VACATION – We started out the month with a sweet little weekend getaway in this beautiful mountain town. It was a much-needed time away for just the two of us, and we spent a lot of time just relaxing, drinking coffee, reading, and sightseeing. We took a canoe ride around the lake one afternoon and had a picnic lunch, went for a hike in the woods, and enjoyed the beautiful foggy mornings overlooking the lake.
NIGHT OUT – Double-date with my brother+sister-in-law (even if they did practically force me to eat tuna tartare *shudder*)
MUSIC FIND – This one has definitely gotten a lot of play time this month (the whole album is amazing actually!)…but this one was a close second and this one a close third.
PURCHASE – A pretty little black shift dress off of ebay for six little dollars (including shipping!).
DRINK – Pumpkin spice latte from my uncle’s coffee shop in North Carolina (he makes his own syrups from agave and natural ingredients).
NEW DISCOVERY – Immersion blender! Best kitchen purchase ever.
RECIPE – Apple butter. So yum and we use it on everything – baked oatmeal, waffles, yogurt, muffins, toast, etc. etc. etc.
READ – Becoming Myself by Staci Eldredge (so good!)
MEMORY – Watching a best friend walk down that church aisle, absolutely glowing with the beauty of Jesus and with love for her new husband.
CHALLENGE – “Let (your beauty) be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.” I Peter 3:4
September was a good month. And now autumn is here, the leaves are changing, and it’s getting colder. Fall is a gorgeous time in the Finger Lakes, and sometimes the colors of the trees and the lake together take my breath away. And the cooler weather isn’t all bad…it just means scarves, boots, sweaters, hot drinks, and cozy soup dinners. Bring it on!
How was your September? What was your favorite of the month?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Favorite of the month: all the Pumpkin Spice Latte's I drank on vacation. I never spend for Starbuck's, but somehow vacation had a way of attaching my cash to the starbucks register. 🙂 And the divine weather. It just doesn't get more amazing than it's been.
1. Wanna see your dress! 2. (sometime secretly tell me what an immersion blender is) 3. PTL for PSL! And a side note… I'm excited that you are excited for the coming season(s)… If I see you looking cold or grumpy I'll just bring you some apple butter & the a new scarf ;] <³Patty
I didn't understand the wonders of immersion blenders until…believe it or not, Micah introduced me to his…wow. All the colors just look their best in fall. It's a time to rejoice in memories of the past year and look forward to the next.
