Here's to the weekend!


My last weekend as an under-ager...to be exact.
It is suppose to get down to 30 degrees here because of this dang cold front! Woah! I don't know if I can handle 70 down to 30 in one day. It's gotta be gradual, come on. 
But honestly, as much as I would like to think I'll just snuggle up all day and hibernate, I know there will be plenty of time for that come the actual winter where we are snowed in days at a time. So this weekend will be spent playing with puppies at the humane society (eee!), hiking and photographing the beautiful changing of the leaves, farmers market visits, and drinking pumpkin ale. And probably a bit of homework too...

Hope you have a wonderful, Autumn-y weekend as well!

This crazy girl whom I love

So Sunday morning my best girl, Aline Louise, was evacuated from her apartment at 6:30 a.m. and by last night she had to be moved into a new house all because of a stinkin' sink hole! and let me tell you, it has been the craziest of months for this gal, but she has kept it together through every single thing thrown at her. She has kept it together so well, that I almost began to freak out for her. Of course, everything has worked out, and good, happy things have been found in the maybe not-so-good-at-first-glance events of this surprise filled September. So I decided to dedicate this post to Ali, her refreshing outlook on everything, and the start of October, a new month, a new season, a new house, and new happy things.

Some happy thoughts that will make Ali smile, for sure:
frequent chipmunk sightings/dancing
two free hotel rooms in one month!
Murder in the City
"Its goooood"
a flurry of falling yellow leaves 
the goodness in people that you don't often see
the smell of mountain air after a rain
red barns :]
farmers market mornings
vertical incense burners
long car rides that make you nuts
finding encouragement and excitement in something you never thought would make you smile
frolicking with friends
meeting new wonderful people
encouraging words
having your best friend around all the time

Now seems like a better time than any

Hello! Its me, Hannah. The girl who is suppose to be writing on this blog. Here I am. Back for more.
I've decided now is a better time than any to blog again, because, once again, I have lots to say.
But first of all, I am starting with now and not filling you in on the past 3 months. 
All you need to know about my life since my hiatus:
1. I moved to Boone, NC.
2. I live with my friend Chloe and her pet pig, Armani.
3. I changed my major to Health Promotion.
4. I am in love with where I am at in my life right now.

So my first post hiatus blog post is being written in my mountain abode, sharing a couch with a Vietnamese pot belly pig, listening to Van Morrison, and drinking some Chai.
Haven't you missed me? hah.

Today we found a lovely "Escape" up the street from our apartment and decided to have a little date with my roommate and her boyfriends pets.

Meet Bachi, Ben, and Bleu.

Moo Moo eating doing some landscaping, what he does best.

Hope your weekend was as great as ours!
