Sunday Lovin': Part 4

Question of the day:

What says fall to you?

~~~~~~~~~

To me, fall is: beautiful leaves. pumpkin spice everything. sweaters. scarves. bundling up. bonfires. hot chocolate. football games. chilly weather. pumpkins. mums. makos. senior pictures.

Coming soon... A sneak preview of my senior pictures, taken by Dad!

Also coming soon... Pictures from our first swim meet yesterday! So proud of my Makos- y'all are awesome!

Have a lovely week!
Loving the fall colors!

Well, our fall break is over :( Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a fall break since I still had college classes. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving when I'll have a week off of everything! I didn't get as much done as I had wanted- college applications need to be finished and such. But I do have a nice clean room ~:-)

This week I have been working on my senior bio- what?! Crazy town!

Looking forward to starting a new week! Check out the One Thousand Gifts post below.
