Holidays

It's amazing how different the holidays are when you are grown up verses when you are a kid. I mean Thanksgiving for me when I was young was a time to pig out and eat lots of pie. It also meant time off school which was awesome. Now it still means time off from school, but now being able to just be with family and really being thankful for everything is the best part. I mean you don't realize when your a kid how much you have to be thankful for. Then there is Christmas, as a kid means PRESENTS and hopefully lots of them. Now honestly I couldn't care less about the presents I get. To me it means a time to be with family and just enjoy each other. Now more then ever that is all I want for Christmas. I barely get to see any of my family (including my husband) so just being with everyone and laughing and enjoying each other is amazing.
I just can't wait for Christmas, I get to back to California for the first time in a year! That is the longest I have ever been away from home. I am so excited I just can't stand it anymore I want to be there now.

 So this post is probably oh say 5 months overdue but hey that's just my style hahaha. Anyway here they are a few pictures of Art's "husband pad." That's my made up name for his place because it's his very first apartment on his own even though he is married, haha.

Top photo's are of the bedroom and closet

Middle are of the kitchen, front enterance and dinning area

Bottom photos are of the living room (which now has a new couch and bigger tv) I just can't find the updated photos at the moment

Beautiful Fall

This year has been an amazing year for fall. I must say that moving to the midwest does have a few upsides and the season of fall is one of them. If I am going to have to live through miserable winters then the other seasons must make up for it a little right? Fall the past few years I have felt has been such a short season, seriously has felt like only a matter of weeks long. For some reason this year we have been blessed with a long season, I mean it's November and we have yet to have snow (I know I just jinxed this by saying it but hey it is November). As I was driving to the gym yesterday I couldn't help but just be in absolute aw of the beauty of the fall color shining in the sun (yet another rarity in Ohio...sunshine). So I took a short walk when I got home from the gym to snap a few pictures. I must say I am no photographer and these pictures don't nearly do justice to the beauty of fall but hey at least I got something right?
