my weekend was everything i hoped it would be. it started off with dinner on the balcony as the sun set and the moon rose. i soaked ernest hemingway’s words into my soul, and just let the weekend unfold as it wanted. little did i know, that it would actually be exactly like hemingway wrote. (click here to see his quote & the moon over our balcony dinner!)
take a peek at my instagram and nikon photos from the weekend:
friday afternoon downtown. doing our regular weekend beginning beer date.
the sunset from our balcony during dinner. so peaceful.
saturday morning’s sky. love it. 
spent the morning in bed… all of us doing our thing. so lazy & perfect.
bella, jessica, lina & i planned a girl’s adventure afternoon! yay!
up first: a ride on the blue ridge parkway. it was so amazingly beautiful.
we stopped for a picnic at an overlook. it was hooooot. but beautiful and fun!
later on in the evening, after a great mexican dinner at our fave mexican restaurant, we made it super cozy at home. and, yes, i brought out the fall-themed candles. it’s time!
we also bought a string of bulbs to hang over our bedroom windows. love them so much.
sunday morning: time for coffee and the sunday morning news shows. 
for some mid-afternoon coffee, i headed down to our apartment complex’s clubhouse (2 floors below us) for some of the free starbucks coffee that have available for residents. yummy luxury.
well, it’s time for a new week to begin. what lucky, lucky girl i am. you know, i am fully convinced that it is the simple things and being present in the moment that is what life’s all about. sharing life with others, enjoying all that is around. being aware of the beauty that is everywhere. and embracing the moment as it is. my friends, i certainly hope that you had a lovely weekend too!
