Loving: The cool autumn air, the rustling leaves, leaving the windows open at night. Everything that comes with the fall makes me so happy! M and I have a running joke that I love him a little bit more in the fall. I love everything a little bit more in the fall.
Reading: Interior Design Reference Manual: Everything You Need to Know to Pass the NCIDQ Exam. I'm studying for my professional exam later this month and may be just a little freaked out that life and work and health issues have gotten in the way of my studying. Regardless, I'm going to give it my very best! Besides, I'm better under pressure. :)

Listening to: The Lumineers. I listen to "Dead Sea" over and over on repeat. Might have been singing it out loud more than once on in my car. Whenever I get fixated on a beautiful, romantic song I always imagine how cool it would be played acoustically as a procession song for a bride to walk down the isle. In fact, I did that for months before my wedding until I settled on "Across the Universe". I know, weird, right?
Thinking about: How I need to take better care of my body. I've let my fitness go, gained some pesky lbs, and am ready to improve my lifestyle and get rid of this stomach madness I've had as of late. In that spirit, I'm prepping for a lunchtime run around the hood!
Surprised by: how fast our first three years of marriage have gone by. Next week is our third wedding anniversary. We both agree that it feels like longer (in a good way). The years have been full of many ups and downs but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Making me sad: Missing our Denver buds Jamie & Steven since they left on Tuesday. Having them here was just like back in Denver, and I wish we could hang out at a moment's notice like we used to. I love them!
