october in review

Whew, what a crazy month it's been! October has been so good. You can click through the pictures to see some of my favorite posts from this month. But now it is November! This will also be a good month because of all my countdowns. The countdown to Thanksgiving when I get to see Matt and his family again, and then it's almost Christmas time! My dad bought my plane ticket yesterday and I'm so excited to visit my family for a whole month. But in the meantime, thanks to October I have completely fallen in love with autumn, and I can't wait to discover what November holds!

Wow, I can't believe the first month of college is already over with. I have completely fallen in love with everything about Oregon--the scenery, the people, the opportunities it gives me. I could just live here forever.

My friends and I all have fantastic plans for the fall months and I have some cool posts lined up. October is going to be great.

Goodbye August; Hello September

This is my second "month in review" post, and it's really awesome to go back to goodbye July and see how much I've grown even in just one month. A month ago I was scared to death of going to college, I was sad, I was ready for summer to be over, I never wanted summer to end; and now I'm at college and I am so happy. Sorry mom, but I really love living life on my own, especially at a place like George Fox. I do miss my family though, and Matt a lot, but thankfully things like Skype and texting make it not so bad.

But August was definitely a month of changes. Here are some of my favorite posts! You can click through to look at each post.















Letter to matt













Cheers to August for being an adventure-filled month, and to September to be overflowing with even more adventure!

Goodbye July; Hello August

For the next twenty three days, I'm going to be an emotional wreck. In twenty three days, I'll say "see you soon" to my boyfriend, hug my siblings for the last time, and hop on an airplane with my parents to go to college. On the one hand, I'm ready to go now and I am unbelievably excited to go. But on the other hand, it's going to be the hardest thing in the world parting ways with my family and Matt. Gosh, I'm crying right now just thinking about it ...

So onto a happier note, here are some of my favorite posts from the month. You can click on the photo to view the post.










Hope you had a wonderful July, and may August be even better!

Product Review: Moo.com

A couple weeks ago I ordered business cards from moo.com and I finally received them the other day! Let me just say this: wow. If you are ever in need of business cards, this is the place to go. The cards themselves are really thick, so they are durable, and they are recyclable too! I used my own design and the cards stayed true to the colors and whatnot. The back of my cards have all my contact info. It's cute too, but I forgot to take a photo!



It's going to be hard giving these away because I love them so much. I would say they are well worth the cost. I paid about $30 USD (shipping included) for 50 cards (I got doubles of each), and I used a discount I found by searching for coupon codes hehe. And the cards came in a recycled box which is also super cute and perfect to showcase them to customers.

I was having such a hard time working with Kinko's online to make posters because the CYMK (which is the color code they use to print) kept messing up my RGB color photos. So I finally gave up and ordered 8x10 photos from walgreens to serve as posters. SO. MUCH. BETTER. The colors are perfect and I have a nice glossy finish. I also got some 4x6s as well to put in my school's office.



I am seriously beyond excited about my business cards and I can't wait to order more!
