hair.

sometimes i really miss my long long hair.

i sometimes wonder what it would be now if i’d continued to let it grow.

i love the sassy short though, there’s no denying that.

flowers & pumpkins

i got to take home these lovely flowers from an event on tuesday.

and stephen surprised me with this little pumpkin yesterday! his name is george.

oh fall, please let the weather catch up with the days…

just one of those days

it just is.

i’d like a do-over please…even shoes can’t help me now.

nothing like some fried pie!!

on sunday, stephen and i decided to head up to norman, ok to visit his brother nick, who just started at the university of oklahoma.  it was really a whirl-wind trip! we had a great time visiting, seeing friends and admiring the campus. but the fun didn’t really start until we made it to turner falls on our way home. we really wanted to go see the view at the falls, and upon exiting we see this:

now, i don’t know what kind of person you are, but that sort of thing catches my attention.  so we head over to the falls to catch the view and ooh and ahh…

after which i say “so how about that pie?!” of course the place was packed…it was almost like a scene out of preparation for a state fair or something. stephen decided on the peach fried pie, i got the blackberry one and we both enjoyed some vanilla custard.

the pies and custard were incredibly delicious…a guilty pleasure, if you will. so next time you’re driving on 35 stop in davis, okla., and be sure to catch the view at turner falls and enjoy some fried pie.  and if you make it just a little north of davis, please, please stop in pauls valley to see the toy & action figure museum.  we wanted to, but it was closed!

(and if that shot doesn’t do it for you, i don’t know what will…)
