an imageless post

more so an update on what's coming up

 and how excited and anxious I am about it all. 

 one

for some reason, at the beginning of every semester

 I get super nervous. 

 like it's the first day of school, 

 which it is, but I should be use to it considering

 its every four months or so.

 I guess just the anticipation of the teachers

 and upcoming work and deadlines

 is what makes me so nervous.

 butterflies and anxiousness start even

more so august 23rd. 

Fall semester schedule

 every Tuesday and Thursday

Photography I

 Topics in the History of Art

speaking of Fall

 I can hardly contain myself 

in excitement for the season. 

I am trying so hard not to get all of the 

 bins from in the attic and

 decorating too early!

 I just keep telling myself

 September 1st.

 it's not a summer month

 so I consider it okay to go ahead

and decorate, and I will!

a super plus that I love about Fall

perfect weather

all things pumpkin;

 pumpkin bread

 pumpkin cookies

pumpkin soup

 pumpkin patch

pumpkin everything

 halloween

thanksgiving

crock pot dishes

 homemade soup

homemade chili

 and sooo much more!

 I'll have a Fall feature too.

 Adriana has open house August 23rd

and starts school on the 25th!

 I absolutely am still beside myself

but so entirely excited that my little lady 

 gets to embrace learning like she does at home.

 I am ready to see how much she thrives

 and how much she loves school. 

 It's all she can talk about

 which eases my anxiety about her being 

 away from me in an unfamiliar

 but soon to be familiar place.

 I may become a big bowl of mush-

but I'll get over it soon enough.

 I am just so darn proud of her. 

 I am so excited to make her bento lunch box lunches

 which I will be making a feature here

 for everyone to enjoy and make themselves!

 Adriana wants her first day lunch to be:

 sushi, homemade brownie bites, 

 strawberries, whole wheat crackers

 and chocolate milk!

 She even has her first outfit picked out-

jewelry, hair clips and all <3

 I just can't wait to share the moment with all of you!

what do you have coming up that you are excited about?

 do you love Fall as much as I do?
