First of all, thank you to everyone who commented (and emailed/Facebooked/text messgaed) me about my last post.

Wow. I didn’t expect to receive so much support and advice. I love the blogging community and the amazing friendships I’ve made. I will definitely keep everyone updated on my situation and how I’m handling things!

The temperature was 39° when I woke up the other day, and I continued to be crabby about the chilly weather by complaining to Jimmy. I better suck it up because I lived through 8° weather in January!

I’ve been listening to this song way too much.

Hannah stole my phone the other day and took some selfies. Now they are on the internet. Love you, Hannah 😉

I’m really sorry, but I think Crocs are my favorite shoes. I even wear them out in public.

Fall weekend

My weekend was very fall-ish. I loved it.

I started off the weekend by breaking into my house on Friday night. It was pretty awesome. Jimmy and I went out to dinner and my parents had left the house as well and locked the front door. When I got home, I realized that I didn’t have my house key… so I just climbed through the window and Jimmy took my picture. I typically break into my house 4-5 times a year.

On Saturday I went for an 11 mile run on some killer hills. Jimmy and I went to a pumpkin patch/farmer’s market and he carved a punpkin while I (sadly) did homework. Jimmy carved the word “Minecraft” into his pumpkin. It’s a video game. I just laugh at him sometimes. We roasted pumpkin seeds with Old Bay seasoning. I really want to roast them with cinnamon and sugar next time!

Sunday was spent at church and running a 5k. Sunday was also 47* and rainy.Hannah and I at church.

To not make this post drag on forever (and because I have to leave for school soon), I’m going to blog about the 5k in my next post :).

How was your weekend?

Bible verse of the day: Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1
