Happiness is: Halloween costumes!

No one got a photo (not even myself) but Fry and I just went for a walk, me as Clark Kent/Superman and him with a blue collar and red leash. I chuckled to myself the whole way. We got many different looks, 2 laughs and an exaggerated double take and every one wanted to be us!

We were quite a sight to be seen!

I love Umbrellas. I love decorated trees. So naturally this is something out of my favorite dream. There is something so absolutely fantastic about this.

Oh yes.

Happiness is: Eight little puppies!!!
Friends of ours dogs had puppies and they asked Brad to go photograph them. They were so sweet!

Boston accepted my apology.

Dear Boston,

You are such a beautiful city. I am sorry so I am stuck inside shooting interviews all day. I'd much rather be kicking up your leaves and twirling in your crisp cold air.

Plead accept my apology,
Michelle.

He's completely stolen my heart. God I love this little boy.

A million times yes.

Happiness is: New dresses and late afternoons.

New music makes my soul happy.

Sometimes, right in the middle of a hot week, the breeze gives you can amazingly spectacular weekend. The glorious weather this weekend was something to write home about. Brad and I and puppy went for numerous breeze filled walks, where the sun was warm on our backs and dried leaves danced circles around our ankles. I was so joyous for the occasion I wore my hoodie and mittens. This weekend was also one for throwing open the bedroom windows before wrapping yourself tightly in all the blankets in sight and sleeping warm all night with sounds of the wind wisping around right outside your window.

The cool weather has made me a bit homesick. I envy all the back roads of Bucks County with their trees changing color and their early evening geese flying southbound overhead in perfect formation. I miss homemade hot apple cider with every speckle of sprinkled cinnamon. I miss the giant roaring bonfires and and the seasonal harvested fields. I miss the cold star filled nights.

Florida actually all of these things if you look hard enough. This weekend I found roads to walk along with great company, dried leaves to crunch, snuggle buddies, and a comforting cup of coffee. Florida's a lot like home if you have the family to spend it with. I am sure glad my family here is top notch and willing to put up with my autumn excitement!

Oh! Also while I have your attention I want to add that I found a Farmer's Market this weekend. You can bet all your peanut butter that I will be there next Saturday!

Happiness is: Breaking out my favorite mittens for the first time this year!

I need a tutu. Look how happy her knees are! I love, love, love this!

Just simple. Just right.

Happiness is: After a long day in an office chair then getting drenched in the rain coming home and changing into my t-shirt and boxers, my moccasins and old zebra blanket. The puppy is snoring after his dinner and I am about to rest my bones for a quick minute or so too! Ah! Relief, you are so kind.

I want a project. I want to impress myself. I want to find other people who want to help. Be it video, photo, or painting. I want to turn on multicolored stage lights and dance in them.

Let's create an army. A bunch of people who want to go out and make imaginative concepts a concrete movement. Let's get talent from all over the place together to brainstorm and laugh and create excitement. Let's get creative, artistic, and motivated people together - wether we know them or not.

Dear Moccasin slippers,

You have no idea how happy you make me. I love slipping in your comfort after a long day. You make the night just perfect.

Love,
Michelle.

Brad and I went to the Thrift Store today and made out like bandits! A regular Bonnie and Clyde. Brad stocked up on 1 and 2 dollar books and found a handful of records for $1.00! It was such an awesome day. I also got a snoopy mug for a $1.00 at Target and a pumpkin spice latte. I also got some old t-shirts at the thrift store and 2 for $1.40 at Old Navy! Phew.

So now we have the records, the espresso maker, and our pie makers - next on the list -a record player. I am on a mission.

Lip gloss and a compliment and I feel the need to take a picture of myself!

HAHAHA - Sister Hazel rocked Brad's sandal off yesterday! Brad's sandal fell apart in stages yesterday as we were walking through the park. Luckily gaff tape or GT Sticky helped make all his dreams come true and avoided buying a new pair of expensive Disney sandals. Haha! Oh I laughed...

