happy weekend, everyone!

i could not be any more excited for the next few days.
we are going to try out a new restaurant in town tonight. it’s an in-season gourmet pizza shop & i have heard it’s amazingly delicious. tomorrow morning i am going to purchase some fall pumpkins from the farmer’s maket. i plan on spending the rest of the afternoon making pumpkin cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting {jess, i’ll tell you all about them!} the rest of the evening will be spent relaxing at home & possibly watching a movie.

& with the fall weather, i am itching to go apple-picking. some apple pies & apple butter are in order! perhaps a trip to the orchard will happen!

i wish you a relaxing weekend full of good food + fun!

good conversations, the beginning of a winter scarf, fresh eggs from a friend’s hens, trips to the farmer’s market, delicious meals from this month’s issue of real simple, an evening of crafts with close friends…
all of these experiences have been such encouragements to an otherwise difficult week.

& what’s even more encouraging is the connection that luke + i have shared about our upcoming adventures in farming. we’ve set our sights on the possibility of moving to vermont, oregon, or maine in hopes of working on an organic farm and rooting ourselves deep into the communities of whole food. we are so excited!!

of course, we still have eight months until we graduate, and i am constantly reminded of the blessings i am given each + every day. there is still so much to invest in here & i am incredibly thankful.

meet the newest member of our family, huckleberry!
we fell in love with him at the local animal shelter & the next day, picked him up & brought him home. he’s such a sweet pup! he loves chewing on his toys, taking walks around the neighborhood & eating treats. we are in love!
