Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

This past weekend was my first weekend off this month and I made sure to spend it outside with this pretty fall weather. 🙂 I just saw on my calendar that I have been working day after day with no breaks since October 4th. Twenty days of nonstop running around and I still run around on my days off, but at least it isn’t anything involving my office. 😉 I feel like this season goes by WAY too fast! I’m a fan of all seasons but I do love the fall activities. 🙂 With the Holidays just around the corner, it is an exciting time of the year! Saturday was spent at Gold Cup with friends and ended with a nice, warm bon fire at night. It was a HUGE day for JMU football with ESPN hosting on the JMU campus and Homecoming weekend, but it looks like the Richmond Spiders took the win for the game after we have been undefeated all season. It’s okay though because I’m sure we will come back stronger than ever after this game! I’m still in high hopes for National Championship! 😉 Sunday was a GREAT day for the Redskins (HTTR!!!) with an amazing ending … Who would have known that we could be a second half team! Haha! Majority of Sunday was spent apple picking, eating some YUMMY Red Truck Bakery goods, baking an apple dapple cake and the evening with my family. Perfect way to end the weekend! Oh and Pinteresting some decor ideas for my new house. 😉 It was a good night! Haha!I have one more “off” weekend before I finish up the season with two more weddings. Crazy how fast 2015 flew by! Looking forward to an exciting year next year!

So much to be featured on the blog this week and the weeks to come! Here are some sneak peeks full of color. 🙂 Happy Monday everyone!!
