  1. Gah! I loved this! *millions of hearts*
    You watch Full House too?! *does a happy dance around the room* I've been recently watching it for the first time and I absolutely love it!! Uncle Jesse is just the cutest with his nieces, am I right? xD
    You're so pretty! I love that picture of you with your hair half up in the braid. So pretty!
    I'll bet that trail ride with Rosie was amazing. I've never been on a trail ride but I dream of doing it someday. When I find a horse to do it on xP

      Yes!!! We watched all the seasons a couple years ago, and within the last year, we’ve been watching are favorites over again! They are so fun!
      Aw, that’s so sweet of you to say! So are you! <3 Inside and out!
      It was super fun! She did really good! (She is getting more laid back and less crazy than she use to be when we first got her...)
      Hope your week is going well! xx

  7. Sounds like you had a fun, busy summer! Fall is definitely my favorite season...I mean, sweaters. And hot drinks. And pumpkins. Who could not love it?? Oh, and I'm currently in the process of learning how to French braid. I've always wanted to, and I'm not even close to good yet, but after a while your hands do sort of pick up a rhythm. Also - you are SO good at calligraphy, like, WOW. :O

      Fall is such a festive season and I’m looking forward to the sweaters and hot chocolate! Our trees are changing colors overnight and it’s so pretty!

      Aw, THANK YOU!! <3
