Happy Friday! This has been a week. Anyone else want the weekend by Tuesday morning. I am happy that its Friday not only because of the obvious BUT because is syllabus day (!!) for my next two classes. I loved these past two weeks off from classes; I feel like I have been rejuvenated. I slowed down and took time for myself. I realized that I need 8 hours of sleep-its a non negotiable for me and I am OKAY with it. #selfcare. I also realized that I love quiet time- there is something very calming about being quiet. Okay, you ready???
For The Feels this week, I have gathered up all my favorites:
1. Wearing Glasses on Your Wedding Day/// Kristen is a hometown friend of mine and fellow blogger and I LOVED this post so much. As a lifelong glasses wearer, I always worried about wearing glasses on big life moments- they are a part of me, why shouldn’t they be part of my big life moments. Kristen at The Great Refresh, showed that you can wear glasses on your wedding day and look STUNNING. Kristen, you have inspired me to wear my glasses even more.
2. The Bachelorette/// This has to my guiltiest pleasure. This season is turning out to be such a trainwreck. To be completely honest, I never watched any other season of the Bachelorette or the Bachelor. I have read about the deets from past seasons and now this crazy season is the best thing ever. I have no idea how she is keeping all the men straight because I can’t even remember half of their names! HA! Are you watching?
3. Holland Ridge Farms/// My family and I went here in the Spring of 2019 for their tulip festival and it was amazing. This year they couldn’t have their tulip festival due to COVID but they came back strong this Fall with the sunflowers; this weekend is the last weekend and from their Instagram account, it looks absolutely beautiful and magical.
4. Fall Foilage/// One of my favorite parts of the fall is seeing all the different colors. One part of my drive to work each day is a portion of road that has trees on both sides of the road. This week they slowly started to change and it has been such a treat each day to see all the new colors appear. I always think about how perfectly placed each color is and I get even more excited when I find a leave on the ground that has more than one color on it.
Whew! I think that is it for this week. I am looking forward to a calm and quiet weekend. I am going to jump into my schoolwork and hopefully get some blogging done too. What are you up to this weekend?

Funny enough my son had Wednesday off and I honestly thought it was Sunday when I went to log onto my computer that night. I couldn't believe it was only Wednesday and that we had two more days left in our week. Even with that break I was ready for a longer one!
I'm so glad to hear that my post resonated with you! 🙂 Also I want to check out Holland Ridge Farms now!
