Tonight, against my better judgement, we're going to a local haunted corn maze. To say that I'm nervous is an understatement. I don't do well with scary things! The last one we went to, I ended up breaking down in the middle of the maze because someone dressed as Pin Face from Hell Raiser wouldn't get off me. Kevin finally had to push him off me! And why am I going tonight?? I'm very easily coaxed into things by my friends. I don't do well with peer pressure either! I will definitely update you guys on how it goes!
Tomorrow, we're having pictures made with one of our really good friends. I'm definitely excited about this! She's thinking of taking us to a covered bridge and things like that! I'm really excited to have some Fall themed pica! I even picked us up a coordinating outfit. Yeah, we're one of those couples. I'm hoping we'll pick up a pumpkin on the way home and do some carving tomorrow night, too. I haven't carved a pumpkin in a really long time, so I'm really excited about that, too!
This coming week, Kevin and I both are on vacation! Wahoo! I'm so glad to have a break from work. I'm definitely burnt out on the place. We aren't going anywhere big because I have some stuff for school to finish, but we're trying to plan a day trip to Asheville, NC to visit Vance Birthplace. I have to visit a public history site for my research class, so we decided to go there after my professor suggested it. We also have a ton of cleaning to do around here. Sadly, the thing I'm looking foward to the most is sleeping past 8:00 every morning! Pathetic, huh?
Well, that's all for now! Hopefully, I'll update tomorrow with some pictures! Hope you ladies have a great Saturday!

Fall Is In The Air!
Good Saturday morning! Well, er, afternoon! The hubs and I are spending a lazy day at home and rooting on the Volunteers while they play the Gators. I'd love to see us pull out the win, but I'm more interested in seeing how the Gators do without precious Tim Tebow! ;)
Does anyone remember the book A Cranberry Thanksgiving? I can remember reading this book in kindergarten and it's one of the reasons I love Fall so much.
I know I talk about how much I love Fall quite a bit, but I wanted to post pics, too! I mean, how can you not love Fall with scenes like this?
I hope you ladies are having a wonderful weekend!

Happy Tuesday, ladies!
Good morning, lovlies! All is well here, aside from being dead tired this morning. What's new, huh?
First, I logged in this morning to see I have 24 followers! I know that is a small amount compared to what some of you have, but I was really excited. Thanks for following!
Now, on to the weekend! Mine was super busy with no time to rest, but I had a great time. Saturday the hubs went over to his best friend's apartment (which is actually right next ours) to watch college football, while I stayed home to clean. I couldn't tell you the last time our apartment got a good cleaning! It was a cool, beautiful day, so I turned off the a/c and opened our windows. It was so relaxing! I even put out our Fall decor. I'm definitely ready for Fall now!
Sunday was an absolutely amazing day! I don't know how often I've mentioned this, but when my mamaw passed away in 2000, our family had a huge falling out. About a year ago, some of my cousins and I decided we've had enough and we're tired of not having a family because our parents are mad at one another. Well, all of our determination has paid off and we had a family reunion Sunday! Words can't express how happy I was. Of course, some tears were shed, but we all had the best time. It was like we've never been apart. We've already planned our Christmas dinner and I can't wait!
Yesterday we spent the day at my in-laws and I had the chance to meet the hubs' aunt and uncle who live six hours away. I loved hearing all the stories they had to tell on my FIL! He was such a mean little boy! I have a feeling should we be blessed with a son, he will no doubt take after his papaw!
What about you guys? Did you do anything fun or just relax?

Back To School!
So, last night was my first class. I'm not going to lie. I'm completely overwhelmed and thought to myself "what the hell am I doing here??" several times! It started before class even began. Some girl, who I can tell I will not like, was talking about History and you can tell she just thinks she's suuuuuper intelligent. Throughout the whole class she had this smirk on her face that made me want to smack her! However, I did make a new friend and I'm really happy about that! She and I both were feeling the same way after class, so I have a feeling we're going to bond throughout the semester!
This class is not going to help my anxiety, which is getting progressively worse as the days go by, at all. At one point last night I felt panicked because we were going to have to tell a little about ourselves and even my professor saw it on my face. Aaaand he called me out on it. I could just feel my face getting red. I'm hoping that since it's only one day a week, I can get by with only a few panic attacks. We shall see though. We already have two assignments due by next week and one of them is an essay on a book about footnotes. Footnotes? Seriously?? I know, I know. This is all a part of becoming a Historian, but that doesn't mean it's always going to be fun and interesting! haha!
In other news, the hubs and I are 90% debt free!! I can't tell you what a relief this is. The day we paid off several of our bills, I cried I was so happy. It just felt like the world was lifted right off my shoulders. Things are lining up for us quite nicely and I couldn't be happier!
It's finally starting to cool off in the evenings here and Fall is definitely in the air! I think this also has a lot to do with my depression slowly, but surely, going away! You know how Fall/Winter depresses some people? It has the opposite effect on me. I don't wear sundresses or shorts, so I just don't get excited like everyone else does. Now Fall/Winter? I get excited! The area I live in is absolutely gorgeous this time of year and it's during this time, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else! I love the leaves, the pumpkins, Halloween, sweaters, coats and football! It all makes me very happy!
What about you guys? What's your favorite part of Fall?

Tired Tuesday...
Coffee is definitely my friend this morning. I had a hard time waking up this morning, despite one of the best night's sleep I've had in awhile. Weird how that works out, isn't it?
Last night, I babysat one of my best friends' daughter. We had the best time! We danced, we jumped on the couch (more like she jumped while I held her hands), we took a walk, we colored, we played outside and then we watched The Little Mermaid. I only put it on as background noise while she and I played around in the living room, but she loved it! So, we plopped ourselves down on the couch and watched it. It made me so excited for when it's my turn to have my own child and I can spend evenings like that with it. Hopefully, by then, I'll have more things to keep it entertained than poker chips! haha!
It's miserably hot again today and is supposed to be the same tomorrow. Shew, Fall where are you?? Sunday night Kevin and I watched the NFL game that came on and it made me even more excited for Fall. I love "football weather" and I can't wait to start watching Friday night football games! I don't care how old I am or even if it's my old high school, I will always love watching Friday night football.
