It's days like today that make the weekend look so appealing. Like last Saturday, what a relaxing affair, especially after the State Fair on Friday night. We had a big breakfast, several pots of coffee, watched movies all day, and painted pumpkins at night!
It was delightful and exciting. The makings of a wonderful Saturday, the makings of a wonderful weekend.

We didn't have much on the agenda for the weekend, but Friday we did have one plan of action: the State Fair of Texas. Now, I don't really have a lot to say about the fair-I was pretty speechless for the most part-but I do have a few things I wanted to jot down:
Big Tex might be scariest thing I've ever seen in person. A giant talking, moving, Texan in pair of Dickey's jeans that would stretch from Dallas to Arlington.
The fried smore may be the best dessert I've ever had - besides coconut cream pie (nothing beats coconut!)
The fair was nothing short of a true Texas tradition: huge and expensive.
The food itself is/was without a doubt, the best part.
I had fun and walked until my feet hurt.
People watching.
More importantly, my best friend and my boyfriend made the experience fun!
It was a great time and now it's off my bucket list. We rode the train back to Big A's apartment and I remember thinking, "I'm (almost like) a real Texan now."

I haven’t spoken much on here about what’s coming up in
December but it’s a pretty big deal so let me tell you what's going down: On Sunday, December 13th, I’ll
be running my very first half marathon here in Dallas, Texas.
I bought this sweater/vest/scarf contraption in June and
finally found a way to style it and the perfect occasion to wear it to! It’s so
flow-y and comfortable, I actually can’t wait to wear it again. It’s from an
online boutique (link, here) that I absolutely adore!
The perfect occasion you ask? Disney’s Frozen on Ice!
It’s been an extremely long week. Like LONG. Luckily for me, tomorrow is Friday which means the work week
has finally come to an end. I don’t have much on the agenda,
