tree

how amazing are these photographs?

artist myoung ho lee separates the tree from its surroundings

by hanging a canvas behind it.

i think they're absolutely beautiful.

sunday night movie in the park

by the time sunday evening rolled around

i desperately wanted to get out of the house
after being cooped up indoors all weekend thanks to a sore throat and fever.
i still wasn't feeling great
so bennett and i decided to head over to east nashville
to catch an outdoor movie.
i think it was just what the doctor ordered
because by the next day i was feeling better.


we brought a blanket
and a box of kleenex (my new best friend)
and watched the princess bride
one of bennett's all time favorite movies.
it was so relaxing and we'll definitely be going back for the next movie.

plus, they had free popcorn and popsicles
and locally brewed beer for $5.
i mean come on...
how else would you want to spend your sunday evening?

for the next 5 days...

i will be living here.

on the beach.

in hilton head.

doing absolutely nothing.

ohmygoodness.

home

our little vacation to the biltmore was absolutely perfect!

we had such a wonderful weekend

filled with a tour of the house

oohing and aahing at all of the fall trees

a wine tasting of the most delicious wines

and wandering around downtown asheville.

but now we're back

and i have loads of assignments due

and it's cold and rainy

and i have no idea what to be for halloween!

...ideas?

sometimes

sometimes i forget to see the wonderful in things

think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy

what a day

today was such a wonderful day.

after a massive amount of snuggling bennett and i went to goodwill with my little sister ellen. we then went to the farmer's market where i finally purchased my...drumroll please....cactus! i had been wanting one for a while now and i finally have one that sits perfectly in my window sill. and bennett ended up getting a venus fly trap that he named perelandra (i'm still thinking of a name for mine, but i think i may just call him cactus). After that, a quick game of chess, and then we went with his brother to see this movie which i actually kind of enjoyed (despite the blood, guts, and gore). then my dad came over to my apartment and he helped me get our living room put together. my little apartment is finally starting to feel like a real home. and, of course, bennett just came over to tuck me in goodnight and i remembered how much i love him and how incredibly blessed i am.

oh and i lied a couple of posts ago. we didn't end up seeing paper heart but we are going to soon!
