the perfect way to kick off fall!

i just love going to fall festivals/fairs! i haven't gone in a few years and the one i went to last night was just so much fun! it's the perfect way to welcome in fall, in my opinion! i went with ashley and alicia and we had a blast! funnel cake, hot apple cider, caramel apples, cotton candy and more...its just all the best parts of fall crammed together! they had the cutest petting zoo and we got to see goats, llamas, camels, zebras, and more. i haven't gone on any rides in years but i sure got to last night! i love the ride where you go up really high - sit there for awhile - and then plummet down! i'm actually quite scared of heights but the rush you get afterwards is totally worth the scary ride up! we stayed at the fair until almost midnight just walking around and taking in the sights and having fun. alicia and i ended up going on one of the kids slides that was a HUGE shark one. its funny because its totally for kids but it was seriously the best slide ever! i forgot how much fun they are! you can tell i teach preschool right? i would totally go down slides like that with my kids! ha. it was a really fun evening and i can't wait to do other fall activities during the month of october! we want to go to six flags for frightfest, go to a pumpkin patch and go on a hayride, go to haunted houses and cornmazes...and lots more! i just love the season of fall and all that comes with it! october is such a fun month.


my parents are here today. my mom is doing an arbonne party for some friends of hers and my dad just repainted my bedroom. yay! its a dark tan color and it matches my reds/blacks/tans that i recently redid my bedroom in. what fun. i'm all about painted walls and changing things up from time to time! thank goodness my dad used to do painting professionally so he does it for free for me and he does an amazing job! kind of sad that i'll only be here for about ten more months and that's it but at least it will look good for those ten months! i sure do love my apartment...i'm happier when i'm home than when i'm anywhere else :)
