Happy Friday

You know that feeling when you've been working on something important for weeks? Stressing over it and spending hours upon hours preparing for that something? And then it ends? You finish and you don't have to worry about it any more? Well that finished feeling feels a little something like this....

....a nice long sip of your favorite coffee as you soak in the pleasant aroma. This morning, I woke up and was able to drink my coffee for pleasure. Not because I needed it. But because I wanted it. Turned in the last of my multiple major projects that I've had looming over me for the last month. Sure I have more to come, but I have a few days to soak in this feeling of relaxation.

This will be the first weekend since the beginning of September that I don't have to spend any of my weekend working on school work. It feels so good! So this weekend, Andrew and I are going to Helen, GA with some friends of ours. Oktoberfest is going on right now. I've never been during the festivities so it will be an interesting experience. I'm just excited to enjoy a fall day outside.

Other ideas for enjoying this fall:

Pumpkin and apple picking

Carve (or paint) a pumpkin

Bake a pie from scratch (using picked apple)

Preserve leaves as they change colors in a frame. hang up for decoration or give as gifts

Go for a walk with someone you love

Make homemade apple cider

How do you like to enjoy the fall season?

Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend! Happy Friday.