Happiness is: Seeing Sister Hazel three days in a row for nine shows!

Brad and I went to EPCOT Friday, Yesterday (with Slurpees in hand) and again today to see Sister Hazel at EPCOT's Food and Wine Festival! Woo Hoo!

Happiness is: Convertibles driving towards sunsets.

8 weeks to 5 months - where has the time gone? And when did Fry go from a cubby little puppy to a lanky puppy? If you said overnight, you are correct.

Yes, I could use a travel mug but I have for so long mastered the art of steering and shifting while drinking my morning coffee.

Fry's Guide to Comfort: Find a small chair and try to keep your butt from sliding off.

I would never wear a veil. I would wear a flower. I think I found the absolute perfect medium.

Well, I know that you're in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin' in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.

Wishful Thinking: Look at her skirt twirling. Look at the music. Look at his bow tie. Look at how they are looking at each other.

Oof! There is not a lot of love about getting up at 4 am, but there are a few rays of sunshine:

- Being the first car in line at the all the stop lights.
- Not waiting long for said stop lights.
- You drink your coffee and it feels like it's working instantly.
- It's dark enough to be midnight, but birds know it's not.
- When you start work this early you get finished with work early!
- and the best one! You are entitled to a nap when you get home!

Steps to Achieving Instant Happiness: When your parents come to visit make waffle sundaes with whipped cream piled to the ceilings!

Happiness is: Worn or faded mirrors.

Dear Fry,

You have no idea how incredibly happy you have made our little house in Kissimmee. You've put so much laughter inside these walls. You are the absolutely sunshine of my life. I had no idea I would find in you such a tremendous amount of love.

I know we are having some training and obedience snags at the moment, but golly gee you have done so well for such a young little guy.

Love,

Michelle.

This is the most perfect picture in the world. There are no words to even describe how happy and warm looking at it makes me.

Sometimes there are words to express how happy and unique we can be.

The amazing dinner Brad made last night for Bryan, Laura, and us. It was fantastic. We ate and watched America's Funniest Home Videos and then ate some carrot cake. Mmm cream cheese icing! The night was full of conversation and laughing at Fry. They even brought him a new toy to add to his quickly growing collection.

"A barbecue sandwich and a large sweet tea
Water splashing on a cypress knee
Moss that hangs from those old live oaks --
Fresh cut grass on a summer's day
And every afternoon it rains
The weather never gets me down
It's another thing I love about my South"

Sometimes I forget how much I love watching the spanish moss disappear over the top of my car.

Happiness is: Enjoying fresh fruit of the porch in the afternoon sun and breeze!

THIS DAY JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!

After meeting Brad for lunch and telling him the fixed window story I came back to the office, and since I work in a windowless room, and it seemed wasteful to not enjoy the day - I went out on the porch and enjoyed a plate full of amazing fruit! Strawberries, kiwi, and pineapple!

Now I am rejuvenated and ready to get some work down full speed ahead!

This morning is was amazing outside! The sun was bright and the air was cool. As soon as I stepped foot outside on my way to work, coffee in hand, I ran back inside excitedly to grab my cotton sweat shirt. I backed out of my driveway, cranked some "Night Moves" and put down all my windows. Problem is, my drivers side window has been broken (it won't roll down (not really sure what exactly happened.)) But as I was singing and feeling damn good - I looked to my left to see my left arm hanging out of the window. After a double take and laughing out loud I realized THE WINDOW WORKS! Good start to a good day.

I am going to go work and get some work done and then home for a night of the roommate cooking a fully vegetarian meal with two of our friends Bryan and his Fiance Laura!

Hello Autumn! You make everything so happy and nice!

I pretty much wear my sass on my sleeve.

Fry's Guide to Comfort: Fall alseep anywhere in any position.

Happiness is: Curls that last during Florida's violent humidity!

My coffee addiction has reached a new level.
