dear subconscious, what is with all of these crazy weird dreams lately? last night my dream involved a roller coaster in the middle of downtown and me buying a bracelet that was really a wristband and ended up being $20, even though it was marked as $3, and then me getting mad and yelling at the poor girl working there. i don’t know. not as weird as buying a baby off of craigslist.
dear zack, i love that after telling you my crazy dream immediately upon waking, you just looked me straight in the eyes, told me you love me and kissed me. you’re the bestest.
dear morning runs, this is a new thing we’re doing. like, i am not a runner. but i want to be! so this is our new routine and so far so good. i’m no usain bolt, but hey, baby steps. gotta say, it feels pretty damn good rolling out of bed and running in the perfect 8am weather. feels like fall. and then 3pm rolls around and it’s 97 degrees. yeah. not fall yet.
dear house, i got in one of my crazy katie cleaning moods yesterday and scrubbed you top to bottom. i also may or may not have busted out all of our fall decor. our mantle is now adorned with glittery pumpkins and the like. i also got out our cinnamon roll candle, only because we don’t have a pumpkin spice candle.
dear bath & body works, we will be visiting you soon so i can get a pumpkin spice candle. or three.
dear fall bucket list, yes, i wrote you out, and on a hot pink post-it note even. but i only have three things so far. hm. that’s kind of pathetic, no? i still have about one week until fall officially begins. i got time.
what are your favorite fall activites?

Good luck with the morning runs. That’s always been most successful for me- mornings.
thanks! yeah, you know, before our brains can know exactly what it is we’re doing ;)

I am so excited to see what kind of fall activities they have for us here in Southern AZ. I am hoping for hayrides and pumpkin patches. :)
hayrides! pumpkin patches! yes yes yes, it doesn’t get much more fall than that! :)

You think I would give up telling my husband my crazy dreams, the ways he responds to me…but no. I HAVE to tell them to someone! Besides, I know deep down he likes listening to them. haha!
Ohhhh Fall…and Pumpkin Spice candles. ah…
Favorite Fall Activity: My sisters, cousins and I have a sleepover every year! We used to do it with our moms but now we are all grown up and mostly all married, but it’s a tradition we have carried on every year. :)
haha and the look we get from them is just too good to stop, you know? ;)
i love that tradition! so cool that you’re carrying it on :)

I’d like to start morning runs too…but just can’t seem to get out of bed early enough to go before work. Maybe I should start on the weekends so I can sleep in a little longer. Are you following some type of plan to start running? If so, do share :)
i don’t allow myself time to think- i just literally roll out of bed, into my workout clothes (sometimes i sleep in them- that helps a lot too!!) annnnd i SHOULD be following a plan, but so far it’s just kind of been run-as-long-as-you-can-before-you-start-hyperventilating. okay, not really, but it feels like that. ha! i am currently researching plans, and when i find a good one, i will definitely be following and sharing!

ha, i had a crazy cleaning mood this week, too! maybe it’s the change of season? not sure!
good luck on your morning runs! i used to run in high school and college but for some reason, i stopped!

it’s probably the change of season! fall cleaning? it could be a thing…
xo
Yay for morning runs! :) That’s awesome! I was on a running kick for awhile and then, well… that kick went away! I’m so ready for Fall! Here in OH it’s already cooling down! Today it was only 70! My house has been decorated for awhile! I couldn’t help myself! :) I get in crazy cleaning moods too haha! Have a great weekend love!
xo
haha i’m hoping this kick of mine lasts! i’m really liking it so far! and ugh so jealous- it’s still super hot here in cali!

Apple hilllll babygirl, appppple hill!!! :D
apple hill is one of the 3 things on my list!!!!! girlllll, you know i could never leave that off!! i wrote “apple hill- at least once” :)
xo
gahhhh cant wait till all the fun stuff opens up at apple hill! i go like every wknd!
omg ME TOO, girl!!! i’m sooo excited! :) but it needs to be cooler before it’ll really feel like apple hill season, you know?
Hm, I need to get over to Bath & Body Works to smell that candle. I haven’t found one I like yet!
do it and let me know what you think!! i don’t actually think that’s the name, but it’s the pumpkin one!
I am OBSESSED with bath and body works candles! Tomorrow they are even having a special event to get a free candle (that they don’t sell!) with purchase. Go!
Also, good luck with the running! I want to be a runner also but it can be so hard so good for you!
omg thank you for the heads up!! i just might have to go get that! and you’re right about it being hard: i am soooo sore today! like, my calves! yikes! haha but i know if i just keep going, it will get easier :)
xo
i’m totally gonna have to copy you with a fall to-do list! great idea
yes! now i just need to figure out more things to put on it! haha

Oh my gosh, my dreams have been CRAZYYY lately, too! Last night I dreamed the world was ending and everyone was boarding up their houses and going out in the field to play soccer. Weird, right??? Like, what the heck? I definitely need to write my fall bucket list, too!
hahaha because that is toootally normal to have the world ending and start playing soccer! gotta love our strange subconscious thoughts!
xo
I love Bath & Body works candles :)
ps: Zack is definitely the “bestest” and I’m so happy you guys have each other :)
awww you are so sweet!!!
xo
you and zack are great! yay for running!! it does make a person feel pretty darn good :) good for you!! Love your fall decor! Fall by far is my favorite season, not just because i’m a fall baby…
thank you!! definitely excited to get better at the whole running thing! it’s a work in progress ;)
xo
I’m glad you’re getting into running! I tried that the other day… it ended up being a long walk haha. And what is up with all of your dreams?!
haha yeah.. the running thing is definitely a slooooow process! but hey, at least we’re getting out there and trying, right?! And, girl, i wish i knew! they’re getting kind of out of control.

i am def. not a runner, i would make it a block before dying so I am inspired by your morning run routine! A fall activity I would LOVE to do is take a drive and go apple picking at an orchard. A bit more difficult in so Cal, but not impossible. Also, going to a pumpkin patch, baking more pumpkin treats this season and of course, evening walks bundles up with a Pumpkin Spice Latte! SOOO excited for fall!

aww yay! glad to inspire you! apple picking sounds like such a fun thing to do! definitely planning on that, whenever the weather decides to cool down! yummmm pumpkin treats are a good idea- i plan on making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies- hopefully they turn out as good as they sound!
xo
Morning runs… that’s something I’d love to do as well, oh yes.
