SeptemberFest

So it's been a while since either of us have blogged, but we've been so busy with our totally interesting lives. Last year, Shelby and I had a very eventful October. It will forever be known as Octoberfest. This year, our September was very similar...but better. It will forever be known as Septemberfest. Original name..I know, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The first event in our lineup was the Auburn vs. Mississippi State game. This past memorial day Shelby and I worked at Magic Moments camp. We met the love of our lives, and prom date for that weekend:the wonderful, fantastic, and poofy hair that is Brett Perry. B-rett, as we so lovingly call him, currently attends Mississippi State. At camp I told Brett he could stay with us for the game, and bring all of his friends. Well... He took us up on that offer. He brought five friends and himself. At first I was like ehhh, but by Sunday I didn't want them to leave. We had a blasty blast. Brett and his friends are full of one liners and quick whit. As a result of the visit, a hat was left. The hat has now become our best friend. She currently goes on all adventures with us. We like to think of it as sisterhood of the traveling hat.
The second adventure Shelby, the hat, and I had on our Septemberfest lineup was the Jason Aldean concert. I originally went to see Jason in July. Well it basically hurricaned. So, as a result of rescheduling, Amelia and Shelby got to go to the concert with me the second time around. Jason Aldean was AWESOME. If you like him, love him, dont know him, but like country music...get on ticketmaster and find yourself some tickets. He was so excellent. We loved it. (the hat especially) I would go again. Totally worth it.
The third adventure, and last on the lineup has yet to come. We are venturing over to Athens, Ga this weekend. One of our best friends turns 21 this weekend, and it is vital that we celebrate her birth. The hat is also coming along. The University of Georgia may never be the same.

I'm leaving you with a little love: http://vimeo.com/15796763
Its probably the cutest thing Ive ever seen.

I LOVE the Fall... I'm Kindddaaaa Obsessed.

My obsession might have something to do with the fact that, here in the deeeep South, Autumn never lasts very long... We probably get about one collective month of pretty colors and crisp air (notice I said *crisp* not frosty, although I don't mind that either, but you know some people get their panties in a wad over cold weather) before all the leaves start dying and falling off the trees and the "winter" comes. Not to mention, even in our "cold" seasons, there are still days where it reaches up to 80 degrees for some inappropriate reason. For me (a person who is perpetually intolerant of heat for some unknown anatomical reason), anything above 70 degrees is too hot, especially when the sun is out... That darn sun, always making everything hot... If vampires were real, I would probably be one. Not in a weird, blood-thirsty way... just in a weird "I hate the sun - my skin reflects the sun - I like to be cold and hate being hot - being hot makes me angry like the Hulk" kind of way. Also, Clayton episodically calls me a vampire and insists that I look like I would be "cold to the touch."
Anywayyyyy, needless to say, I love the Fall, because I like actually being able to wear nice clothes without wanting to rip them off and jump in a pool. Also, I like all the pretty colors: on the trees, in decorations, in fashion, in the holidays' festivities... etc. So in honor of this glorious, short-living season, I put together some collages (of course I did) of a lot of pictures (because it's practically impossible for me to pick favorites) that make me think of the whimsy and wonderfulness of Fallllll:


CLOTHESSSSS :D
... Like outdoor movies with lots and lots of blankets, and the smell of a burning fireplace, and playing outside with my hypothetical dog, and kissing llamas, and Taylor Swift, and PUMP-I-KINS, and indoor blanket forts! Woo! (okay, so those are just my personal preferences... but aren't they magicalllll)
