Just sharing some photos that have been snoozing in my camera for a while.
October, you are awesome.

october so far.

Visiting the Thomas Wolfe Memorial House with my dad.

Lonnie and I went to a Hootenanny. This was technically back in late September, but I haven't gotten the chance to fit this photo in another post.

Taking a detour with my brother and grandmother to my aunt's house in Shelby. It was such a gorgeous day.

Flowers in front of The Moose Cafe, snapped this photo after taking my grandmother and my brother there for dinner. They loved it as much as I do. 

Spontaneous picnic beside the French Broad River with Lonnie.

Mini pumpkins I bought for my drawing class are now serving the purpose of my dorm room Halloween/autumn decorations.

I don't like candy corn, but I like these sugar pumpkins. A lot. Took a coffee break from a project and decided to buy these to nibble on because they were in the sandwich/coffee shop on campus.

october lately.

Eating at 12 Bones. This place is famous because apparently the president eats here when he's in town. It's kinda touristy but the food is worth it. So good.

Playing with Thomas at Lonnie's house. He belongs to Kyle's girlfriend and he is an absolute trip.

Buying this little guy at Target for 2 bucks. White pumpkins are my favorite.

Painting my nails for Halloween! It's really rough this close up, I know. But it still makes me happy.

Putting aside all my Halloween related media for easy access.

Getting ready to leave for the Sigma Nu Halloween Party. Olivia and Shai are our adopted hallmates.

a rush of blood to the head.

It is freezing here in Concord and as excited as I am, I'm equally terrified of going back to school at Asheville. I am going to die this winter. Everyone keeps saying that it's going to be a cold one this year.

In other news, being home this time around has been weird and not what I expected. It's been wonderful, though, let me stop myself before I sound misleading. I just stress out about coming home because I feel like there's so much to do and so little time. So I end up giving up, vegging out, watching TLC and cuddling with my dog (by the way, Breaking Amish is surprisingly wonderful. so entertaining). I guess there's really never enough time. I'm looking forward to Christmas this year more than ever. I'm so excited to have a month off of school to be home and surrounded by family and friends (and also a month away from mountain winter weather!).

Things start changing when the leaves do, and I'm hoping that will be a good thing this year. I'm excited about spending fall in a new city, especially in Asheville. Fall is definitely the most gorgeous of all in the mountains. I'm excited to head back to the farmer's market and go apple picking. I also really want to find a good pumpkin patch to go to. Halloween is so close and I'm doing everything I can to get in the spirit. I was lucky to be home in time to at least help with the decorations. Halloween is a big deal in my house. I make sure of that.

I was playing with self-portraits and only liked them in black and white but I decided to include them above anyway. After my age old 365 project, I don't take pictures of myself anymore and I'd like to have at least a new facebook profile picture every now and then. Nothing majorly fancy here, just enough to document myself as I age.

The rest of the images are from a trip Samm and I took downtown back in September. They're not my favorite pictures, but it was a good day and I wanted to include it.
