The best month

This month has been amazing thus far, and there's a lot to look forward to including my iPhone this Friday. Work has definitely made it a good month as well. I absolutely love my job.

My Sunday bike rides have allowed me to take time for myself while enjoying the beautiful fall scenery. And in a couple of weeks, I'm going to see my friend from college Andrew, who lives in LA and just moved to new digs. Three days later, I'm heading back to LA for a massage and a nutrition consultation. How awesome is that right? So much to look forward to.

Halloween is around the corner. I don't have any major plans quite yet. I think it'll involve Halloween/scary movies - "Scream 4" is definitely necessary - and taking my little cousin trick-or-treating.

The holiday season will be fantastic! I'm ecstatic and I'm creating a master plan where I'll visit one region in the U.S. per summer... next summer, the Northwest! :) In addition to that, I'm thinking of venturing out a little more to see some of California geographical gorgeousness (thanks to the science teacher where I work)!
