It's been good

Summer break is officially over and school is now back in session. The last few weeks have been some of the best. I spent a couple weeks in Indiana with my family, went to the State Fair, learned to sew, visited friends, baked, and ate the most delicious food.
 

I cannot believe summer is over! It has been one of the best ones yet. I won’t lie – I’m pretty darn excited about this school year though. It’s already off to a wonderful and fresh start. I’m looking forward to all that’s in store!

These past couple of weeks have flown by. It's too bad, because they were so wonderful. I would have liked for them to have lasted so much longer! My dad was asked to play in a three-day-long golf tournament (he came in second place!) in Asheville, so I soaked up as much time as I possibly could with him and my little brother. A few days later I went to Georgia to spend a little bit of time with G. It had been over a month since we last saw each other! It goes without saying that it was definitely great to see him. I was also able to finally meet his band-mates and Vanessa. It was a little funny feeling at first, because we all knew of each other, but had not truly met before. But, everyone was very sweet and it was a good time! After the guys' show I drove a little further south to spend the weekend with my grandparents. They live out in the country and have the most beautiful dogs who kept me company during the morning-time while my grandparents were out and about. It was quite a wonderful few days!

See- these past two weeks have been busy(-ish)! This is the last week of summer classes and then I will be spending the rest of my summer break in Indiana with my family! More on that later.

Birthday Trip to Charlotte

This past weekend I went to Charlotte in celebration for my 21^st birthday. It was a great trip and a wonderful time, eating delicious food, exploring, and of course, getting lost. I had never thought of Charlotte as much of a city to go to for a weekend to hang out and explore, but it certainly proved me wrong.

A chair that I sort of fell in love with

Ryan had secretly planned a lovely dinner at Barrington's Restaurant in South Park. It was incredible!

Friday morning we went in search for breakfast. We stumbled upon the adorable Suarez Bakery and picked up some sweet  treats then stopped by Starbucks for some caffeine.

 

Afterward we went to Rebel Base Comics where Ryan did some comic book and figurine shopping.

At last, we made it to Ikea before our trip came to an end. My heart was certainly happy for the many hours we spent here! Even Ryan admitted to falling a wee bit in love with the store :) (success!)

I'm off to bed, good-night, all!
