A Fall Five on Friday

Anyone else curious as to where their summer went?

We know exactly what happened to ours: we bought a house, moved in, and got married... & while it was a really great time in our life, we basically missed summer. So here's hoping that we don't "miss" fall this year, too.

 

We have no football games to attend this weekend {what?!} so I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be a weekend full of yard & house work. Exciting, right? But we're oh so close to finishing up the painting process in our house and I cannot wait to finally be done with it.

I officially completed step one in changing my name: my new Social Security card came in the mail this week! The new card was celebrated with a beer from one of my favorite Charlotte breweries in one of our wedding beer glasses.

I can put out pumpkins around the house now, right?

 

Good. Cause these guys have been hanging out on our mantle for a few weeks.

I'm going to go ahead and jump on this bandwagon:

Is it a bandwagon if the show just started? Either way, if you loved Parenthood {or Jess from Gilmore Girls}, you need to be watching this show. The premiere earlier this week was so good and completely throws you for a loop in the last like two minutes. I cannot wait to watch the next episode!

Don't mind me - I'm just over here basking in the glory of starting off the season 4-0, being ranked #5 in the country, and finally {for the first time since 2003} beating Georgia Tech in Atlanta.

& next Saturday? Well, #3 Louisville is coming to town. It's going to be a night game. Gameday is making another appearance in Clemson. It's going to be one heck of a day and I'm glad that we have the long week to prepare for Louisville! Because, if you haven't been paying attention, they're kind of a scary football team.

Tonight is one of my favorite events of the fall and favorite nights of the year at the zoo - Zoofari! We went in 2013 & 2014 and are pretty excited to get back this year.

{PS - how was this picture 3 years ago & why do we look like such babies?!}
 

There's a really good chance that I'll find myself on the carousel again at some point during the night, although this time I won't be in my wedding dress.

Happy Friday! Hope that everyone has a great weekend! :)
