Fall is here

So it's officially Fall now, and today it felt like it more than ever.  I decided it was an appropriate time to make these pumpkin muffins, which are the easiest thing to make.  All you need is a box of yellow cake mix and a can of pumpkin.  Thanks to Pinterest I will be making these multiple times this season.  This was also my first Sunday baking day since last Winter. Here's to many more to come!

Saying Goodbye

This past weekend I went to the beach with a group of friends to say bon voyage to one of my good friends who is moving to Panama to teach English. On the drive, Stephanie and I were having moments of excitement as we creeped upon a golden hour (one of the many reasons to love fall). I tried to take the best picture possible, but I knew a camera couldn't do justice to all the beauty we were taking in.  The rest of the weekend was followed by amazing weather, which was completely unexpected.  I had packed nothing but sweaters and leggings.

I hate saying goodbye, but I am so excited for Katie! We have known each other since the 7th grade and she is such a great friend.  I can always count on her to be down to party, but she's also the type of friend who I can go to when I have problems and need someone to talk to.  I love her to pieces!  We enjoyed our time going to the tiniest bar in the tiniest beach town, playing shuffle board and then headed home to play catch phrase until 6 in the morning.  

Mumford and Sons

 

 

So excited Mumford and Sons released their new album "Babel" this week, but I am so sad this one isn't on it! I'll still have to get my hands on this album of course.

early signs

Although Portland is still experiencing summer weather, this morning I went outside to a beautiful sunny day, but with a cool breeze and crisp air.  This immediately brought a smile to my face.  With Autumn comes sweaters, boots, scarves, warm drinks, pumpkins, and Sunday baking.  Of course I can bake any season, but Fall is my favorite considering the main ingredient can be pumpkin.  There's also something special about getting cozy on a Sunday and baking while it's too chilly to do anything outside.
