i rarely explore our own city, because we get bogged down in the day to day or we go to our favorites places instead of trying new places. this may was joshua's 30th birthday - i can hardly believe it! back in june, i decided to surprise him with a staycation here in nashville. we have such a fun city - come visit (i highly recommend the nashville scooter tours)!

today is my 28th birthday! i will have to wait for the birthday festivities till this weekend, as i have another exam in three days, but i am excited for a birthday drink, gone girl with my best friend, celebrating with family, and of course planning for hawaii! i have always loved having a birthday in october as this month is full of all the best fall activities - pumpkin patches, leaves changing, crisp cool weather, and halloween parties.
what are you up to this weekend? here's to hoping 28 is going to be WAAAAY better than 27 was :) this year has been a hot mess.
i hate winter. i guess i just haven't been ready to say goodbye to october yet....it is my favorite month, the best weather, and also happens to be when we celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. this is my formal bid farewell to fall and a summary of our month in instagrams. second anniversary * 27th birthday * natalie and matthew visited * catbird seat * started this blog * neighborhood party * trip to chattanooga. farewell october. you have been the best!
