October Awesomeness

- Sitting across from my guy, listening to awesome music by Flyleaf and Anberlin, and feeling like I may be able to write a devotional after all.

- My Saturday holy hour (and just adoration in general).

- A latte on a cold fall day.

- Walking and running through beautiful leaves.

- Developing a craving for salads :P

- Just, ya know, having the God of the universe available to talk to whenever. And being able to consume the King of kings and the Love of my life in daily Mass... ya know... nbd ;) 

- Also, having the best friend in the whole wide world to patiently listen to you cry,whine and stress and then comfort me.

- Getting a package from home with my mom's traditional pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They taste like...home :)

- Getting a belated birthday present from Matthew -- he gave me a pair of really gorgeous earrings.

- Taking a hot shower after freezing outside for 10hours.'Twas heavenly. Then changing into warm sweatpants and a hoodie -- Bum Status!

- Getting alot of new music for free (thank you, flash drives.)

- My weird friend! Last night Ben stole my hat and had it in his holy hour. Joe (who is in his holy hour) sees Ben with my hat and as he leaves, steals Ben's pipe. Joe then calls me, laughing hysterically, that he put Ben's pipe under Jesus' arm in our nativity scene. "He's surrounded by flowers and there's now a pipe next to him!"

O, people :)

Have a wonderful day & God bless!!

From the Colors of Fall...Indescribable.

This gorgeous fall afternoon, Molly and I went on a walk with our friends Ben and Jonathan and took some photos -- I thought I'd share them (it also doubles as an outfit post! *cha ching*!)

Isn't she so beautiful?!

I love the way she dresses; so simple, classic, modest -- just like her :)

She really knows how to dress for her body and what flatters her.

She's gorgeous.

Simple Joys!

1.) This gorgeous fall weather :) leaves everywhere, an occasional brisk wind, a brilliant blue sky and tights and boots everywhere! 

2.) Megan Dougherty & Hank Gettinger's wedding!
It was the first really Catholic wedding I've been to. The prayer before communion has especially stuck in my mind but the whole wedding was focused on God and it was so beautiful. There was so much joy and love... it was awesome :)

so beautiful & happy!

4.) This new laptop decal:

5.) Decorating (ninja style) Molly's room for her birthday.. and seeing her reaction!

We also cooked her dinner :)

6.) Anberlin's new album Vital. SO GOOD!!

7.) Getting good feedback from one of my literature teachers. It was perfect timing since I had been feeling like I was hopeless as a writer and failing that class.

"Liz, you start out good, but then lose your Thesis. Still, good prose."

This really smart, awesome, knowledgeable literature professor referred to my writing as "good prose"? I knew I didn't fully understand the thesis of the essay I was summarizing, but it's comforting to know I may have a skill with which to work... once my brain decides to catch up :P

God bless & have a wonderful day!
