long overdue post

Sorry I haven't been updating as regularly!

You know, life just happens :]

Here's a quickie overview of the past days.

1. MY FIRST HER CAMPUS ARTICLE IS UP!
You should check it out :] It's "Small Ways to Save Money as an Appalachian Student" It's an article about the creative, yet smaller ways to save money! Saving money doesn't have to include savings account and ramen noodles. There are other ways, I promise. Read on to find out.

2. I also have my last article written for Appalachian's homepage up as well! It's about the Sustainable Development's trip to Madagascar this summer. My friend Logan attended so you should check out the story and read about this awesome trip they made!

3. Fall is beautiful and the leaves have definitely been changing colors. These photos were taken on campus of Appalachian State.

 

4. My trip to Atlanta was absolutely wonderful. It was one of my best friend's birthday's and it was wonderful being able to spend the weekend with her. I've met the best people in Atlanta. Seriously. I can't help but smile from everything that happened this weekend! I didn't take much photos because I was too busy embracing every moment, but here is me and the birthday girl :]

5. Giveaways!

My friend Emily is having a Sylvia Benson giveaway, so check it out!
I won my FIRST blog giveaway yesterday! It's the Pink Lemonade giveaway from much love, illy. I'm excited to get my pair of rosebud earrings! Yay for giveaways!

Also, Ashley is having an AWESOME giveaway! A total of NINE things! Check it out!

6. I'll leave you with a few snapshots!

1. My and my favorite fedora. Got called "fedorable." Haha how clever my friends :]

2. Atlanta - Wish I took more pictures of this great city.

3. $2.99 gas! I haven't seen this is in forever! Thank you South Carolina.

4. When I saw LION KING 3D! All this for $3.50! That's how move concession prices SHOULD be.

I'll be posting again sooner than later.

Thank you to all my wonderful blogger friends!

One week ago, I turned twenty-one.
It was weekend full of laughs, good company, old friends, new friends and just a whole lotta love.
I feel extremely blessed to be surrounded by the friends and family I have in my life. Although a few of my favorite faces were not there to celebrate with me, it has been one of the best birthdays so far. A few friends and I also took a trip down to Atlanta because who doesn't love a road trip? :]

 Atlanta is a city that has an interesting reputation, but I vouch that it is one of my new favorite cities! It's just bursting with culture, art, new adventures and some of the best people. My two and a half days in Atlanta included:

Ikea, new friends, yummy burgers, laughing spells, huge burritos, Louis CK, good company and a craving for more Atlanta. Hopefully I'll be able to explore more of Atlanta soon enough!

This weekend I am in Wilmington, N.C. enjoying some coastal weather and wedding planning for one of my best friends, Hannah. This is the third city we've been to this week. On Tuesday we spent one night in Chapel Hill to celebrate one of my best friend's 21st birthday.

So far in Wilmington, there's been:
+ shoe hunting
+ port city java
+ half-off purchase of a new dress
+ engagement photos on the beach
+ blackberry drowning in the Atlantic Ocean
+ pizza | wings | wine
+ reading of Hannah's seven-years-old "di-ray" (diary)

I will try not to take so long to upload pictures next time.
Can you tell I've lately been obsessed with hats?

Anyway, hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!
