What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Here's what I'm loving today!


I'm loving that I only need 7 more classes to graduate with my Biology major and Chemistry minor after this semester!



I'm loving that Starbucks has their pumpkin spice lattes back for Fall already, AND that my school has a Starbucks on campus :)



I'm loving that September is here, and Fall is just around the corner!


I'm loving that it's Clemson football season again!




What are you loving today?

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Here's what I'm loving today!


I'm loving the beautiful Fall weather we've been having!

I'm loving how extra cooperative my hair has been since the weather has cooled down some!
Why can't my hair always behave this well?!

I'm loving that I'm seeing some results from all my late night studying. Yesterday I got back a 104 on a Chemistry quiz and a 91 on my Zoology exam.
You may remember that Chemistry isn't my best subject so I'm extra proud of that one :)


I'm loving burning my Fall Yankee Candles!
They're my favorite :)


What are you loving this week?

Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge Day 10

Today is the last day of the Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge!

Day Ten
Thanksgiving Memories

My best Thanksgiving memories are from when my mom's parent's were still alive.

My sister and I would drag my grandma's Christmas tree down from the upstairs bedroom and put it up for her. We always looked so forward to it because we got to put her Christmas tree up very early, and normally before ours went up at home.
Then we would always go Black Friday shopping the day after Thanksgiving.

My mom, my sister, and I still have the Black Friday shopping tradition the day after Thanksgiving!
It's really fun for us, and really we like spending the time together the most.
Oh, and trying to secretly slip off and buy something for each other for Christmas without the other person knowing ;)

What are your Thanksgiving memories?

Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge Day 9

I missed out on posting this yesterday, so I'm posting it a little late :)

Day Nine
Favorite Football Pastimes


Football has always been about rivalry, even before I got married.
My mom, my sister, and I are big Clemson fans.
While my dad is a South Carolina fan.

Now that I'm married, my husband is also a South Carolina fan.
I think my dad really enjoys having someone on his side now to talk about it with :)

When Clemson and South Carolina have played each other in the past, my family and I have gone to eat at Wild Wings to watch the game.
Last year though we grilled steaks and watched the game at my parent's house.
This year my husband and I usually grill steaks every Saturday when our teams play.
I don't know why, we just do :)


I have been to a couple of Clemson games at Death Valley before.
My uncle had season passes to the games and a tailgating spot, and I really enjoyed the tailgating!
I wish I lived close enough to Clemson because if I did I would definitely enjoy tailgating on Saturdays!

One big part of my football watching includes dressing up all my furbabes!
What else is new, right?!

Here is a picture of Chris and me wearing our rivalry t-shirts with my parent's dog all decked out!


I don't have t-shirts for Youri or D'Artagnan so for last week's game, I tied a purple ribbon around their necks to get them in the spirit!





What are some of your favorite football pastimes?

Day Eight
Fall Travel/Road Trips

I've never really done any serious Fall travel.
Ever since I started kindergarden I've been in school during the Fall.
Which means I haven't really had the time for Fall trips.

This year though I hope to take a little mini trip one weekend up to NC.
Since I live on the border between SC and NC this isn't what I'd call a road trip :)
But I really want to go pick apples and see the pretty leaves in the mountains!

There are so many Fall recipes that I could share, but I've really had these on my mind lately!
