Farewell to summer

Although Florida heat will be reaching triple digits, I can tell that slowly the season is changing. 

Nights are cool and breezy, and my attitude about actually getting up and getting things done is so great now that I know fall is coming. 

August is such a strange month in Florida.

But I'm trying to really document this year since it has been a mess of emotions and time has really flown by.

My little sister just moved into her dorm room so I am practically an only child here and I'm trying to make it easier for my parents to transition by staying home and keeping them company.

My boyfriend and I wanted to catch some of this month's changes by watching a meteor shower down in Green Cove. He saw three on the way there, but it was too cloudy to catch a glimpse of anything once we got to our destination. 

But damn was our destination wonderful. Its an old airport, I think, and for some reason in the middle of the lot there is an old ship just sitting and rusting away.

These next pictures were all taken around midnight.

I'm ending my post here by saying that I've moved into my sisters old larger room and I am loving it. I have a desk and much more floor space. All I need to do to finish moving in is paint the room white and find where to hang all of my photos.

Dexter and Whiskey didn't mind sitting and watching me work, either.

2014

Its been awhile, since ringing in the new year I've been running around like crazy.

I quit my job, but thats a whole other story that I dont even want to get into again.

I'm taking this time off of work to relax and experience and give myself time to fall in love with stupid little things again. 

One week I went to Savannah with a couple of friends and it was such a beautiful day

 We spent time in forsyth park and met a man who has been to 20 different states since January with his pet cat that kind of just chills out on his shoulders. And we went into some of our favorite shops and got way too cold so made the short trip home.

2014 is bringing some great adventures and ideas and revelations. What I'm most excited about now is New York on the 17th for a week and whatever else this year wants to throw at me.

Sometimes, life's simplest pleasure is coming home after work and just being alone. 

A few years ago, this blissful feeling was so foreign. I never gave myself the time or space to learn what it was that I liked.  

These are the days I most look forward to now. Getting homework finished and listening to music as loud as can be.

Aside from all of this, I scored on some cute future home things.

The in between days

My favorite season is right around the corner!

This means beautiful reds, oranges and yellows are going to be all over. Pumpkin flavored and scented everything, and I get to bring out my scarves and coats again!

Until all of my favorites come back, I'll just enjoying the cool breezes that August brings in.

Along with fall, I love vintage kitchen anything! I found these cute things for only $6! 

If only I had a kitchen of my own to enjoy them in.

My boy Dexter loves them, too.

 So happy almost Fall, Y'all!

These are a few photos that I've taken and developed in the last few months. I'm not very proud of the black and white ones that I took for class, but they're still good memories and keepsakes. Some of my photos are going to be put into a show at school so I'm happy.

Have a good night, Guys!

November 13th

This is another random, spontaneous day trip that we've taken in the last two months. I have a film photography class and I needed to get some pictures taken, so we drove up the Kingsley Plantation and spent maybe five hours there exploring the entire place. Even the great little hiding places on the way.

Really awesome side note though: None of the pictures on my canon rebel 2000 came out, Ha!

And this was the first day we went our with my new camera, and I'm engaged, too!
