Autumn in one post

Can you believe it's November already? The election is over, Thanksgiving is in a couple of weeks, and time marches on. Time has definitely gotten away from me this season, which happens to be my favorite. Instead of sitting at home blogging about life, I have been out experiencing it but I haven't forgotten about you dear reader! Fret not, I am here to tell you all about how I've been spending my fall. 

October began with a bang in the form of a baby. Julie, one of my best friends, gave birth to her first child, Dane. I got to meet him on his real birth day and he was a snuggly little bug who didn't open an eye the entire time I was holding him.

My friend Brittany had a Sunday funday fall party at her new pad and went all out with decorations. I swear we are kindred spirits when it comes to fashion, decor, and entertaining. I get so much inspiration from her.

Specifically, things like this. So clever!

I got to see my nephew Oliver play a mean game of soccer - or so one might think by looking at this picture, which happened to be the one time during the entire game that he was paying attention to the ball.

I decorated my apartment for Halloween like a fiend. This photo is just a taste. I started at the end of September and I don't think I stopped until the weekend before Halloween!

I got to go to Sonny Acres Farm with these two freaking awesome people who had a fantastic time on the "strawberry."

And I took obligatory pictures of piles of pumpkins.

I had a Halloween party with a fridge stocked full of beer. Ain't no party like a Jacobs party!

And I dressed up as a 70's soul diva a la Foxxy Cleopatra from Austin Powers: Goldmember. That jumpsuit just happened to be in my closet - it was my grandma's!

Then, last weekend, three of my good friends came over for an impromptu brunch. Jessie is not pictured, but that's my pal Becky and her fiance Eric. They're getting married in April and I am officiating their wedding - that is if I don't cry or laugh through the whole ceremony. I can't wait to give them the awesome gift of a personal and meaningful ceremony and I'm seriously just honored to get to be up there with them guiding them into their lives together. More posts on restaurants I've recently visited coming up!
