Life, Lately

Since coming home from Wyoming, life has been moving at warp speed with little to no breathing room. I feel like it's been a whirlwind of working, managing a household, taking care of a babe, and (not enough) sleep. On a happy note, today is my Thursday since I have a long weekend coming up, and I just. cannot. wait! I have so many recipes and DIYs I want to share with you, and I'm itching to start some holiday decorating and make some paleo peppermint hot chocolate. Yes, you read that right, but let me just repeat... paleo peppermint hot chocolate. 

Here's a little peek into our trip to Wyoming and the last week of craziness.

Life Lens // Little Moments

A few snippets of our life lately and sweet little moments, some via iPhone and the VSCO app, some via our DSLR.

{So. Much. Sweetness.}

{In love with our Stokke Scoot! Perfect for afternoon walks around the neighborhood on pretty days. And outings for lunch in the city. LOVE this place. We also made some bone broth with fresh oregano from the garden. So so good.}

{Date night in Athens with my one and only. We saw this band and this one. So so good. Also, the Georgia Theater rooftop is my new favorite place.}

Lately

This past Friday afternoon while I was busy creating & scheduling blog posts reading scholarly articles, an 18-wheeler randomly drove down our tiny city street. In the process of attempting a turn far too sharp for a truck of this size, the top of the truck collided with the low-hanging phone cable.... and proceeded to snap the cable. Let's note here that I've never seen a truck that size on these streets. One, there is no reason for them to be here -- that's the purpose of the main highway. Two, the power lines aren't high enough to accommodate a large 18-wheeler caboose.

The end result of this unfortunate event? No internet chez HiS. All. Weekend. Long*.

Until today.

So here's a brief little snapshot of my past few days via the Instagram lens.
Regular programming to resume tomorrow.

A countryside drive, afternoon yoga

Green smoothies, grapefruit sparklers, coffee and magazines, girl's night with this lady

Beautiful weather, canoe repairs

*This also meant that the Mad Men Marathon I had planned for Saturday night has been indefinitely postponed. The next couple weekends are already booked.

Lately....

Six weeks, people. Six weeks until I'm finished with school, forever.

I'm not sure it's hit me yet, since I still feel like my days are overly long yet are somehow flying by. I've been trying to soak up every minute that I can before all of the {exciting} changes start -- coffee and chats with sweet friends, nightly yoga, breakfast for dinner, sillines while packing, trail runs with our precious pup, and weekday dinner dates.

Whilrwind

The past four weeks have moved by so quickly that at times I am not sure that they even occurred. And although this week and weekend prove to be just as hectic, I have made a pact with myself to slow down a bit and enjoy my favorite time of year. I plan to decorate our porch with sparkly spider lights for the trick-or-treaters, bake something tasty {perhaps a gluten-free, dairy-free pumpkin pie!}, and spend some quality time with my family.

The weather cooled off, making it ideal time for a soy chai latte; husband and I ran our favorite trail race of the year; I spent some time in Pittsburgh for a pharmacy conference; the rainy weather dissipated to reveal the most perfect rainbow; husband and I both had birthdays {the Hunters were his gift to me}; I found inspiration on a brief trip to Anthropologie; we went to a lovely wedding in the mountains and had a small adventure; we picked up a pumpkin from the local patch; I rearranged our living room.

Oh, and we decided to move. (More about that later.)


Happy October.
