After a full week of nothing but clouds and rain, it cleared up on Saturday and ended up being a beautiful day! Josh and I took advantage of the nice weather and went to Brandywine Falls, which is about thirty minutes from where we live. We went hiking, saw beautiful fall leaves, waterfalls, and even had a picnic! It was great to get outdoors while we still can and it's amazing how beautiful it is in the fall time here. I ended up taking about a hundred pictures, but I won't bore you with all of them...just a few of my favorites.
On the hike, we had to cross over the river and this is where we did it. The rocks are NOT stable we found out, but we both managed to get across with out falling in. Just our shoes and jeans got a little wet.
Josh wanted to cross over on this log, but after a few steps of his shoes sliding everwhere, he decided against that :)
This was nestled back off the trail and the river, but I loved all the leaves around it!

Falling in Love with Fall
Being in Ohio for a full year, I have decided that Fall is me FAVORITE season here. Winter is WAAAY to long and cold, spring doesn't come soon enough and summer is not much of a summer! But the fall here is BEAUTIFUL! The many different colors of leaves are gorgeous! I don't think I have ever seen anything like it before I moved here! I am really excited for this fall. The leaves are just barely starting to change colors! Since I didn't take ANY pictures last fall, I am determined to take lots this year! And I have already started! Here are a two of my favorites so far!

I took both of these pictures on my scenic drive to Hobby Lobby, which is about 30 minutes away! The drive was beautiful and so was Hobby Lobby! I had forgotten just how great Hobby Lobby really is! I went and spent about 2 hours in there looking at TONS of different things and there was still a lot more that I could have looked at! I miss Hobby Lobby soo much! I wish there was one closer, but maybe it's a good thing there isn't one! What's your favorite season and why?

Projects!
I have been working on a lot of projects lately and I have been able to get most of them done this weekend! WooHoo! This year I have really been looking forward to Halloween! We are having fall weather and I'm loving it and I can't wait for Halloween! Here are some of the things I have done! I saw some foam spiders at JoAnn's for $1/each....they were a little too expensive for what I wanted to do with them, so I just bought some black foam and cut out my own spiders! I ended up with getting 4 for a dollar! And here is my lovely display of spiders. (this is what you see when you come up the stairs to out duplex. The door on the right leads you into the kitchen, the door on the left leads you to the living room. Make any sense?) I also made this Halloween sign. I just need some ribbon to hang it with. This will actually go where the "Boo" sign is now once finished! I just modge podged this sign!

FUN!
Josh and I have been able to do a lot of fun things these past couple weeks. After a LOOONNNGGG test week for the both of us, Josh flew out to Dallas to meet his dad and brothers and watch the BYU/OU game! They had a ton of fun and Josh was very happy that things worked out and he was able to go to the game. What made it even better, for Josh, was that BYU won! Here are a few weeks that Josh was able to take at the game. He took a lot more and could probably do a whole post on his 48 hours in Dallas, but that's won't ever happen.
This lady was HILARIOUS! We watched her more than the actual concert! First of all, we LOVED her outfit. Then she had a boy with her who looked way younger than her and we were trying to figure out how they knew each other. At some points they were a little friendly. But we still have NO idea if it was her son, brother, friend or husband. And the best part of her was her dancing! Yes, she danced. I wish I could get my camera video function to work on my computer! It was the best :)Sunday, August 30, 2009
Favs
I forgot to show everyone my FAVORITE part of our new place! If you noticed, we may not have a dishwasher (other than Josh or myself) but we do have a WASHER AND DRYER! It has been sooo nice to have these two appliances. I don't know how we ever did a full year of not having our own! Since we live in a duplex (with friends on the lower level), we have a split basement. So we just got together with our friends and split the cost of the washer/dryer set! We couldn't be more happy in our new place!
