oh hey Friday!

After a bit of a heavy topic the other day, 

I've decided that today has to be about the things that make me smile.

I promise we're not all about doom & gloom over here.

[though first, I have to send out a major thank you! I received so much love and support, I already feel a thousand times better. And I can already feel the prayers, maybe with that many prayers this will be the month! haha, one can hope :)] 

So here are the top 5 things that are making me happy lately:

|| one || 

Lunch dates with my one & only.

Plus, his new haircut (not pictured). I was skeptical at first but now I love it!

How'd I get so lucky??

 || two ||

New shoes, need I say more?
[found here. for me, it was a bit of a splurge but worth every penny.]

|| three ||

Going on walks at sunset.

The majesty of this world just never gets old.

|| four ||

Watching the leaves change color.

I love fall.

Is it my favorite season? That's debatable.

I love each season for different reasons but I think fall & winter take first with spring & summer coming in a close second mostly because I don't like to be too hot.

And I really love hot chocolate, hot baths, boots, & snow.

Nature in general. Tristan's work just happens to be in a gorgeous location.

Now join me in linking up with Karli at September Farm and Amy at The Farmer's Wife. And happy Friday! Though Friday is technically my Monday this week, I look forward to hearing about everyone else's fun weekends!
