Happy first Friday of October! I know I am not the only one who can’t believe how fast time is flying. Before we know it, it will be Christmas 😉
I’ve been working from home this week which has been a blessing because it’s allowed me to really take advantage of this fall weather. I’ve been changing up locations a few times a day just so that I grab a coffee, or walk outside and enjoy the weather, and it means more time in the evenings to hang with my cute husband since I don’t have to commute.
I hope the change of seasons has been treating you all just as well and that you have a wonderful weekend!

ONE: Matt had friends in town for the Notre Dame football game. While for the most part I let them do their thing and did my own (aka stayed home and read my book haha) it was fun going to the game with them and seeing them experience the traditions for the first time.
TWO: The leaves have been starting to change on campus and I must say, it’s gorgeous! It’s been the perfect combination: weather still in the 70’s (well by the end of the week it was in the 60’s) but leaves all over the ground. Notre Dame, you might just make a fall-lover out of this summer girl!
THREE: Started another new book. I have been on a kick lately and I love it. The newest one in the queue: The Girl on the Train. I’ve heard so many amazing things about it and though I am only a few pages in, I am totally hooked already!
FOUR: We have been getting the most incredible sunsets lately. I’m talking all the blues, pinks, yellows, oranges, and purples you can imagine! On all of our evening bike rides and walks around the lake lately I have had to make Matt stop so I can take pictures! I have always loved sunsets, they’re like God’s paintings and the best reminder of the beauty of His creation right before bed.
FIVE: I worked out three times this week!!! It seems like a miracle because this never happens and probably won’t ever again which is why I had to put this in writing haha. But in reality it was 100% planned – see growing up my dad used to always tell us to “offer it up” whenever we were having a bad day or asked to do something we didn’t want to do and I never really got what he was talking about. Since being married though, it has taken on new meaning. Whenever Matt has something big like an exam or interview, I will try to give up something or do some little offering, and this week was a big interview week – hence the working out (which I hate even though I know it’s good for me). Does anyone else offer things up? I’m totally curious if my dad tricked me or if other people do this too!
