I guess looking forward to the cool, fall air was an epic fail.

Looking out the window you’d think it was a crisp fall day.

Dark with a chance of rain. The perfect weather for a coat, boots and a scarf.

Well…… that window is a liar.
It’s hot. It’s humid. I mean, you feel like you are wearing a freakin sweater when you walk outside. A sticky, moist sweater.

I'm so over it!

However, I try to keep my blog happy… uplifting… enjoyable… all the things that Cloud Nine should be so I’m going to try and twist this bad mood.

Despite this horrid weather Fall TV is just around the corner….
Which also means REVENGE is so close!
Which also makes me do a happy dance!

Pumpkin Flips. Little Miss. Debbie Cake, you complete me.

On Thursday my new locks are going to be a few shades darker to welcome the Fall weather once it decides to arrive. Pretty darn excited about that as well.

I survived the massive “holy cow I need to clean out my closet” fiasco from over the weekend and I gladly have some space to fill. Hello, fall shopping trips!!!

Pretty, new dark nail polishes!!! Makes me oh, so thankful!!

And sometimes you take a simple picture to remind you of the beginning of Fall.

The beginning of a new season. And when you look back at this picture you won’t remember the annoying humid days because all you will remember is a carefree night with the man you love when you were lucky enough to find a cool breeze and a hand to hold.

On to my favorite month of the year!!

Yes, September is my most favorite!

It's full of change and I'm always okay with changes. 

Some changes I'm pretty excited about are....

- this horrible hot weather (hopefully) cooling down

- switching flip flops in for boots

- Sunday's consisting of church, brunch and football

- leaves covering all the sidewalks

- my best friend preparing to become a wife

Exciting changes and I can't believe you are already here but I'm gonna welcome you with hops, skips and a cartwheel because I love you, Septemer!!

What are some exciting changes in the next month for all of you?!?

 Please share!

Cute little towns with sweet people!

I know I've mentioned my adopted Aunties a few times before and last Wednesday I got to celebrate my Auntie Laura’s Birthday! We all enjoyed a low key dinner at Trio’s in downtown Anderson with family and friends. I haven’t seen the downtown area of Anderson in several years so I was quite surprised with all the adorable shops and fun restaurants. Last week went by so dreadfully slow even with the extremely busy days at work… I guess I jinxed myself when I mentioned the 15 minute tasks. Ooops. So a night with friends in a new place while enjoying some AWESOME coconut cake that could most definitely make my mom famous was a perfect midweek pick me up!

Happy Birthday to one of my most favorite people in the world!!

Love you so much Auntie Laura!

Free burgers and fries are kinda awesome.

A few weeks ago a coworker of mine sent out an email explaining how we could win a “Fudd Friday” by entering a contest with B93.7. We all took a few seconds to vote and crossed our fingers that we would win. Last week we got a phone call with the exciting news so on Friday we got to enjoy the Fudd Bus! We stuffed our faces with some yummy burgers and fries from Fuddruckers and then spent some time bowling for prizes!

It was the best way to spend a fun hour on a busy Friday!

I’m so glad I love the people I work with…

it definitely makes every day feel a little less like work.

The rest of the weekend was spent in Atlanta with Peter’s family.

His brother turned 31 and with their first baby on the way we spent a lot of time discussing names,

feeling all kinds of kicks (that kid is getting strong!)

and painting his future room! 

I failed miserably at taking any pictures this weekend except for this one special shot.

Not sure how I feel about it…. But he sure is cute. ;)

because I'm a thief.

..........and because I want to go back to St. Martin right now I decided to share some pictures that boyfriend’s brother took with his fancy camera. (I want one so badly)

It was such a wonderful week.

I take it back, I want to fly again… take my back to St. Martin!!!
