cupcakes and cashmere

well by popular demand, ok, by melanie's demand i am updating my blog. sorry i've been out of the circuit for a while but when people dont comment i feel like no one reads/appreciates my posts so i stop. so thank melanie for this one.
let me start out by saying,
yes, all of the above. i moved into my apartment and after a trip to ikea with the manfriend i have a freaking ADORABLE room. plus a queen bed which i'm pretty much obsessed with. and pretty great roommates. also, i started teaching this week. i have 35 beautiful children that i'm also obsessed with and i absolutely LOVE MY JOB!! seriously. i honestly think i found my calling in life and i couldn't be happier about it. well, my calling in life for now at least. everyday i leave completely exhausted but i just adore every minute of it. and i owe it completely 100% to my decision to serve a mission. everything that is going well in my life right now i owe to my decision to serve a mission. best decision i ever made. i was talking to my dad tonight and he said "i only made two important decisions in my life and they shaped everything else: when i chose to join the church, and when i chose to marry your mom" (and then he got teary-eyed. it was adorable).
so, i went to the gap sale yesterday and spent way too much money. i've said it before and i'll say it again. i have a problem. but i'm just so excited for fall. i LOVE FALL!! i love the leaves, the scarves, the boots, the hats, the cardigans, the jackets, the smells, the mountains, the state fair, the pumpkins, the corn mazes, the sunsets. cupcakes and cashmere.
