AHHHHHHHHHHH! 

MY FAVORITE MONTH OF THE ENTIRE YEAR IS JUST DAYS AWAY!

It's been a good month, a month of lots of visits to Hobby Lobby, and with my mother in-law coming into town tomorrow morning (hobby lobby is her fave store!) I'm thinking I will get to go a lot this weekend. I have taken my decorating obsession to new heights and began making our little apartment a home. I spent most of the past weeks stalking design blogs, then decided to make mine more into one myself. But the most exciting thing I have done this week.....

bought us as many HALLOWEEN decorations as I could fit in my little shopping cart! It is so exciting! we got 4 bundles of purple lights and wrapped them around the balcony railing, an orange spider web of lights with hanging spriders (ouuuuuu!) pumpkin hanging lights, and of course your traditional spider webs made of cotton. There is more to come, but I had to get started right away! I just love halloween!!!
Speaking of the mid-west...
How is the fall coming along in MICHIGAN my friends?

I may be biast, but I have to say that Michigan is honestly one of the most beautiful places in the entire world. I grew up there and my entire life thought it was nothing but ugly and boring. Now I find myself looking at pictures of it and nearly being brought to tears at how much I miss it. My friends, I am so incredibly jealous. I miss you MI.... I miss you so.
