a nature walk and other little things.

these past few days, i was lucky enough to spend a perfect weekend at home in colorado. 

there's just something about being home with my lovely family that i can't get enough of.

families are just the best, you know? 

well, my dad and i grabbed our pup and took a walk around the open space outside our house yesterday afternoon.

every time i hike around my house, i'm reminded how fortunate i am to have grown up in such an incredible environment. 

and between the fallen leaves, the cool almost-winter air, the good conversation, and the sight of my little doggie in a boot, this walk was definitely ideal. 

and of course, i couldn't resist snapping a few photos with my mom's camera...

 

other high points of the weekend:

-running shoe shopping with madre

-dinner at our favorite little restaurant

-a catch up with my best friend that lasted wayy too long into the night. even though it's only been a week since we last saw each other...

-office episodes (and consequential crushing on jim halpert) with the bff

-good news from the doctor

-nap times (!!!)
-business scheming with padre

-a serious lack of homework

-parks & rec with the little bruddah

-father-daughter date to the movies

-too much good food

-family. family. family.

now, it's back to reality & another long week of work and school.

but first... what made your weekend great?
